Red pepper calyx cutting devices using a impacting force by a rotational cutter were devised and tested to obtain the fundamental data for development of a calyx removal unit. Fresh red peppers with 80∼87%(w.b.) of initial moisture contents were used as experimental materials. Square and wire type of rotational cutters were used to cut the red pepper calyx and the fresh red peppers were fed into the device both manually and automatically. Three rotational speeds of 250, 500, 700rpm were selected for a square, and 1000, 1500, 1800rpm for a wire type cutter respectively. Four types of red pepper fixing unit were used in manual feeding. The cutting rate of the square type cutter was over 50% regardless the shape and specification of the cutter. For the wire type cutter, the copper wire and nylon chord could not be applied to cut the red pepper calyx because of the low cutting rate. But for the fine wire, the cutting rate was higher and the cutting mechanism was more steady than copper wire and nylon chord. The cutting rate of automatic feeding and wire type cutting unit was about 70% for all levels of the rotational speed. The cutting rate was highly related to the impacting point of red pepper in carrier box. To increase the cutting rate using the rotational cutter, a proper device and mechanism was required to keep the impacting point consistently.

Geometrical characteristics of fresh red pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) were measured and indexed to define some important geometrical characteristics, and malformation of body and fruit stalk which are necessary for the design of the equipments for cutting, spreading and alignment of red pepper in developing a fruit stalk remover of fresh red pepper. The effects of bending of body and fruit stalk on the equipments of cutting, spreading and alignment were studied. The maximum lengths of some parts of fresh red pepper were found to be 180 mm, 125 mm, 144 mm, 67 mm and 76 mm for the body, the bent part of body, the fruit stalk, the bent part and the straight part of fruit stalk, respectively. The fresh red pepper with bending indices more than 0.4 and 0.3 for the body and the fruit stalk, respectively, was defined to be malformed based on the result of cutting rate using cutting unit; while the other ones to be normal in shape. Based on this, among the total fresh red peppers tested, 47%, 40% and 20% were found malformed for the body, the fruit stalk, and for both of the body and the fruit stalk. Malformed red peppers were poorer in spreading and alignment than normal ones, and the processed quantity was decreased with increased feed rate. The required time for the malformed peppers to pass on the alignment plate inclined at 30 increased rapidly at 8.3 Hz with increased feed rate. For the fresh red peppers with average moisture content of 85%,w.b., the maximum tensile strength between fruit stalk and body was 88.1 N; the maximum cutting resistances were 92.1 N and 94.9 N for the fruit stalk-calyx joint and body, respectively. Average coefficients of static friction were 0.99, 0.62, 0.59 and OJ, respectively, for the surfaces of rubber, galvanized iron, acryl and plywood.

본 연구는 전통식물 누리장나무를 조경 소재로 개발하기 위한 기초연구로서 자생지 환경특성 및 생육특성과 번식방법을 규명하고자 실시하였다. 우리나라 전역에 자생하고 있는 누리장나무는 예로부터 어린 잎을 식용하거나 줄기, 뿌리 등을 약용으로 이용한 토종식물로서 전통 조경식물로 구분할 수 있다. 누리장나무가 기록된 최초의 문헌은 1937년 정태현 등이 저술한 <조선식물향명집> 에서 개똥나무라 칭하였으며, 황해도 이남 산야지, 산기슭, 하천변, 둑 등에서 자라고, 식용 및 약용으로 이용된다. 누리장나무는 우리 역사와 함께 하였으며, 여름에 피는 흰 꽃과 가을에 익는 비취색의 열매는 관상가치가 높아 조경용 소재로 개발할 가치가 높다. 누리장나무는 낙엽활엽관목으로 한 화방내 꽃의 크기는 1.2cm로 작은 편이며 수술의 수는 4개, 암술의 수는 1개였다. 화방의 총 길이는 15cm, 화방폭은 20cm였으며, 화방당 꽃수는 84개로 한 화방당 꽃이 많은 것을 알 수 있었다. 열매색은 흑청색으로 과폭은 0.72~0.75cm, 과고는 0.71~0.73cm로서 거의 원형에 가까웠으며, 6월 11일 착과되어 이듬해 봄까지 열매가 달려있어 열매 감상기간이 총 175일로 길었다. 자생지의 토양산도는 안양 수리산이 4.58로 강원도의 정선 아우라지의 5.52보다 낮았다. 누리장나무의 종자발아율은 자생지별로 다양하였으며, 플러그(plug) 상자에서 발아율이 80% 이상으로 높게 나타났으며, 생장 역시 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 녹지삽목 시기를 6월과 7월에 걸쳐 실시한 결과 7월 7일 처리구에서 공히 발근율이 가장 높게 나타난 반면 6월 23일과 7월 21일 처리구는 발근율이 오히려 낮아졌다. IBA 농도에 따른 발근율을 조사한 결과, 7월 7일 IBA 1,000 ppm과 2,000 ppm 처리구에서 발근율이 94%, 97%의 높은 발근율을 보여 누리장나무의 녹지삽목은 7월 상순 IBA 1,000~2,000 ppm의 저농도에서 실시하는 것이 가장 적합하다고 판단되었다.
