Coriander Splitter

The seeds of coriander are required to be splitted into two halves before sowing for good seed germination and also processing it as mouth freshner. Traditionally the seeds are splitted manually and this operation involves drudgery and more time besides post harvest losses in terms of seed damage. The mechanized operation is therefore essential. Hence a machine to split the coriander was designed and developed at CIPHET. The machine is powered by 1 hp motor with capacity 60-80 kg/hr. The machine is equipped with two rollers of 6.5 cm dia and 10cm long. The differential speed is provided in two rollers so that coriander would break in two halves. The gear type metering device is provided in the splitter. The machine is able to split the coriander at moisture content up 14.2 %.
