Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design and characterization of a saffron flower harvesting and spice separation system. The system is a workable integrated system to obtain the spice for drying and packaging final phases of spice production. The main parts of the system are represented by a harvesting portable device and a double flow three way cyclone separator. The mechanical operating principle of the harvesting portable device and the working way of the double flow three way cyclone are described. Experimental characterisation illustrates in the paper the mechanical and fluid dynamics behaviour of harvesting and separating devicesItems in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
