Simple Technology to Get to the Nut of a Problem(2/2)
As described at fullbellyproject.org, the Universal Nut Sheller is basically a cement cone within a cone. The top and bottom are open. The user turns a handle and the peanuts fall between the surfaces and are rolled and squeezed. The peanuts and broken shells drop through the bottom and are separated by hand. The machine can also shell coffee, jatropha, shea nuts and neem nuts.
There are two main ways that the group provides its technologies. One is where individuals or groups based in the United States donate seven hundred dollars. In return, they take a kit and build the sheller in a developing country.
The kit contains fiberglass molds and enough metal pieces to build three machines. With the molds an unlimited number of machines can be built with locally purchased metal parts. The sheller generally costs about fifty to seventy-five dollars to make.
The second way the group distributes its machines is through partnerships with nongovernmental organizations.The Full Belly Project also has a pedal-powered sheller. Now, volunteers are designing a pedal-powered grain crusher. Goals for the future include all the simple technologies needed to make ready-to-use therapeutic foods to treat malnutrition.
参考译文:
正如“温饱计划”网站(fullbellyproject.org)所描述的,通用坚果剥壳机是一个水泥圆柱体内套另一个圆柱体。其顶部和底端是开口的。使用者转动摇杆,花生落入圆柱体表面之间,滚动,被挤压。花生和破碎的壳通过底部落下,然后手工分离(它们)。这个机器也可以用于咖啡、麻风树、非洲酪脂树果以及苦楝果。
该组织主要通过两种方法提供此技术。一种方法是在美国的个人或组织捐献700美元。作为回报,他们获得一套小工具,并在发展中国家装这样的剥壳机。
这套小工具中包括玻璃纤维模具以及足够装3台机器的金属片。有了这些模具以及在当地购买的金属零件,可以装配无限台机器。这种剥壳机的成本大约是50-75美元。
该组织分配这种机器的第二种方法是通过与非政府组织协作。“温饱计划”中还有脚踏式剥壳机。现在,志愿者正在设计一种脚踏式谷物碾碎机。未来的目标包含所有用于制备即食治疗食物(RUTF)所需的简单技术以治疗营养不良。
