Development Of An Integrated Palmfruit Processing Machine Using Specifications Generated From Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE):-Chukwudum Henry E
ABSTRACT
Over
the years, Palm oil has consistently been the world’s largest source of edible
oil, accounting for over 38 million tones or 24.9% ofthe global edible oil
production. Palm oil is reckoned to be ofhigh importance in the diet ofthe
average Nigerian, as it is estimated that about two liters of palm oil is
consumed by every household (of about 4-5 persons) on a weekly basis. Despite
the high dependency on the oil palm by the Nigerian populace, locally existing
oil palm processing technology are associated with problems such as; unhygienic
production processes, high rate ofhuman energy consumption, time wastage and
drudgery etc., thus this research work. Developing different capacities ofthis
integrated machine in line with the processing capacities ofsmall and medium
scale oil mills will require repetitive design computations to select and size
the appropriate components for any desired capacity ofthe machine. This process
is way beyond the expertise ofmost local fabricators who mostly rely on trial
and error to select components of machines they fabricate, and this most times
result to the development of a machine that is not performing efficiently
compared to the prototype. To eliminate these shortcomings, Oti (2020)
developed a Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) system for designing any desired
capacity ofthe machine. This project locks in on the development of an
integrated palm fruit processing machine using knowledge-based engineering
(KBE) system.
