The present research was intended to evaluate the performance of tamarind briquetting machine. The machine was tested with tamarind pulp by alternating its moisture content. The test results indicated a satisfactory working of the prototype and fulfilling the objectives of the study. The average density of briquettes varied from to g/cm3 . The average pressure applied by the male and female operators was found to be kPa and kPa, respectively. It was possible to obtain a final density ( g/cm3 ) of briquette at a constant pressure of kPa at each stroke. During testing it is also noticed that both the male and female operators can perform the job efficiently through this machine under similar working condition. | Performance characteristics of a manually operated tamarind briquetting machine
