MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024547 A) filed by Mr. K. Murugesan; Joshika. T; Dharshana. S; and Kavi Priya. S. M, Erode, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'design and fabrication of tamarind shell and seed separator.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. K. Murugesan; Joshika. T; Dharshana. S; and Kavi Priya. S. M.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Design and fabrication of tamarind shell and seed separator is the proposed invention. Designing a tamarind seed and coat separator involves creating an efficient, hygienic and compact system to automate the separation of seeds from the pulp and remove outer coats. The process begins with a feeding mechanism that gently guides de-shelled tamarind into the machine. A cover-breaking unit applies controlled compression or impact to loosen the outer coat without damaging the pulp. Vibration and airflow techniques are then used to separate the coat fragments, with sieves filtering them out. The seed removal section incorporates low-speed grooved rollers or blades to shear the pulp and isolate seeds, ejecting them through a tailored sieve system. Food-grade stainless steel components ensure hygiene and durability, while soft polymer rollers reduce pulp damage. A compact motor drives the separator units and optional sensors can regulate pulp flow and motor speed."
