Case study evaluates a lever–flywheel pounding machine's performance in optimizing profit and minimizing power consumption.
Agro-processing industries often face the challenge of high electricity costs in grain and spice pounding operations. This paper presents a case study on the design and evaluation of a lever–flywheel pounding machine that utilizes mechanical advantage to minimize power consumption while maximizing output efficiency. Two prototypes (2 HP and 0.5 HP) were tested. Results indicate that the 2 HP machine delivers greater throughput, whereas the 0.5 HP variant achieves superior profit efficiency per watt consumed. The study demonstrates how leveraging mechanical advantage can optimize profitability in small- and medium-scale agro-processing industries.
