Abstract
Considering the huge amount of human energy involved in grading of fruits and thereby degrading the quality by handling the fruits number oftimes the PDKV spherical fruit grader is fabricated utilizing four pairs of PVC pipes and the diverging gaps between each pair of pipes. The graderis tested for grading Nagpur oranges , guava , onion and kagzi lime . The parameters viz. slope and feed rate were optimized for optimum gradingthe grading efficiency for all the fruits was observed to be 73-90% and the capacity was observed to be 10-12 tonnes /day . The unit was foundtechno economically feasible with BEP 44%. The unit is suitable for rural entrepreneurship development.
