MECHANIZED HARVESTING OF OIL PALM FFB
ABSTRACT
it is about efficiency of agriculture mechanization in oil palm sector
example: FFB harvester machine
vibration weight, less height, low productivity and time consuming is factor that effect efficiency of machine
objective: to overcome all factor that affect the efficiency by create new machine
develop a new machine to achieve optimum yield, safe, time saving and machine that have resistant for heavy duty
INTRODUCTION
agricultural mechanization is main factor to improve quality and quantity of production
it applies engineering principle to minimize labour dependence thus reduce health and physical risk
enhancing mechanization can lessen labour requirement, enhance productivity and improve worker safety
oil palm planted area increase more 150% in last few decades
rapid expansion of planted are make a total world production in 17200 metric tonne in 2014
harvesting must be sustain to increase palm oil production
total planted area of oil palm in Malaysia is 5 million ha
Malaysia economy increase from USD 8.2 million to USD 29.8 million in 2014
for the last 3 decade, many harvesting machine has been develop by MPOB,FELDA and Malaysia universities
this study present technlogies, obstatcle, the criteria of sucess for mechanical harvesting
criteria: lightweight, wide maneuverability, high productivity, large reach range in the vertical and horizontal direction, safe & confortable use
AGRICULTURAL ELEMENT TO PRODUCE FFB OF OIL PALM
MANAGER FOR OPERATION PROCESS
owner of plantation: farmers or worker
investor(company or institution : worker)
PRODUCTION ENVIROMENT (PLANTATION)
source of agriculture production : animal and plant
soil: peat soil &coherent soil
water:rain and irrigation
weather : light,heat,humidity
PRODUCTION TOOLS (EQUIPMENT)
MANUAL IMPLEMENT
tillage and land reclamation implement
harvesting and collecting tool
sowing and crop servicing implement
transportation implement
MACHINE EQUIPMENT
tillage and reclamation implement
harvesting equipment
collecting and transportation equipment
sowing and crop servicing equipment
THE NEED FOR MECHANICAL HARVESTING OF FFB
OBJECTIVE
to increase palm oil production
to reduce the cost of production
to reduce or remove physical work stress associated with : cultivation, harvesting, processing & storage
to solve increasingly acute shortage of labour in plantation and production sector
