Design and construction of a centrifugal grain grinder for a rural community.

Abstract

The design and construction of a centrifugal grain grinder, for my final year project, was undertaken to promote the grinding of various food grains for human nutrition, improve on the livelihood and increase grain production since the grinder can also be used for processing of other farmers’ food grain at a fee hence enhancing food security. The grinder design was based on the various solutions I came up with to help overcome the various problems faced by small scale community farmers to improve the nutritional status of the population and enhance food security hence the design and construction of a cheap, efficient and readily available centrifugal grain grinder.
