Abstract

The operation of a shredding machine is altered by clogging the cutting chamber. In this study, a high rotational clearing speed was developed to minimize damage and enhance the shredder’s performance. Three-factor and three-level tests were conducted using the peels’ speed, input rate, and moisture content to ascertain the machine’s ideal process parameters. Based on the single-factor experiments, the correct shaft speed (2400, 2600, and 2800 rpm), the input of cassava peels (1, 2, and 3 kg/min), and the moisture content (80, 85, and 90%) were then determined. Three stages of L20 (33) orthogonal arrays were performed to optimize the application parameters using I-Optimum. The results showed that the optimal conditions for machine efficiency (96.48%) and throughput (13.32 kg) were 2600 rpm speed; 1.03 kg/min input and 82.9% moisture content with desirability of 0.70. These results can serve as a guide for the shredder using cassava peels.
