Research on the Physical Characteristic Parameters of Banana Bunches for the Design and Development of Postharvesting Machinery and Equipment

In the operations of banana postharvesting process, design and development related to dehanding machine, cutting crushing machine bunch stalks, fiber extraction stalks are in initial stages. addition, with society urbanization, aging populations hilly mountainous areas, where bananas planted, becoming a more serious problem. The basic physical characteristic parameters bunches, hands, basis for studying their biomechanical properties designing developing corresponding mechanical equipment. We measured diameter, thickness rind, curvature, density, moisture content, diameter vascular bundle, weight stalk, axial distance circumferential angle Brazilian plantain hands using experiments statistical analysis. Through combination numerical statistics, we obtained value range changing law bunches.
