Abstract
Abstract: Maize is one of the main grain crops in the world agriculture economy. The grains are removed by workers holding the cob in one hand and using pressure of the other hand. This traditional method is laborious, time consuming, low output and costly. A lowcost maize sheller has been developed in this project to overcome the difficulties of traditional method. This manually operated rotary maize sheller is of low cost and the output is 5kg/hr as compared to the traditional method. This equipment would be useful for farm worker and increase their efficiency and earning. The detachment of grains from cob has been found to be maximum at grain moisture of 12%. The recovery heart rate and resting heart rate of the workers have been found to be almost same.
