DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF YAM GRINDING MACHINE
Abstract
Yam is a daily nutritional food requirement for man and in order to facilitate the processing of
yam for consumption, a yam grinding machine has been developed using mainly some locally
sourced materials. The machine consists of a shaft, bearings, electric motor, yam beaters, bowl
and the frame. The machine was developed to enhance the hygienic processing of yam for
domestic consumption, while eliminating the tedious and laborious indigenous process of
preparing pounded yam. The end product of the yam to be pounded by the machine is expected
to have the same quality as the ones that are pounded through indigenous process.
