Development of a Gravity Fed Automatic Vegetable Transplanter with Walking Beam Mechanism Sivakumar S.*, Durairaj C. Divaker Department of Farm Machinery, AEC&RI, Tamilnadu Agricultural University *Email: sivakumar95027@gmail.com
Online published on 24 December, 2014. Abstract A gravity fed automatic vegetable transplanter with walking beammechanism for feeding the plug tray wasdeveloped and evaluated in the laboratory. The main objective of this work is to make the seedling drop by gravity without causing damage to the seedling. To make the feeding pro - tray simple, an open bottom type pro tray seedling is used. To move the tray continuously, a 50 rpm gear motor with walking beam type moving mechanism was developed and tested. The conventionally practiced growing medium with 20, 30 and 40 days old seedling is used for conducting experiments. Under laboratory conditions it was found that it was feasible to drop 28 plants min−1. Top Keywords Transplanter bean mechanism, automatic vegetable transplanter. Top | |
