1.2.3 RECEPTACLE
This is the outer funnel that collects the shelled corn from the conveyor to the outside.
1.2.4 SPIKES
This
is the rod attached to the surface of inner barrel which does the
shelling process with the inner barrel and the spring vanes. It is to
27 in number and measured vertically up from the barrels surface each.
1.2.5 COB OUTLET
This is an exit through which the cobs goes out of the barrel after shelling process.
1.2.6 CONVEYOR
This is the carriers that conveys/carry's the cobs out of the barrel after shelling process.
1.2.7 DISCHARGED CHAMBER
These are the holes perforated below the outer barrel through which the shelled grain corn falls out to the conveyor.
1.2.8 COLLECTOR/OUTLET BASIN
This
is curved mild steel welded below the perforated outer barrel inclined
to enable the falling out of the shelled corn to the receptacle.
1.2.9 INLET
This
is the particular place in the hopper through which the corn enters the
shelling unit/chamber for shelling process it is measured as.
1.2.9.1 SPINNING VANES
This is made up of flat tiny metal welded round the inner barrel
together it the spikes. It is the part of the machine where the corn is
being shelled. It is also placed horizontally wounded around the inner
barrel and should be capable of withstanding impact from corn and
posses good chemical resistance, high working temperature (100%) and
tensile strength. Dimensionally, it is measured 30mm from the surface
of the inner barrel wounded horizontally.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ] A machine for corn shelling is highly and greatly needed to consistency of usage of corn in local and international levels. With regards to this indispensable needs, a corn shelling machine is designed which operates to remove the corn grains and leaving the cobs intact. In attainment to this design objective and aims, a proper considerations was given to the machinability factor which includes; installation, simplification, durability, choice materi ...
