Building a shaking table to aid in the separation and sorting of argan nuts

Public Deposited

A new solution for sorting Argan nuts is necessary to increase the output of Argan oil for Kibbutz Ketura's experimental Argan oil program. The continued support of Kibbutz Ketura’s community is required for further production. We designed an automated machine to sort argan nuts by size and researched different organization structures to understand how decision-making influences the argan oil program. The design autonomously sorts argan nuts and can be scaled up and implemented into the existing pilot process.
