Product:

The straw, chaff, grains are separated and thrown separately, thus reducing labor and drudgery.Using this machine threshing can be done even in rainy days under a shade.The thresher can be operated by a 5 hp electric motor or tractor PTO.It requires only two people to thresh.

The thresher is consisting of feeding chute, threshing cylinder, blower, straw outlet and grain outlet. The body is made of high quality steel and sheets to withstand maximum wear and tear. These threshers can be operated both with electric motor and diesel engine. The paddy crop's straw is separated from grain in the threshing cylinder. The straw is thrown out from the machine with the help of blower, and the paddies are thrown out through other outlet. The special feature of this machine is that it does not chop the straw and hence we get it in full length.

Technical specification:

• Overall dimensions (in mm) : L 1660 , W -1580 , Height -1650
• Weight - 250 kg
• Engine power requirement - 5 hp Diesel Engine or Electric Motor
• Thresher cylinder Speed (rpm) - 510
• Cleaning system Blower
• Feeder capacity - 900 kg /hr (789 kg / lit)
• Grain output - 444 kg /hr (370 kg / lit)
• Thresher efficiency (%): 96.5 - 96.8

Key Compititive Advantage:

• It can thresh paddy without chopping the straw of the moist crop
• Low cost and high power threshing machine
• The straw, chaff, grains are separated and thrown separately thus reducing drudgery.
• The device is easy to install and maintain.
• It does not chop the straw and hence we get it in full length.

Problem addressed:

Pepper is usually manually threshed, which a cumbersome and time-consuming job is done by women. During threshing, the berries may get damaged and the threshing percentage is also low. This machine is used to thresh the pepper berries both mechanically and manually.

Product

Innovator has developed the thresher which is used to thresh the pepper berries mechanically as well as manually. The thresher consists of a feeding hopper made of an iron sheet, a rotating wire-loop type threshing drum and a concave metal sheet with a perforated bottom, all of which are mounted on the main frame. Power from an electric motor is transmitted through the V-belt and pulleys to the threshing drum. The machine also has the facility of manual operation. The harvested pepper spikes are directly fed to the hopper through the rotating drum. The threshed pepper passes down through the perforations and gets collected at the berry outlets.

Technical specifications:

The machines are available in two models; in the first model, about 150 kg of pepper can be threshed in one hour using half HP motor and in the second model, 300 kg of pepper can be threshed in one hour.

Key Competitive Advantage:

• Can be operated automatically and also manually
• Threshing capacity: 150 kg/hr - 900 kg/hr
• Continuous feeding possible
• Threshing efficiency - 95 %
• White pepper could be prepared in the same machine

Product:

The innovator has developed a versatile thresher that can meet these needs. It is a high capacity thresher, which can handle multiple crops (cereals, pulses etc.) including groundnuts with minimum machine adjustments. Threshed grains are cleaner and do not need further cleaning before bagging up, which saves time and energy. The switch over time for setting it up for different crops is less than 15 minutes.It contains an initial cutter that cuts the straws into pieces thereby reducing the power consumption required for threshing.

Technical Specification:

The thresher is divided into three main sections a) The feed in unit b) The cutting & threshing unit and c) The grain separation chamber. The feed mechanism has a gearbox, which is used to rotate five cylinder of the feed mechanism with different speeds to enable effective feeding to different crops requiring different rate of feed.

• Overall Dimensions L 3900mm, W 1092.2 mm, H -2-3.2mm
• Gear Box - Five Cylinders, Different Dimensions
