Abstract:
Linseed is a Rabi crop, cultivated for both seed and fibre purposes. It provides vital vitamins, minerals, and proteins, catering to vegetarian and vegan needs. Its stem is also used for fiber extraction so the every part of the linseed plant is valuable. The review of previous research works related to mechanism of threshing employed for various crops, influence of crop, machine and operational parameters on the design of threshers are studied. The findings concluded that physical and engineering properties of the linseed seed and agronomical parameters of linseed crop are important for designing different components of the threshing machine such as the hopper, threshing drum, selection of beaters, concave opening size, cleaning unit design, aspirator, conveying unit etc. It was also observed that impact and rubbing force is required for the threshing of linseed crop and wire loop type threshing mechanism is required for stripping linseed capsule. Peg with canvas strip type threshing cylinder provides the impact and friction force to the crop simultaneously a wire loop for stripping. Also the thresher performance is influenced by feed rate, moisture content, peripheral speed of threshing cylinder and concave clearance. The performance parameters of thresher to be studied are threshing efficiency, cleaning efficiency, threshing capacity broken grain and loss percentage. A head feed type thresher is required for threshing linseed and saving the stem for by product utilization as fiber.
