Fertilizer Tablet Making Machine

Mechanical Engineering

In India most of farmer use chemical fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides and irrigation to obtain higher productivity. Indian farmers having common practices to use fertilizers. Farmers use conventional method to supply fertilizers to crops, in this method of fertilizer supplying there is difficulty in proper distribution fertilizer to crops. Due to this method farmers not only applying fertilizers in excess quantity but also fertilizers loss due to over irrigation. The fertilizers use is imbalanced and uncontrolled due to which farms become salt affected, less fertile and losses of fertilizers takes place. Therefore it is necessary to maintain balance between uses of fertilizers to overcome losses of fertilizer and improve soil fertility. To overcome above problem, develop fertilizer tablet making machine. The object of this project is to develop fertilizer tablet making machine. For developing fertilizer tablet making machine, a literature review has been done and basic parameters required for development has been studied. The design of machine parts such as hopper, pocket roller, gears, belts, shafts and bearings is done then these parts are fabricate. Then assembly of these parts and experimentation is done for obtaining fertilizer tablet. The designed machine having capacity to produce fertilizer tablet of 130 kg/hour.
