Abstract: The study was undertaken to modify by incorporation of cleaning unit of FARC Engine driven groundnut stripping machine. The machine was fabricated from locally available materials. The effects of drum speed and feeding rate on mean stripping capacity and cleaning efficiency indicates that the highest stripping capacity and cleaning efficiency was recorded at drum speed of 310 rpm as 216kg/hr. and 79% while the lowest stripping capacity and cleaning efficiency obtained at drum speed of 250 rpm as 150 kg/hr. and 65.67% respectively. The machine has the capacity of stripping of 190 kg/hr. and cleaning efficiency 66.33% at the recommended speed of operations. At the higher speed of operation the machine has relatively higher pod breakages of 21% and with high scattering of pods due to high vibration of the sieve.
