Abstract
After harvesting it is customary to leave the stalks in the field as they are. Before the next cultivation season commences, these stalks get dried in the sun and are then burnt as firewood in households or burnt in the field itself. This leads to excessive pollution. These plants may be transported to various industries related to plywood, furniture, etc. where they may be put to better use. But these stalks are light in weight & high in volume. Hence it is not economical to transport them to industries for further processing. These stalks may be chipped manually and then transported, but this method is very time consuming and labor intensive. This paper is an approach to solve this problem by presenting design and development of a chipping machine. The machine provides means for quick and easy chipping of residual plant stalks thereby facilitating its transport and value addition for farmers.
