DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF FERTILIZATION OF SEED

SPRAYER USING SOLAR SYSTEM

SYNOPSIS:

The fabrication of solar operated seed/fertilizer sprayer is a new

innovative model which is mainly used to spraying the seed or fertilizer. The
power we are taking from motor to sprayer. The system consists of spray
cylinder, pulley and bevel gear arrangement. Pulley transfer the power from
motor to bevel gear arrangement which is rotates the sprayer blade in
cultivating land.

In the agriculture field, we will be spraying the seeds in order to have

good harvest of the particular plant. We are spraying the above mentioned
things by charging the battery with the help of electrical power supply & by
other means. This project is very useful in agriculture field to reduce the
time of work and easy way to implement this process. This project is
designed by following blocks Solar panel, Battery, Charging circuit and fan.
PROJECT LAYOUT:
WORKING PRINCIPLE:

In our project, we are going to use the cheapest method by trapping

the solar energy. The trapped solar energy is used to charge the battery for
spraying the particular items to the agriculture field. We have designed and
developed a system called solar seed sprayer.

It is simple construction, made by our mechanical model, in this

model we have used on bevel gear arrangement for rotate the sprayer blade
in high speed. Seed Sprayer blade is coupled with the bevel gear which is
connected with the pulley which transfers the power from motor. When the
engine is started the blade starts to rotate.

Due to the pressurized air released through the blade the sprayer starts
to spray the seeds from the hopper. The system consists of solar panel,
charging unit, Battery, sprayer fan. The solar panel delivers an output in the
order of 12 volts and 10 watts’ power to the charging unit. As the power
from the battery operates the fan the seeds can be sprayed all the way
through. The funnel is provided to drop the seeds.

MERITS:

 Low cost
 Easy construction
 Easy to operate
 Less maintenance
 Cheapest method
 Usage of solar energy
 Low power consumption
 Available source
 Simple and hand efficient
  Less expensive
 Reduced man power

DEMERIT:

Solar power is not available at night time.

APPLICATIONS:

It can be used by all farmers such that they avoid diesel sprayers and
without any maintenance cost, they can use it.
