Abstract :
An innovative mechanism is presented for granulation of sago particles. This study aims to express more closely the Coriolis effects in a granular medium. The results of analytical models with and without considering Coriolis force are compared and validated with the experimental results. The analytical results coincide with experimental results with average negligible error (4 - 6 %) in case of Coriolis forces are considered and with significant error (9 - 12 %) if not considered. The Coriolis force will support to the mass build up of the particles by affecting the centrifugal motion.

Key-Words / Index Term :
