Abstract

Shelling is one of the post harvest handling for corn farmers where quality and time are important. Shelling that is done traditionally can cause fatigue and take a long time. The corn sheller machine on tricycle electric motorcycles can be used to save time during the shelling process. This research was conducted to design and make a corn sheller machine on a three-wheeled electric motorcycle that can be used to streamline time during the shelling process. In addition, the purpose of this research is to design and manufacture a corn sheller system on a three-wheeled electric motorcycle with a mechanical system with a DC electric motor as a driving force, separate corn kernels from the cob, and test with 1 kg of dry corn. The shelled corn kernels will be directly in the tub of a three-wheeled electric motorcycle while the cob will be thrown out. Based on the results of testing the corn sheller machine on a three-wheeled electric motorcycle, it was carried out twice, namely being able to shell 1 kg of corn with a percentage of crushed corn kernels of 25% for the first test and 35% for the second test.
