Desıgn and Constructıon of an Automated and Manual New-Fangled Fruıt Juıce Extractor
The goal of this study was to design and build an automatic and manual new-fangled fruit juice extractor. People's growing desire for fruit juice, owing to its nutritional benefits, has resulted in the development of a machine that would make the extraction of huge quantities of fruit juice easier and more efficient. The ideal operating criteria for the new-fangled juice extraction machine, juice yield, extraction loss, and extraction efficiency, were assessed for performance throughout the design phase. The entire production capacity of new-fangled juice extraction machines, both automated and manual, was also assessed. The machine was built manually with the use of local materials and tools. The major materials used for the construction of the machine were mld steel, stainless steel, and plastic. During the construction of the machine, the component pieces were fabricated separately using mld steel sheet, stainless steel, and plastic before being finally assembled. It was built in such a way that when the handle is moved, the fruits are crushed and juice is produced. It was also built to run automatically thanks to the incorporation of a drive belt and an electric motor. The orange and citrus fruits were washed and weighed in this study, with fruit weights ranging from 1.4kg to 2.5kg. Maximum juice output, extraction efficiency, and extraction loss were all determined to be 77.6%, 85.3%, and 6.5 percent, respectively.The results demonstrate that the newly planned and manufactured juice extractor performed well in terms of juice extraction capacity.
