Product Development Of A Fertilizer Dispensing Machine

The concept of this machine design is based on the current phenomenal of fertilization methods used in today's agricultural field. The amount of fertilizer required to fertilize the plants is the key element for the plant to grow healthy. Such equipment for the exact amount of fertilizer pallets to be dispensed is needed. The new machine dispenser design consists of a cup which can contain 20 grams of fertilizer pallets. The cup is attached to a mechanism below the storage tank, which a trigger is fabricated to perform the dispensing action of the fertilizer pallets. Hence, fertilizer pallets which had been dispensed travel through a flexible hose and into a metal pipe that is made to pierce the soil with ease so the fertilizer pallets can be dispensed easily into the soil. The end of the metal pipe consists of a cone like sharp pointy edge which helps agricultural workers to pierce the soil with ease. With the aid of this equipment, a single worker is able to fertilized 1 plot of pineapple plants within 8.3 hours only, hence minimizing the time required to perform fertilizing of the plants in the agricultural ecosystem and industry. Lightweight materials such as aluminum and plastic were used to construct the fertilizer storage compartment and the injector to minimize effort.
