Design and Fabrication of Areca-nut Tree Climbing, Plucking and Spraying Machine

Abstract

The individuals in rustic zones of Karnataka are principally rely upon agribusiness for their occupation. Areca-nut is the principle crop. For reaping the nuts and for showering and applying bug sprays on the crown, talented works need to climb physically up the tree. Such a cycle looks simple, however in all actuality it is arduous and risky undertaking since there is shortage in such gifted works. Therefore to solve this problem, we are proposing a project by designing and fabricating a machine. It consists of a plucking mechanism, a tree climbing mechanism and a spraying device. All these three operations can be done by incorporating them in a single machine and hence this problem can be solved in an efficient and ergonomic way.
