Grains Grinder

Market Research

Our concept for utilising this design is making it similar mechanism to a hand crank blender, and creating a stand where people can go and place their motorbike, rev, and grind their grains. There will be a sieve below the grinder with a certain size depending on the grain. The grain will keep on grinding until it reaches the size neccesary to fit through the sieve.

Real Grains Grinder

This annotated diagram of a grains grinder reprsents the process of getting grinded into the final product of grinded flour.

The grains goes into the mill housing which then goes into the rotating and stationary grinding plate which is powered by the handle/flywheel.

Pedal Bike Grainsrinder

These images demonstrate how a hand grains grinder has been attached to a standing bicycle where when a person bikes the wheel rotates causing the flywheel to turn and grind the grains, which is then collector.

Vehicle to Attach to

Motor Bike

This is a motor bike used for transport of goods and the grains will be grinded more efficiently than a tractor because of the high speeds a motor bike can reach while being at actual beneficial use to the driver.

Initial Design and Sketch

This is an initial model of our mechanism and how it will be fitted onto the vehicles.

Grinding Design

Idea #1 - Standing Grinder

The motorbike is on a stand and the grinder is attached the rear wheel, so when the engine is revved, the wheel spins causing the rotating flywheel in the grinder to spin causing the grinding plates to grind the grains. This is then collected at the bottom.

Pros

Easier to make
No issues with weight

Cons

Cannot be used for multitasking
Transport would be more difficult

Idea #2 - Portable Grinder

The idea is to instead of having the motor bike stationary the mechanism is attached onto a bike so you are able to go places while grinding the corn, therfore making it more effective.

Pros

More time effiecient
Can be used to transport the grinded material while grinding

Cons

Is harder to make
must figure out weight distribution
