A locust beans cubing machine was developed and its performance evaluated in this study. The machine is made up of three distinct and mutually controlled parts: The grinding part, the extrusion part, and the cutting part. Fermented locust beans is fed into the grinding part where they are ground and then moved to the extrusion compartment where it is extruded
African locust beans (Parkia biglobosa) have a rich nutritional content and distinctive flavour, which makes it useful as a food condiment. However, its traditional processing is inefficient and labour-intensive. Hence, this study aims to design and simulate a locust bean processing plant to address challenges posed by conventional methods of locust bean production, including low production, poor packaging, seed degradation,
