Technology Series ISSN 0252-2004

The object of the technical memoranda in this series is to help to disseminate, among small-scale producers, extension officers and project evaluators, information on small-scale processing technologies that are appropriate to the socio-economic conditions of developing countries.

Tanning of hides and skins (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 1)

Provides technical and economic information concerning the tanning of hides and skins at scales ranging from two hides per day (a typical rural tannery) to 200 hides per day. Six alternative tanning technologies are described, from a fully mechanised 200 hides per day project to a highly labour-intensive two hides per day project. Subprocesses are described in great detail, with diagrams of pieces of equipment which may be manufactured locally. A list of equipment suppliers is also provided for those pieces of equipment which may need to be imported.

The memorandum on the tanning of hides and skins is, to some extent, complementary to that on the small-scale manufacture of footwear.

Small-scale manufacture of footwear, (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 2)

Covers the small-scale production of footwear (shoes and sandals) of differing types and quality, providing detailed technical and economic information covering four scales of production ranging from eight pairs per day to 1,000 pairs per day. A number of alternative technologies are described, including both equipment-intensive and labour-intensive production methods. Subprocesses are described in great detail, with diagrams of pieces of equipment which may be manufactured locally. A list of equipment suppliers is also provided for those pieces of equipment which may need to be imported.

Small-scale processing of fish (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 3)

This technical memorandum covers, in detail, technologies that are suitable for the small-scale processing of fish: that is, drying, salting, smoking, boiling and fermenting. Thermal processing is described only briefly, as it is used mainly in large- scale production. Enough information is given about the technologies to meet most of the needs of small-scale processors. Two chapters of interest to public planners compare, from a socio-economic viewpoint, the various technologies described in the memorandum and analyse their impact on the environment.

Small-scale weaving (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 4)

Describes alternative weaving technologies for eight types of cloth (four plains and four twills) of particular interest for low- income groups in terms of both price and durability. The monograph provides information on available equipment (e.g. looms, pirning equipment, warping equipment), including equipment productivity, quality of output, required quality of materials inputs, and so on. A methodological framework for the evaluation of alternative weaving technologies at three scales of production is provided for the benefit of the textile producer who wishes to identify the technology/scale of production best suited to his own circumstances.

Small-scale oil extraction from groundnuts and copra (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 5) Covers, in detail, various technologies for the extraction of oil from groundnuts and copra: baby expeller mills, small package expellers and power ghanis. Three main stages of processing are considered, namely the pre-processing stages (drying, crushing, scorching), the oil extraction stage and the post-treatment stages (filtering, cake breaking, packaging, bagging). The economic and technical details provided on the stages of processing should help would-be or practising small-scale producers to identify and apply the oil extraction technology best suited to local conditions. A chapter of interest to public planners compares small-scale plants and large-scale plants from a socio-economic viewpoint and suggests various policy measures for the promotion of the right mix of oil extraction techniques.

Small-scale brickmaking (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 6)

Provides detailed technical information on different brickmaking techniques and covers all processing stages, including quarrying, clay preparation, moulding, drying, firing and the testing of produced bricks. The techniques described are mostly of interest to small-scale producers in both rural and urban areas. The processes and equipment are described in great detail, including drawings of equipment and tools which may be produced locally, floor plans, labour and skill requirements, materials and fuel inputs per unit of output. A list of equipment suppliers from both developing and developed countries is also supplied with a view to assisting the would-be brickmaker to import the required equipment. A chapter of interest to public planners compares, from a socio-economic point of view, the various brickmaking techniques described in this memorandum.

Small-scale maize milling (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 7)

Provides detailed information on alternative techniques for the production of whole meal, bolted meal and super-sifted meal. It covers all processing stages, including grain preparation, shelling, milling, sifting and packaging. The techniques described are mostly of interest to custom mills and small-scale merchant mills located in rural and urban areas. The first chapter of the memorandum gives in-depth information on the effects of different maize-milling techniques, including the nutritional value of various kinds of maize meal, employment generation, foreign exchange savings and so on.

Small-scale paper-making (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 8)

Provides technical and economic information on alternative paper-making technologies, describes the characteristics of various types and grades of paper products and gives guidance in the choice of paper machines. The information relates mostly to small-scale paper mills with a capacity of 30 tonnes of paper per day or less. The raw materials suggested for such mills include straw, bagasse, waste paper, rags and cotton waste, as well as other agricultural residues and imported wood pulp. Unlike other memoranda in the series, this memorandum is not a technical introduction to paper-making in general, nor is it a basic textbook on the subject. Instead, it provides people already in possession of the necessary background knowledge with criteria for choosing amongst different methods of paper-making.

Small-scale processing of pork (Technology Series - Technical Memorandum No. 9)

Provides detailed technical information on small-scale technologies for the production of a variety of pig-meat products, including fresh sausage, Mortadella, ham, bacon, Metwurst and so on. Information is provided on the raw materials required, processing equipment, plant layout and hygiene, and the processing stages for each pig-meat product. A methodological framework for the evaluation of alternative meat processing technologies and scales of production is included for the benefit of potential meat processors. The focus is placed on the establishment of pork processing units which operate as a separate business. However, with some adaptation, the information supplied should also allow planners to assess the feasibility of attaching a processing unit to an existing slaughterhouse or butchery business.

Solar drying: Practical methods of food preservation

This training manual is the outcome of an ILO regional project on the development and application of appropriate food-processing technologies. The manual provides clear and detailed information on the basic theory and practice of sun and solar drying of various food products (fish, fruit, vegetables and grains). It discusses the type of information needed to determine whether solar drying is feasible and appropriate in particular cases, and, with an explanation of how the sun's energy can be harnessed, outlines basic drying theory. Several different types of dryers-cabinet, tent, paddy, hybrid -are described and some guidance is given on their construction. Information is also provided on the preparation of the raw materials before they are dried and on packaging techniques for the dried product.
