Development of Portable Sugarcane Harvester

Abstract

Abstract The present study is focused on development of sugarcane harvester with less manufacturing cost. Now-a-days, the fast production of agriculture product is needed even though the labour demand increased. In this work, the portable sugarcane harvesting machine is designed instead of manual machine which can cut the two sides from the upper and lower portion of sugarcane. The height of the upper blade is adjustable which is completely with electrical motor. This machine will reduce the harvesting time and labour fatigue efforts with increased productivity to all class farmers. Comparing with manual harvesting only 10% of labour is required for entire operation. Also, it reduces the labour cost with faster process. The machine is used by maximum number of farmers and overcome the labour shortage problem with increased productivity. This work is designed for two important sustainable development goal which are responsible and consumption production industry innovation and infrastructure.
