Problem Addressed
The machine automates the process of separating husk and paddy grain, which used to be manual-labour intensive work.
Technology
Traditionally, separating husk and paddy grain is a labour-intensive task that was performed manually which was not only time-consuming but also physically demanding. This process often led to inefficiencies and lower productivity. The machine design automates this entire process, offering a more efficient, faster, and less labour-intensive solution. It uses a combination of mechanical components that effectively separate the husk from the grain with minimal human intervention. By mechanising the husk-grain separation, the machine also improves the quality and consistency of the separation process. It ensures that the grain is not damaged during the process, which could often happen with manual methods. Additionally, the machine’s ability to process large quantities of grain in a shorter time frame enhances productivity, making it a valuable tool for farmers and agricultural businesses looking to scale their operations.
Societal Impact
This innovation not only modernises a traditional farming practice but also holds the potential to significantly reduce labour costs and improve the economic viability of small to medium-scale agricultural enterprises. It reduces the physical strain of manual labour, increases productivity, and lowers labour costs for farmers, particularly benefiting small-scale producers.
Current status
The innovator is planning to launch a similar innovation for wheat grains as well. The current machine is sold at Rs. 60000/-
