In the cotton ginning machine there is a fixed knife and moving knife. This moving knife is called as beater and it oscillates about its central longitudinal axis of the beater shaft. The fixed knife is in contact with the roller made of leather linings. The distance between the roller and the fixed knife is adjusted according to the quality of the raw cotton. Using this fixed knife and rollers cotton fibers are captured and the beater beats the held cotton to remove seed from it. During the operation the shaft fails at particular point due to wet cotton and after some duration (fatigue failure). In order to remove these failures two approaches will be used i.e. changing the dimensions of the shaft or changing the material of the shaft which will remove the failure at greater extent. So first we will design and analysis the beater shaft using Pro E and ANSYS 12.0 software respectively and finding the failure at par...

Almost In every house, mangos are used for making pickles and chutneys .In Gujarat, many household manufactures have grown an prosper through pickle industries. Basic operations like, cutting, slicing, peeling and grating, dicing, and handling manually and in unhygienic way are performed in Gujrat. All these operations are done by men and women by hands only in the industry and they are also tedious and labor intensive. So, these operations are needed to be performed automatically and rapidly. Slicing and cube cutting is one of the most important steps in processing of raw mango fruits. Mechanical slicing and cube cutting is capable of more precise than manual mango cutting operation. It reduces the operation time and improves the efficiency and accuracy of raw mango slicing and cube cutting. However, only limited work have been done and published, on the development of slicing and cube cutting machines. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to develop an appropriate, efficient slicer and cube cutter for mechanizing the pickle processing industry. Various physical properties namely; size, shape, unit mass, sphericity and bulk density, and engineering properties namely firmness, of freshly harvested mango fruit of cultivar "Rajapuri" were determined.

There are different varieties of grains have been used for the production of flat breads. In recent years, many researchers have tried to improve ingredient level, baking properties, nutritional value and extension of the shelf life of flat bread. They are usually produced from a simple recipe consisting of grains, salt and water in varying proportions, however, sometimes the manufactures also use optional ingredients like yeast fat, skim milk powder and certain additives like emulsifiers, hydrocolloids, enzymes and preservatives for quality improvement and shelf life enhancement. So to overcome this deign such type of machine that would help to quality improvement. To develop a machine having smaller in size and less bulky and cost effective especially for villagers. It is suitable for changing size of Papad with less effort. Designing such type of machine having optimum production and affordable for household business.
