Abstract: | In order to assist organic farming, the effective utilization of manures is required. Recognizing the need and importance of pulverization of manures, the Department of Farm Power Machinery and Engineering developed and tested the manure pulverize and optimized the manure parameters. The machine consists of pulverizing drum, pulverizing blades, sieve, feeding hopper and supporting frame. Dried manures were fed into the pulverizing drum from the machine hopper through its feeding chute and it gets pulverized due to the rotation of the pulverizing blade. The average capacity of the pulverizer was 500.00 kg h-1. Efficient moisture content values obtained for cow dung, goat fecal pellet and neem cake were 20.93%, 16.70% and 14.20%, respectively. The complete testing analysis of the machine indicated that KAU manure pulverizer performed efficiently with the use of 5 mm sieve with 15 mm clearance for all types of dried manures tested. |
