DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPURPOSE PUNCHING AND CUTTING MACHINES
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Two models of multipurpose machine viz. sitting model and standing model to punch a hole in tender coconut, to split a tender coconut after drinking inside water, to dehusk the ripened coconut, cutting a sugarcane bud chip, to cut raw mango into small pieces for pickle preparation and for bottle corking were developed by Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Talsande, Kolhapur (M. S.) India in December, 2014. These two models were studied for their performance and compared with traditional tools/machines. The sitting model of multipurpose machine was able to perform six operations viz. tender coconut punching, tender coconut cutting or splitting matured coconut dehusking, raw mango cutting, bottle corking and sugarcane set cutting. This model performed best in punching of tender coconuts (69 coconuts/hr) and dehusking of matured coconuts (75 coconuts/hr) than other purposes of the machine when compared with standing model and traditional methods. Standing model of multipurpose machine was able to perform all operations that sitting model can perform except matured coconut dehusking and bottle corking. Standing model performed best in cutting or splitting of tender coconuts (102 coconuts/hr) and raw mangoes cutting (21.22 kg/hr) than other purposes of the machine when compared with sitting model and traditional method. Both the models of multipurpose machine have shown poor performance in sugarcane set cutting when compared with traditional cutter.
