IntroductionThe project is a pre-requisite for the award of Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mechanical Engineering.
The project “Design and fabrication a corn shelling machine” is indeed an essential one in a time like this when almost al human endeavour is embracing technology for efficiency and realiability.
First a corn shelling exercise is a function which could either be manually, mechanically or electro-mechanically operated with the simple objective of shelling out the grain from the cob. Before the middle of the 19th Century, the most widely used method of shelling was manual operation which was either actuated by using hand in contact with cob and subsequently twisting of the grain against the cob. Though, this method of operation is still in use but technologically it is out-dated and babaric. Outside the use of hand operation, another manual type of operation is used by different type of farmers, all depending on the type of farming “either commercial or other wise”.
This other type employs the use of hammer to hit on a sack containing the corn, the applied force is usually considerably small, so as to avoid the grain from been crushed as a result of the applied force.
As the world population is geometrically increasing, the need to provide this grain in a larger quantity becomes a task to man and technology. In trying to overcome this task
and to reduce the limitations of mass production of corn, a British industrial Company came up with the design of a machine was first operated manually
