RIPCO (B) introduces multi-purpose thresher

"With an output ranging from 400 kg per hour for maize and 200 kg per hour for sorghum and beans, the multi-purpose thresher is ideally suited for small and medium scale farmers and will indeed relieve them of manual threshing with its attendant health risks," a statement from RIIC says.

"Powered by a 5.5 hose power petrol engine, the multi-purpose thresher can be operated by two people, one feeding and the other bagging the final product."
