ABSTRACT: This report presents study of jackfruit in brief. This report also includes about History, Production, Uses,
Processing and Scope of Jackfruit in market. The idea behind this report is to give information about the prototype, which we
are going to make on Jackfruit seed crushing machine. The reason to undertake the task of building this prototype is because,
there not that much development in this sector, till date most industries are crushing jackfruit seeds by man power. The objective
of this study was to design and construct the crushing and size reducing machine for jackfruit seed. Seeds are having thin cover.
This thin cover to be peel off before powder making process. Currently peeling of cover is manually done. This work is
laborious and time consuming. This is the main bottleneck in the value addition of jackfruit seed. To minimize the Labour work
we required to design and develop the Jackfruit Seed Crushing Machine.
KEYWORDS: - Jackfruit Seed, Crushing, Production, Processing, Scope in market, Prototype, Vibrating System,
Roller mechanism, Jackfruit seed crushing machine, Development.
I. INTRODUCTION
The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), also known as jack tree, is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit family
(Moracae). Its origin is in the region between the Western Ghats of southern India and the rainforests of Malaysia. The jack tree
is well- suited to tropical lowlands, and is widely cultivated throughout tropical regions of the world. About 75% of the Jackfruit
seeds are converted into flour (For processing of seeds into flour, the seeds are first sorted and then cleaned. Cleaning is followed
by roasting, roasting is done at appropriate temperature, when roasting is done at 1600C then good retention of nutrients like
protein, minerals due to reduction of moisture content. This machine is in starting phase of development so If proper funding and
development is possible than we can develop it to fully automated stage, improve the pulley clearance adjustment, and seed
powder making stage can be added as this machine is made for increasingly small industry to serve them in affordable price and
in efficient way.

1. Problem Identification and Problem Statement

The coating of jackfruit seeds is hard to remove with manually and the machine isn’t available, it can be easily done
manually. Jackfruit seed crushing machine is available but cost is very high. There in other automatic machine there are
more component and construction is not compact in so in small and medium scale industries such type machine are not use.
In monsoon season there was lots of mosquitoes were produce due to over ripens of jackfruit. Hence we are going to convert
these extra jackfruits in to useful products having longer life cycle. To overcome this problem we are going to design &
fabricate jackfruit seed crushing machine. In this machine we are going to crush to seed using roller mechanism. Finally
we will going to separate seed cover by using vibrator mechanism & fan.

II. RELATED WORK

Working Principle
Jackfruit Seed Peeling Machine works on principle of shear stress. Then, they fall down from hopper, due to gravity in the gap
between two rollers, which are rotating in opposite direction and at same RPM. Thus, slight friction is generated between seed
outer surface (Peel) and rollers outer surface which induces shear stress

4. Components:
4.1 Crushing Roller
A roll crusher is a type of crushing equipment used to reduce the size of materials. Size reduction is accomplished by
compressing feed material between two cylindrical rollers that rotate in opposite directions. Before crushing, the material
feeds into the gap between the rollers. As the rollers rotate, the material is compressed and reduced in size. Impact, shear,
and compression are necessary for crushing and size reduction. The material enters the crusher and is impacted by the
roll as it rotates. Then, shear and compression forces act upon the material as it’s pulled between a crushing plate or rolls.
The crushing rolls on these machines act as flywheels, contributing to the smooth, continuous operation and efficient use
of power. Roll crushing surfaces operate at a fixed distance apart, unlike the continually changing distances in a jaw or
cone crusher. The result of using this equipment is a more consistent product size.
4.2 Bearing
A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and
reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement
of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling
the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing
friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or the directions of the
loads (forces) applied to the parts.

4.3 Motor
A 3-phase motor is an electric motor that operates on a three-phase power supply, utilizing three alternating currents to
generate a rotating magnetic field, resulting in a smoother and more efficient power delivery compared to single-phase
motors. They are a type of AC motor that is a specific example of a polyphase motor. These motors can be either an
induction motor (also called an asynchronous motor) or a synchronous motor. The motors consist of three main components
– the stator, the rotor, and the enclosure.The stator consists of a series of alloy steel laminations around which are wound
with wire to form induction coils, one coil for each phase of the electrical power source. The stator coils are energized from
the three-phase power source.The rotor also contains induction coils and metal bars connected to form a circuit. The rotor
surrounds the motor shaft and is the motor component that rotates to produce the mechanical energy output of the motor.
4.4 Vibrating system
A vibratory motor is a three-phase motor that is intentionally unbalanced, and is also known as an eccentric rotating mass
(ERM) or vibrating motor. Vibratory motors are used to vibrate sieves, troughs and tables, but also to separate products in a
bunker or landfill pipe. Vibratory motors ensure an efficient and continuous process with an unobstructed flow of material.
They handle everything from fine particles such as flour, sand and powders to coarser materials such as wood chips,
gravel and coal. To use the motor, you would typically connect the red wire to the positive terminal (+) of your power supply
and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). You can use a DC power source, such as batteries or a regulated power supply,
within the specified voltage range.

Above figure shown as the jackfruite seed crushing machine. It consists of an roller, hopper, gear, pulley, motor,
shaft, collector, fan, compression helical spring .it works on the principle of shear stress induced in the roller system. The
hopper is connected to the frame and above the roller system., there is two roller mounted on the shaft. The bottom of the
electric motor place in it. And long shaft connected to the motor. The small pulley mounted on the electric motor shaft. And
belt drive for transmited the power from roller mechanism. First jackfruit seeds will be put in the hopper. Then those seeds
will go into the roller, at that time the shear will be crushed by stress. At that time of 70% seed cover will be removed . after
that the seeds particles will fall into the box below. A vibration system in connected at that place. The remaining 30% coat
will be removed by vibration it self. After that, the cover will remove on the seed itself with the help of a fan . when the seed
falls into downward direction. By this procedure jackfruit seed coat will be removed from this machine.

IV.FUTURESCOPE
The major portion of jackfruit market (both export and domestic) is captured by jackfruit chips. This is the traditional snaks
prepared from fully matured jackfruit. A number of tiny and household units is manufacturing this chips. They are supplying t o
domestic retail outlets and other big players. There units are not in the organized sector.
There new products which are aiming for export market are:
1. Vacuum fried jackfruit chips.
2. Dried jackfruit slices.
3. Retort jackfruit / chakkaavaratty ( in malyalam lamguage).
4. Jackfruit flour.
Basically, these products are costly and to certain extent it is not affordable in the domestic market. Vacuum fried jackfruit chips
are costing almost 1000 /- per Kg. Jackfruit pulp is the costing Rs 300/- per kg. Jackfruit powder is costing Rs 250/- per kg.

VI.RESULT AND CONCLUSION
1] Removing cover of the jackfruit seed is a difficult as well as time consuming task.
2] It is observed that mostly this peeling task is done manually and needs lots of human efforts.
3. Due to this machine used in processing of jackfruit seeds the price of jackfruit seeds based products will be slightly minimized
4] By using the jackfruit seed peeling machine we can not only lessen the human efforts but also increase efficiency 96% of
peeling the seeds at the speed of high rpm to carrythe same task.
5] Hence this peeling machine is a true need of peoples for decreasing the human efforts and simultaneously increasing
employment.
6] Small scale industry can be set up due to giving them in a affordable price.
7] Looking at the benefits provided by the seeds of jackfruit there should be a plant which can produce such products which will
help to utilize most of its benefits.
8] Increasing the efficiency of peeling the seeds can add the value to the further processing of seeds. Therefore jackfruit seeds
will be easily available in market.
9] This machine will create small amount of seasonal income to the common peoples who can sell the waste jackfruit seeds after
eating jackfruit to owners of small scale industries of jackfruit peeling ones.
10] While designing this machine we encounter various components of machine which we had to design by using theoretical
knowledge of various subjects like SOM, TOM, EMD, CAD, MWM, SMA, and MEM etc. Also we learned various
skills like teamwork, communication, creativity, decision making, problem
solving etc.
