| Summary: | 14 mm is required to fracture seeds of different sizes, 3) Among the hundred species of pines, a third are classified as analyzed and a mechanical shelling device using counter and 6) pine nut shells ruptured and shattered at low loading and mechanical properties, design criteria for applying as the pinon, pinyon, or North American nut pines. Pinus attempted, but the shelters damage the nuts and reduce value cembroides Zucc belongs to this category and is the species continuous shelling method for shelling pine nuts. damage, 4) compression forces to crack seeds of different deformation of shell without contacting the nut, grouping Eleven species of soft pine make up the group known variously engineering principles for shelling pine nuts were developed. establish design criteria for applying engineering principles for shelling pine nuts. The scope of the work included important part in the diet for humans. Most pine seeds are measurement of physical and mechanical properties of pine needed to provide a quality product at reasonable prices. The nuts and evaluation of one engineering principle for of the product. Improved mechanical shelling techniques are overall goal of this work was to develop information to presently shelled by hand. Mechanical. shelling has been process to crack seeds is needed to obtain adequate shelling, process. The engineering principles for cracking nuts were rates, so impact loading is not necessary for the shelling rotating roller principle can adequately crack 70% in a rotating rollers for cracking nuts was constructed and rupturing the seed shell. Based on the study of the physical seeds in size classifications is needed to minimize nut shells at rupture, 2) deformations ranging from 0.82 mm to 1. size range from 159.76 N to 304.69 N, 5) a continuous feed soft pines, Largely on the basis of wood and leaf anatomy. tested. Results of the tests showed that the counter These summarized criteria are: 1) cracking unsoaked seeds used in this study. The seeds of this species form an void spaces differ according to seed size allowing with about 8.9% moisture content enhances shattering of |
