Enhancing the SunSieve Machine: Harnessing

Solar powered for Solanum Lycopersicum seed,
pulp, and juice extractor.
INTRODUCTION

Manually extracting tomato components is labor-intensive and

time-consuming.
The SunSieve system, powered by solar panels, offers an eco-
friendly and sustainable solution to the food processing industry,
enabling efficient extraction and separation of tomato seeds, pulp,
and juice.
Providing an alternative method to manual extraction can save time
and labor costs while minimizing waste.
LIMITING FACTOR

• High production and maintenance cost.

PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS

•Farmer - This innovation significantly reduces the workload on

farmers when it comes to seed separation, providing a far less labor-
intensive alternative to the traditional method.
•Agri-Entrepreneurs/ Tomato seed production Company - This
innovation is designed to benefit the tomato seed manufacturing
company by increasing seed production efficiency and lowering labor
costs.
