Abstract

Disposal of undesirable parts of vegetables from important processes is that precede different stages of manufacturing, which done in patients form for the consumer quickly and lowest cost. The okra pods trimming must manually process which excess time, effort and money. Thus, the aim of this research is design and evaluation of performance for an implement that trimming the okra pods. To achieve this aim some properties of okra pods measured to determine the specification of cutting design such as share angles and length. The designed implement tested using okra pods of Ismailia variety of number one grading size and it evaluated by identifying okra properties and implement performance. At all tests, the obtained results identified that, the performance of okra trim such as peak diameter, length and okra mass represents values for it prepared  mechanically less than that for manually preparing. The implement efficiency were recorded 79.92%; 7.69 % and 15.38 % for best abrade pods, the excessive abrade and the non-abrade respectively. While the implement productivity achieved about 41.04 kg.h-1 agonist 10.18 kg.h-1 for manually. Then, suggested implement can applied to decrease operating time and workers. Finally, the obtained residues of abrade okra were increased in thickness about 0.1, and .2 mm for trimming manually and mechanically respectively at compare with the theoretical value.
