Scum Removal, Jaggery.Abstract
An automated Scum Removal Machine is used to remove Scum produced during the production of Jaggery. Scum Removal is done by a manual method in our country. This project aims to develop an Automated Scum Removal Machine. The Scum removal machine can be adopted in the medium and large-sized jaggery production industry. This machine makes the process simple, easy and fast. It eases human effort and no requirement for skilled workers to operate the machine. It consists of the base, stands, leads screw, horizontal arm, thrust servo motor(0.5hp),shaft collectors, pan and multilevel filtration system.The stand and lead screw is mounted on the base and the horizontal is attached to the screw through the stand.The horizontal arm carriesa slow-speed AC servo motor and this AC servo motor runs the collector's through a vertical shaft. upward and downward movement of the arm is controlled by a lead screw which is controlled by switches.A multi-level filtration system is placed under the pan. The scum that is collected in the collector is lifted by raising the arm. Hence, the pure form of juice can be obtained from the above process. There is no availability of an Automated Scum removal machine.
