Design and manufacturing of fertilizer spreader machine

Abstract

Indian economy is based on agricultural products. In India, 58% of people are farmers. The most common crops planted by farmers are wheat, rice, corn oil crops, pulses millets, sugarcane, tea coffee, cotton and jute. India produces the majority of the world's sugarcane because of its expanding sugar demand. Our main aim is to reduce the farmer's effort in spreading fertilizer. This paper aims to reduce the human effort in spreading the chemical and dung manure fertilizer on the farm. The fertilizer is dropped through the metallic impeller disc, creating a means for applying chemical and dung manure fertilizer to fallow land. There are three layers to the product design: the top, middle, and bottom. Hopper is on the top level, an impeller disc is in the middle, and tires are on the bottom level. A frame and column support the whole design. The issue with manual fertilizer spreading equipment and the conventional method of fertilization has been resolved by this project. Due to its one-person operation, this machine fulfils the requirements of farmers who are struggling with the rising cost of fertilizer, labour costs, and unavailability of labour. This approach reduces the problems in the spreader models that are currently in use and cuts the time needed for conventional fertilizations by more than half. This approach has some drawbacks, including the inability to be employed in conditions of severe rainfall and when crops are taller than four feet.
