Study of Leaf Straightening Parameters in the Hot Compression Rolling Process

The theme of article is to enhance the straightening of raw plant leaves using the hot compression rolling process, which results in minimal greenhouse gas emissions and thermal energy loss. Performing the process accurately and precisely is challenging because it handles different shapes and sizes of leaves. However, by introducing the best methods and suitable roller sizes with accurate material, the process will be able to give fruitful results without any flaws. This process exerts a driving force on the leaf to improve straightening while increasing its durability and efficiency. The present investigation aims to study the various straightening parameters of the hot rolling compression process for different leaf grades through experiments and dimensionless analysis. The adopted process evaluates two parameters: the compressive stress at shear and the tensile stress at transverse shear. The compact design and development of a leaf-producing machine (setup) with all parts are elaborated and discussed thoroughly. Also, the real-processing leaf images at different loads ranging from 750 to 1000 N irrespective of and are presented. It is observed that at a roller surface temperature of 950 N, 90% of the leaf portion is uniformly compressed in all directions without burning and waviness. However, the burning of the leaf begins at 950 N with roller surface temperature, but even compression of the leaf is found at 850 N.
