Demonstration Fusarium Removal Machine Engineering
Fusarium Head Blight is a very common fungus disease prominent in small grain cereal throughout the world. This
fungus infected wheat crop across Canada from Ontario to Alberta. The economic losses in Canada are estimated
at $80 million annually over the last decade due to yield loss and quality loss. Fusarium has been detected for the
first time in northern British Columbia. In the foreseeable future, Fusarium is expected to increase in both
incidence and geographic distribution in Canada. The overall goal of this project is to design and build a pilot
scale demonstration machine for the separation of Fusarium damaged kernels. The demonstration machine shall
be based on the specification document appended plus the improvements and enhancements developed under
this plan. The intended throughput for the demonstration unit is 6 tonnes of wheat per hour. The major
deliverables are the machine itself, the dies and jigs required to produce components and the engineering…
