Mobile-based motorized cutter mechanism for palm oil fresh fruit bunch harvesting

Malaysia is the second-largest producer and exporter of palm oil after Indonesia. However, Malaysia's palm oil plantation is currently facing a labour shortage problem because a lot of foreign workers are going back to their country. The purpose of developing the motorized cutter mechanism for...

This research aims to improve the oil palm fruit harvesting method using a motorized cutter on a mobile cart. By adding a mechanism to hold the motorized cutter, the position of the Cantas’ sickle can be controlled by linear actuators and the mechanism is attached to the motorized trolley cart. The mechanism can provide 3 degrees of freedom to the user. Hence, the harvester can control Cantas’ position easily. The mechanism design is drawn using Solidworks software and the bill of materials is estimated from it. The prototype is built and tested in the lab and actual palm tree to get the performance data of the harvesting mechanism. 2022 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed Mohd.
