Abstract:
The objective of this work is to train tomato processors in good practices for the use and maintenance of processing equipment at a pureed tomato processing unit in Ouahigouya in the northern region of Burkina Faso. It responds to the realization of a training book containing all the following information, namely: The technical and operational presentation of the unit's equipment, the treated products and the bio-parameters of use of the equipment and finally the methods of care or maintenance of the equipment before and after use. This fieldwork allowed us to transfer technology from the processing equipment we produce in the Mechanical Engineering workshop of the Mechanization Department of the Institute for Research in Applied Sciences and Technologies. This work is a beginning of the dissemination and popularization of the results of the research work carried out within the Mechanization Department that seem to be unknown to the general Burkinabe public.
