Back to work

Day Nine
Tuesday, May 26, 2015

Today, the grater team completed a second grater, despite many frustrating attempts to align the motor, and cleaned and grated a bunch of peeled cassava in order to run some more tests and diagnose the overheating problems that some of our customers were experiencing.  The press team, meanwhile, chugged away in the shop, measuring, cutting, filing, and grinding metal pieces to build frames for their machines, and also oversaw the delivery of several wood boards – a key component to the current press design.  The business team completed a few small tasks, but mostly worked with the other sub-teams, quoted prices for stainless steel, and did some blogging.

Testing a grater

Unfortunately, we had no power for most of the afternoon, which slowed down building and testing. We still managed to run some tests without power for the grater, and we began pressing a large bag of cassava that we had grated earlier in the day. We took the grater and some cassava back to the guest house, hoping to run tests there if the power came back on, but it was out for most of the night.
