Drill automated rubber tapper dart is a drill powered rubber tree tapping machine.
Automatic rubber tree tapping machine project.
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.
A highly skilled labour needs about 40 seconds to tap a tree whereas the machine could do it in 20 30 seconds.
An incision is made in the bark of a rubber tree which cuts through the planting cycle to optimise the latex yield.
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.
The automated rubber tapering machine is fixed to the rubber tree and the device operation is performed.
By a process called rubber tapping we obtain rubber latex from tree.
Rubber tapping is the process by which the sap rubber is gathered.
The results were up to the expectations.
Every day workers scrapes away the caked latex and a thin layer of bark in the early morning.
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.
Automatic rubber tapping system arts automatic tapping machine or arts is an automatic latex harvester attached to the tree with the concept of bark incision.
The proposed machine is fabricated and tested on the tree.
It s an agricultural automation project.
Here a helical cut is made in the tree approximately four feet from the ground and circling about half the tree.
It is portable labor saving time saving and set the limit.
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.
