摘要

In India, maize is emerging as the third most important crop after rice and wheat, and it has significance as a source of a large number of industrial products besides its use as human food and animal feed. Maize is also a versatile crop, allowing it to grow across a range of agro-ecological zones. Every part of maize has economic value as the grain, leaves, main crop stalk, tassel and cob can all be used to produce a large variety of food and non-food products. In India maize is grown in all the seasons, i.e., kharif, rabi and summer. After harvesting with sickle and plucking of cob manually, dehusking of cob is done by hand to remove its outer sheath and further grain is obtained by shelling the cob traditionally, i.e., by beating the dehusked cobs with sticks or with fingers or sickle, etc. This activity is mostly done by farm women. The output in terms of dehusking-shelling maize cobs was reported to be 30 kg/h with 8.3 percent grain damage in the traditional system (dehusking by hand and shelling by beating wooden sticks). From a random sample of 200 un-dehusked dry cobs, the minimum and maximum lengths were found to be 160 and 265 mm with varied maximum diameter of 36 to 52 mm. The equipment for shelling has been developed and commercialized. For dehusking-shelling maize cobs, power operated equipment has been developed and are being commercialized. This equipment may be suitable for an economically strong group of farmers (medium and large farmers) while in the country, about 80.3 percent of farmers of marginal and small size groups operate 36 percent of the area. In the paper, design considerations for developing a hand operated maize dehusker-sheller are given that can be utilized for developing equipment suitable for women workers.
