Root vegetables and fruits should be cleaned before weighting and grading as in the harvesting process it leaves the soil and foreign materials stick to the vegetable surface. Soil and other foreign materials must be removed, especially for medium and heavy textured soils in which a pre-harvest irrigation is used to loosen the soil prior to hand harvesting. Washing of fruits and root vegetables is vital steps in any processing operation, which give attractive, polished and chemical free fruits and vegetables. At present time,washing of fruits and root vegetables is carried out manually which is very tedious and time consuming and expensive process. As we know that time and human power are the important concern,now a days in every field so there is a requirement as to be design and develop a vegetable cleaning machine which will reduce the required human effort and make their task easy. Main objective of this study is design and develop a vegetable cleaning machine, using CAD model and FEM-Analysis Techniques. In this study, the design calculations and CAD modeling and Finite Element Analysis of the vegetable cleaner machine is present to conclude the safe design.

Keywords- cleaning process, vegetable cleaning,CAD model.
