Training on Good Practices for Start-Up, use and Maintenance of Processing Equipment in a Cereal Processing Unit in the Mouhoun Province of Burkina Faso

Abstract

The objective of this work is the use and Maintenance of cereal (maize, sorghum, millet, etc.) processing equipment in the province of Mouhoun in Burkina Faso. The work is carried out through the establishment of a training booklet containing all the following information, namely: the technical and operational presentation of each piece of equipment in the unit, the products treated and the bio-parameters of use of each equipment, and finally the methods of repair or maintenance of the equipment after use. This fieldwork allowed us to transfer technologies from the processing equipment manufactured in the Mechanical Engineering workshop of the Mechanization Department of the Research Institute for Applied Sciences and Technologies. This work is therefore the result of the dissemination and popularization of the results of research work that are unknown to the general Burkinabe public.
