Automated Rice Husk Straw Machine
Budget: ₹2,000 – ₹7,000 INR
I need a complete design package for a fully automated machine that converts farm-sourced rice husk into drinking straws at a modest, small-scale production rate. The concept must accept loose husk, process it into a workable pulp, form continuous tubing, cut it to consumer lengths, and handle drying, polishing, and counting without manual intervention.
Space is limited, so the footprint should stay compact and the power requirements reasonable for a rural workshop running single-phase or light three-phase supply. I will supply sample husk for testing, but the design must assume varying moisture levels and include basic pre-drying or moisture-balancing steps so the line stays consistent year-round.
Deliverables I expect:
• 3-D mechanical drawings and exploded views suitable for fabrication
• A bill of materials with locally sourceable components where possible
• Electrical and control schematics for the fully automated sequence (PLC or microcontroller, safety interlocks, sensors, actuators)
• An outline of the production workflow, target throughput per hour, and any critical operating parameters (temperature, pressure, drying time)
• Maintenance guidelines and operator instructions
I welcome proven experience with biomass molding, extrusion, or paper-forming machinery and would like to review similar projects or prototypes you have completed. If certain steps—pulp preparation, extrusion die design, or automated cutting—merit their own milestones, let me know so we can structure the project accordingly and move from concept to build as efficiently as possible.
