Health Benefit Of Sugarcane & How To Start Sugarcane Juice Business by moneyy88: 5:20am On Nov 21, 2021
MANUAL/ ELECTRIC SUGARCANE JUICE EXTRACTOR
A sugar cane juice extractor machine is a machine
used to extract the juice from sugar cane. These
juice extractor machines were built to help human
extract the juice from sugar cane through crushing
and rolling process.
A conventional machine is a simple machine
consists of several gears, rollers, and lever attached
on a cast-iron chassis body. Most conventional
machines are made up of cast iron material which is
strong and durable. These machines were made by a
simple mechanism of rolling and crushing
(Kulkarni, 2005).
Crushing a sugar cane requires strong force due to
its strong and hard characteristics. Juice extractor
machines were built mostly focused on the
mechanical of the machine. The efficiency of the
machine depends on the mechanical system that has
been designed on the machine. Mechanical power is
the most essential needs in these identified areas
(Olaoye, 2011).
According to Cesar B.G.C (2004), designed
conveyed screw press conveyors that gently
squeeze the fiber (sugarcane) in each stage,
improving extraction. The performance of a pilot-
scale screw-press conveyor was tested for
dewatering capabilities and power consumption.
The un-optimized equipment decreased megasse
moisture from 96 to 89 %.
Olaoye, J. O. (2011), developed a sugarcane juice
extractor for small scale industries. The designed is
a simple mechanical device for the extraction of
sugarcane juice. The output capacities of 10.50,
12.00 and 14.25 kg/hr were obtained at operating
speeds of 0.25, 0.3 and 0.36 m/s. The extraction
efficiency of the machine ranged between 40 and 61
% at operating speeds of 0.25 and 0.36 m/s. He
observed that this optimum performance of the
machine cannot be sustained over a long processing
period due to the bluntness development of the
perforated grating drum over time.

1. MATERIALS AND METHODS
An extracting machine was designed and fabricated.
The materials use for the design and fabrication of
the sugarcane juice extractor was locally sourced,
Stainless steel Plate, Rollers, stainless square pipe,
gears, chain, bearing, electric motor, reduction gear,
bolt, and nut were bought-out materials were used.
In the design, stainless steel material was used to
avoid contamination of the extracted juice. The
machine was designed to extract juice from the
sugarcane and it is powered by an electric motor.
The rollers are made of two parts which are the
slicing part and the crushing unit.
The machine was mounted on a table made from
square stainless pipes and angle bar, with the
electric motor and reduction gear mounted on the
base, the designed roller was assembling and
coupled with the shaft in the crushing chamber and
the pinion gears were used on both sides of the
rollers to connect to a chain drive.

II. MACHINE DESCRIPTION &
OPERATION
The crushing unit is made of two rollers which are
134 mm thick diameter and length of 26.5 mm, with
crushing section of the roller of 17.8 mm length and
the cutting blade section of the roller 8.7 mm, 148
mm long hollow stainless steel cylinders and
stainless steel rods of 32 mm diameter. The
crushing surface of the roller is of two dimensions;
one part is smaller and it is supported with cutting
blades that serve as a cutter while the other is bigger
and it has a rough surface with a depth of 5 mm
which then compresses the sugarcane after being
cut. The clearance between the two rollers is 15
mm. The two-shaft used on each of the crushing
rollers is carried by a shaft having a diameter of
28.8 mm and a length of 511 mm for the upper shaft
and the lower shaft, diameter 28.8 mm and length

BUSINESS:
Sugar cane juice is a very lucrative business, especially in this part of the world with hot atmospheric condition,...after the juice is being extracted, it is portioned into disposable cups and sealed with authomated sealing machine and left in the fridge to chill and oops there it is.
If you run a slush shop, Restaurants, Gym Center, Hotel, Amusement parks, Night Clubs....name it, i will advice you also add this to your dealings because all you need here is just to buy sugarcane

HEALTH BENEFITS OF SUGARCANE JUICE
1. One of the most important health benefits of sugarcane juice is that it is a diuretic which means that it helps treat urinary tract infections, kidney stones and ensure proper functioning of the kidneys.

2. According to Ayurveda, sugarcane juice helps strengthen your liver and is thus suggested as a remedy for jaundice. Jaundice is a condition where you find yellow pigmentation of the skin and membrane due to elevated levels of a substance known as bilirubin in the bodily fluids and is triggered by poor functioning liver. What sugarcane juice does is replenish your body with proteins lost and nutrients that it needs to recover quickly.

3. Another important health benefit of sugarcane juice is due to it being rich in the good kind of carbohydrates, protein, iron, potassium and other essential nutrients that make it the ideal energy drinks. Especially in the summer months, a glass of cold sugarcane juice will enhance both your health and your depleting levels of energy. It builds up plasma and body fluids and helps counter dryness and fatigue.

4. Ayurveda also suggests that ‘sugarcane juice exhibits laxative properties thereby improving bowel movement and relieving constipation’. Sugarcane juice also has alkaline properties which means it’s good for treating acidity and stomach burns.

5. It has a low glycemic index (GI) so it comes highly recommended for diabetics. A study showed that drinking sugarcane juice did not alter the blood glucose levels of diabetics drastically but you should check with your doctor before you start to drink some of this yourself.

6. Sugarcane juice is extremely rich in minerals which helps prevent tooth decay and bad breath.

So now you know why sugar cane juice is so popular during the hot summer months in India. Every time you feel like you need to replenish your body and re-hydrate during the summers, grab that glass of chilled sugar cane juice and enjoy its benefits!


III. DESIGN ANALYSIS OF
SUGARCANE JUICE
EXTRACTING MACHINE
a. Power Selection For Motor
The required power for the electric motor was
calculated using equation (1) (Alexandr et al.,
2010)
Power required (1)
Where
T is the torque in (N/m)
P is the transmitted power in watt
ω is the angular speed



However, a 3.0 hp motor of 1450 rpm was chosen
b. Determination of Actual Motor
Torque
The actual motor torque (Tm) was obtained
using equation (2) (Alexandr et al., 2010)
