Specifically, it shall be used to: 1.1 verify the mechanism, dimensions, materials, accessories of the coffee pulper and the list of specifications submitted by the manufacturer; 1.2 determine the performance of the machine; 1.3 evaluate the ease of handling and safety features; and 1.4 report the results of the tests. 2 References The following normative documents contain provisions, which through reference in this text constitute provisions of this National Standard: PAES 103:2000 Agricultural Machinery - Methods of Sampling PAES 252:2011 Agricultural Machinery - Coffee Pulper - Specifications 3 Definitions For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in PAES 252 and the following shall apply: 3.1 mechanically damaged parchment coffee ratio iQf the total weight of damaged parchment coffee to the total weight of sample, expressed in percentage 3.2 input capacity weight of coffee cherry fed into the pulper per unit of time, expressed in kilogratn per hour 5 PAES 253:2011 3.3 output capacity weight of parchment coffee collected at coffee outlet per unit time, expressed in kilogram per hour 3.4 overall height distance between the horizontal supporting plane surface and the horizontal plane touching the uppermost part of the pulper machine NOTE: All parts of the coffee pulper projecting upwards are contained between these two planes. 3.5 overall length distance between the vertical planes at the right angles to the median plane of the pulper and touching its front and rear extremities NOTE: All parts of the coffee pulper, in particular, components projecting at the front and at the: rear are contained between these two planes. Where an adjustment of components is possible, it shall be set at minimum length. 3.6 overall width distance between the vertical planes parallel to the median plane of the machine, each plane touching the outermost point of the pulper on its respective side NOTE: All parts of the coffee pulper projecting sidewards are contained between these two planes, 3.7 running-in period preliminary operation of the machine to make various adjustments pnor to the conduct of the test until the operation is stable 3.8 separation loss ratio of the total weight of the parchment coffee that comes out to the pulp discharge to the total input weight of coffee cherry to the pulper, expressed in percentage 3.9 pulping efficiency ratio of total weight of parchment coffee collected at all outlets to the total coffee cherry input to the machine, expressed in percentage 3.10 pulping recovery ratio between the total weight of parchment coffee collected at the main outlet to the total weight of input coffee cherry to the machine, expressed in percentage 6 PAES 253:2011 3.11 unpulped loss ratio of the total weight of unpulped coffee cherry to the total input weight of coffee cherry to the pul per, expressed in percentage 3 .. 12 scattering loss ratio of the total weight of the parchment coffee that fell around the base of coffee pulper to the total coffee cherry input to the machine, expressed in percentage by weight 3 .. 13 pUrilty ratio of the total weight of parchment coffee free of foreign matters to the total weight of sample expressed in percentage 4 General Conditions for Test and Inspection 4.1 Selection of coffee pulper to be tested Coffee pulper submitted for testing shall be sampled in accordance to P AES 103. 4.2 Role of manufacturer/distributor The manufacturer/distributor shall submit specifications and other relevant information about the coffee pulper and shall abide with the terms and conditions set forth by an official testing agency. 403 Role of the operator An officially designated operator shall be skilled and shall demonstrate, operate, adjust, and repair as the case maybe, related to the operation of the coffee pulper. 4.4 Test site conditions The coffee pulper shall be tested as installed for normal operation. The site should have ample provisions for material handling, temporary storage, workspace and suitable for normal working condition. 4.5 Test instruments The instrument to be used shall be calibrated and checked by the testing agency prior to the measurements. The suggested list of test instruments and materials needed to carry out the coffee pulper test is shown in Annex A. 7 PAES 253:2011 4.6 Test materials Coffee cherry to be used shall be commonly or locally grown and shall be soaked! in water for about 24 hours to be able to identify and remove the floaters. The coffee cherry that did not float shall be used as test materials. The amount of test material to be supplied shall be at least 75% of input capacity of coffee pulper. 4.7 Termination of Test If there is major component breakdown during testing, the test engineer from the official testing agency shall terminate the test. 5 Test and Inspection 5.1 Verification of the technical data and information of the manufacturer 5.1.1 This inspection is carried out to verify the mechanism, dimensions, materials and accessories of the coffee pulper in comparison with the list of technical data and information of the manufacturer. 5.1.2 A plane level surface shall be used as reference plane for verification of dimensional specifications of coffee pulper. 5.1.3 The items to be inspected and verified shall be recorded in Annex B. 5.2 Performance test 5.2.1 This is carried out to obtain actual data on the overall coffee pulper performance. 5.2.2 Data on coffee cherry such as type, size, variety and source shall be recorded. 5.2.3 Test materials to be used. Test materials prepared to be used for the running-in and for each test trial shall be the same characteristics and conditions. 5.2.4 Running-in and preliminary adjustment Before the start of the test, the coffee pulper should have undergone running-in period. (No other adjustment shall be permitted while the test is on-going). 8
