Design and Development of Pneumatic Cotton Boll Picking Machine
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper focuses on design and development of a new machine, to pick cotton bolls. In India, entire cotton is handpicked by labour, and internationally available machines for picking the cotton bolls are costlier and not affordable to Indian farmers. Also, these machines are not suitable for Indian farming condition. Pneumatic cotton boll picking machine, will give a new technology in the field of agriculture which is helpful for Indian farmers.
