| Abstract: | A cassava chipping machine was designed, constructed and the performance was evaluated. The results obtained showed that the motor speed has significant effects on the chipping capacity, chipping efficiency and chips geometry. The higher the motor speed the higher the chipping capacity and the lower the chipping efficiency of the machine. The machine has a maximum capacity of 245 kg/h at 500 rpm and maximum chipping efficiency of 92.6% at a speed of 300 rpm. The overall best performance of the machine is obtained at a speed of 400 rpm with chipping efficiency of 86.5% and chipping capacity of 240 kg/h. |
