Design and Fabrication of Cane Cutting Machine

Sugarcane is more important crop among the other crop cultivations in the India as it isimportant source of sugar and sugar based products which results in economic benefits to the country and farmers. With Fast growing demand in the agriculture industry and inadequate knowledge of thesmall farmers in fast production and trading of agriculture products, motivated us to fabricate a newdesign for automated sugarcane harvesting machine to eliminate the large exposure large insects andreduces labour cost especially during shortage of employees in various climatic conditions. Howeverrecent progress has made to fabricate the automated model but it results in various challenges in termsof operating efficiency on various climate and realistic conditions. In order to overcome thosechallenges, a new automated sugarcane harvesting machine has to be designed and fabricated as smallscale machine suitable under various realistic condition and resulting good operating efficiency and robustness. Further model is modelled with electric power supply through batteries as it offers themodel at affordable price, reduced size and provides environment protection as it operates withelectric motor instead of disease or petrol engine. In addition, it saves operating cost as electricity isprovided free to many small scale farmers in India. Experimental analysis and performance analysis with respect to operating power andoperating time, proposed model proves that it provides high efficiency and less maintenance oncompared with conventional models.
