Design and Fabrication of Sugarcane Bud

Cutting Machine
 AIM
• The main aim of the project is to design and
fabricate a sugarcane bud cutting machine
which can allow the farmer to separate the
sugarcane bud in a form which can be utilized
for sugarcane plantation, with ease and thus
reducing the manual work of farmer and
increases the production and to minimize the
wastage of stalk part.
 ABSTRACT
• In today's world, sugarcane accounts for 80% of sugar
produced worldwide.
• Agriculture is one of the most significant sectors of the
Indian Economy.
• In sugarcane inter node cutting operation, sugarcane is
cut at its nodal part in small pieces and bud is
separated from the sugarcane for seedling purpose.
• These bud chips are less bulky, easily transportable and
more economical seed material. The left-over cane can
be well utilized for preparing juice or sugar or jiggery.
 NEED OF PROJECT
• It is used to chipout the bud from sugarcane for
saving purpose and for tissue culture.
• The sugarcane industries just borrow the
sugarcane stalks as a whole from the farmers who
actually grows it and is further processed in a
conventional sugar processing machine without
actually separating the planting material it’s known
as Bud (which acts as a seed), thus wasting it by
crushing it or maybe in some other ways .
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
• It has been observed in rural areas most of the
people cut the sugarcane buds manually.
• This consumes a lot of sugar cane and time to cut
the buds also.
• In order to identify this cause we have designed
and fabricated the sugar cane bud chipping
machine which works on electricity.
• It will prove one of the good ideas for the
farmers.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

Figure. Working Principle of Sugarcane Bud Cutting Machine .

 METHEDOLOGY
• Change Manual Method in to Automatic – By
using appropriate capacity of single phase
motor, gearbox which will reduce wastage and
increase productivity as it will reduce strain on
hands of worker and more emphasis on safety
of operator.
• New cutting technology – The research work
in this domain was studied and new methods
were developed to achieve desired goal.
• Single phase operation – The power supplied
to machine is single phase so to make it easy
to operate at any location.
 EXPECTED OUTCOME
• The outcome of the fabricated machine is to
separate the buds from the sugarcane stalk.
• the time consuming related to cutting
operation is also reduced.
• The cost of sugarcane bud chipping machine is
reduced by 68% when compared to available
machines, so that small farmers can afford this
easily
Farm Mechanization by using Seed Planting
Machine
 ABSTRACT

• In the agricultural field, seed planting

operation is very time consuming in farming
process. Also more labours are required for
seed planting. Hence the total cost of the
farming increases. The conventional seed
sowing machines requires more seed and
quantity of seed per unit area increases and
this affects the yield.
 PROBLEM DEFINATION

• The first step is to go to the farmers and find

the problems faced by them.
• Then choose a problem & to collection of data
regarding the seed sowing and planting by
farmer interview and literature.
• After the field visits and literature review we
are concluded to work on seed planter machine
which nullify the previous machines drawbacks.
 EXPECTED OUTCOME
• seed planter machine are to put seeds at
desired depth with constant seed spacing and
covering the seed with soil.
• This machine is suitable for planting seed in
ridge and furrow method, flat arrow method,
flat bed method as well as multi cropping.
• This machine is to reduce human effort and
back ache of farmers.
