Design And Fabrication Of Rice Harvesting Machine

Abstract

Rice is one of the most important grain in India. It is the staple food of the people in the eastern and southern parts of the country.Currently in India small scale farmers still used conventional method for rice haevesting.  We designed the machine such that all three important process in rice harvesting are integrated in a single machine. This machine is more dedicated to the small scale farmers who have the land less than 2-3 acres. Cutting process is carried out by the trimmer like cutter which is operated on scotch yoke mechanism. All the cutter,conveyor,and thresher are motor operated & motor is driven by battery. This harvestor is that automates the harvesting process reduces the harvesting time & maximizes the efficiency also the labour problem is reduced largly.
