Abstract:
The two main types of cassava graters used in Ghana,
manual and power-operated, are described. Of the
latter; there arc two kinds, cylindrical and disc" the
performance, constructional details and costs of which
are illustrated and compared. Developed from mechanical
concepts inherent in existing cylindrical graters, a
prototype grater, incorporating new features, has been
designed and constructed and is also illustrated in this
ore. Tests indicate that the prototype is more sturdy,
gives a fairly high rate of production and is easy to
operate.
