Abstract |
India is an agricultural country cultivating more number of ground nuts, corns, cereals etc., in the village sides of the country. The available automatic machines are imported from foreign countries. The imported machines are not only bulk in size but also costing around rupees one Lakh. In this project an attempt has been made for the design and fabrication of maintenance free multipurpose agricultural equipment exclusively for small farmers at cost not exceeding rupees 20000 per unit. The different components of above multipurpose machine are modelled using one of the parametric modelling software Creo parametric 1.0. The modelled components are fabricated and assembled together to form a complete machine. A study has been carried out to develop multipurpose agriculture equipment for performing major agricultural operations like goods carrying, spraying pesticides, sowing, seeding, weeding and cutting operations to increase the efficiency and reduce land preparation and handling cost. |
