The Centrifugal Fufu Pounder
Abstract
The paper describes two centrifugal machines for pounding Fufu, a West African meal. The first machine is the Nigerian/Japanese Yam Pounder which is capable of pounding only yam. The second is called the KEDOAN an acronym coined after the names of the inventors; it pounds into Fufu the four basic foodstuffs (yam, plantain. cocoyam and cassava) and their combinations satisfactorily in less than 5 percent of the time required by the indigenous approach. That is, it produces the right texture of Fufu without any lumps whatsoever over a process cycle of much less than one minute to serve about three people of normal appetite for Fufu.
