Methodology
Basic Design and Construction
The principal components of the sugarcane juice extractor were performed as a framework, grating surface, drive system, hopper and cane stalk clapper. The relationship between design considerations was done as Grating Cylinder. Punched metal sheet was perforated to create grating medium and size reduction of the whole cane stalk. The grating surface was systematically positioned above a crushing chamber and at the lower base of hopper. The front view of the machine was shown in Fig.2. The perforated grating cylinder macerated the stalks into fine chips. The trapped liquid like sponge in the cane fibre was finally discharged and separated from the other plant materials in a crushing chamber. The speed of operating the grating cylinder was crucial. The peripheral speed was determined using Equation 1 and the expression of power requirement from Equation 2 (Khurm and Gupta,2008).
