Automatic Rubber Tree Tapping Machine Project

It s an agricultural automation project.

Automatic rubber tree tapping machine project. Drill automated rubber tapper dart is a drill powered rubber tree tapping machine. Show full abstract discusses about a low semi automatic rubber tree tapping machine sart which can be used by an unskilled labor to perform tapping on the rubber tree by preserving the tree. An incision is made in the bark of a rubber tree which cuts through the planting cycle to optimise the latex yield. The proposed machine is fabricated and tested on the tree.

So this paper discusses about a low semi automatic rubber tree tapping machine sart which can be used by an unskilled labor to perform tapping on the rubber tree by preserving the tree health. The results were up to the expectations. Here a helical cut is made in the tree approximately four feet from the ground and circling about half the tree. By a process called rubber tapping we obtain rubber latex from tree.

It is portable labor saving time saving and set the limit. For validating the concept a prototype is being developed and tested. For validating the concept a prototype is being developed and tested. The machine is capable to perform the tapping task automatically according to the programmed time.

This proposed machine is a battery powered tool with a specially designed cutting blade and guide mechanism supported by a sensory system which assists the operator to perform tapping of required quality and standards on all trees in a plantation. This proposed machine is a battery powered tool with a specially designed cutting blade and guide mechanism supported by a sensory system which assists the operator to perform tapping of required quality and standards on all trees in a plantation. Advance rubber tapping machine it can be seen that the usage of electric tapping machine greatly reduces the workload of tapping workers reducing the cost of planting rubber planting but also improve the rubber collection rate as it compared with the traditional human tapping knife. A highly skilled labour needs about 40 seconds to tap a tree whereas the machine could do it in 20 30 seconds.

Rubber tapping is the process by which the sap rubber is gathered.
