In agriculture & gardening, transplanting is the technique of moving a plant from a location to another. Most often this takes the form of starting a plant from seed in optimal conditions, such as in a greenhouse then replanting it in another location.

2. “ TREE TRANSPLANTING MACHINE”

3. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Digging
Moving
Transplanting or Replanting is the technique of moving a plant from one
location to another where it is better suited to resist the problem such as cutting
of trees during road , buildings and industries construction and to harmonize
urban development & landscape with human needs . It is based on Pascal law
which states “confined liquid transmits pressure intensity equally in all direction
“. Transplanting consisting with 3 major process
Which are digging , moving and planting etc.
Replanting

4. NEED to transplant:
• Move trees from one site to another where it is better suited.
• Save Trees from construction/road
• To harmonize urban development & landscape with human
needs.
• Protect trees from deforestation when lands are cleared for
industrial development
Importance of Tree Transplant Machine
•Useful and valuable in saving the trees by way of
transplanting to other location.
•Useful in developing public awareness for conservation of
trees.
•With the blend of this technology, tree conservation can be
coupled with the development process.

5. Model of Tree Transplantation Hydraulic Machine

6. Design of Prototype
Due to cost and availability hydraulic pump and piston are too costly and
rarely available. And as we want to put our idea in the real life scenario we
using medical syringe as hydraulic piston. As these are exact analogs to
original pump and piston so we can use it as engineering prototype

10. How We Made

11. How It Work

12. Materials Used in Prototype
1. Foam Board
2. Jigsaw
3. Screw
4. Nut Bolt
5. Syringes 12ml
6. Hoses
7. DC Motor
8. Gears
9. Electrical Wire
10. DPDT Switch
11. Liquid ( Water )

13. COMPONENTS OF PATTERN
 DRIVE MOTOR SELECTION
• 5 DC Motors having 12 Volts is
used in which 2 is used to drive
independent wheels , 2 for
controlling arms & 1 for gears .
• This Model of Hydraulic machine
is designed to digging the soil and
lift the tree for transplanting thus
We using a 30 rpm and 10rpm
12V DC motor.

14. Syringes
• A syringe is a
simple pump consisting of a
plunger that fits tightly in a
tube.
• 4 syringes are used to drive the
spades .
Gears
• 2 Horizontal and 1 vertical gears
are used

15. WHEEL DESIGN
Plastic wheels with rubber
treads for light weight and
cost effectiveness.
 Rubber treads will be used
to increase traction between
ground and wheels.
4 wheels of 70mm will be
used.
Hoses
 A hollow tube designed to
carry fluids from one location to
another is used .

16. Foam Board
Foam board, also
known as foam core ,is a
backing material used
for framing the parts .
 Screw & Nut Bolt
 A nut is a type of fastener with
a threaded hole
 24 no,s are used .

17.  DPDT switch , rainbow
wire and PCB
• Control of the machine will be
manual with the help of a
joystick for driving & controlling
each wheels and arm of the
machine separately.
• Components of the controlling
circuit are PCB ( Printed Circuit
Board ), DPDT switches, Wires
etc.

18. Working : Moving and Transplanting Trees
• Prepared site by tilling the soil and
raking it smooth.
• Dug hole to receive new tree.
• Proper size of tree spade - Hole will
accommodate the a root ball
substantial enough to support the
tree.

19. • The operator controls the spade
from the truck.
• Hydraulic supports provide a stable
foundation and prevents the spade
from tipping over.
• The spade blades are inserted into
the soil.

20. • The blades are closed together to
contain the soil ball.
• The tree spade is now used to dig
the tree.

21. • The blades are positioned around
the tree to insure the root ball is an
equal distance on all sides of the
trunk.
• The frame and rear blades are
driven down hydraulically into the
soil.
• Each of the blades is moved several
inches at one time until they are all
as deep as possible.
• The blades are closed, tree is
removed, root ball intact

22. • Adjusts the tree spade for safe
transport. Depending on the
species of the tree , the travel
distance,
• For highway transport, a special
"diaper" is used to cover the spades
to prevent soil loss.
• The operator does some root
trimming/pruning.

23. • The tree is lowered into the ground
• The operator now take over the
truck with the tree to the new
hole.

24. • Once the transplanting operation is
complete, the tree needs to provide
support until the roots become
established.
• Removed the blades and plant the
tree
• If it is planted to shallow, roots
may be damaged by temperature
fluctuations and lack of soil
moisture.
• Planting it too deeply will cause
girdling problems.

25. • The wires are attached to metal
stakes which are set in the ground
in a triangle to support the tree
evenly.
• Use wire to support the tree to
cushion the tree limbs and prevent
girdling.

26. • Wooden dowel or screwdriver is
inserted between the two wires
and twisted to tighten the wire, to
support it evenly.
• Root ball should be flooded with
water during this process.
• Staking method also allows the
wires to be loosened and eventually
removed as the root system
becomes established.

27. • After the tree is staked, continue to
water the root ball slowly and
thoroughly, allowing for the water
to penetrate the soil ball and
surround soil
• Newly planted trees should be
watered regularly and the root ball
should be saturated to a depth of
12".
• The staking should be removed as
soon as the tree is well-rooted.

28. Best practices for safe transplanting
•Create a favourable soil environment
• Transplant when it’s damp/cool
•Avoid root disturbance
•Don’t let roots dry out
•Be gentle with the roots when untangling root-bound mats
•Transplant to the right depth
•Make sure that only one plant from the original container gets
transplanted to the new pot/garden space
•If there are more, snip all but the healthiest one off at the soil line

29. Advantages :
•Move from one site to another better suited.
•Harmonize urban development & landscape with human needs to
save it from constructions/ roads.
•Protect trees from deforestation when lands are cleared for
industrial development.
•There are a lot of tree service providers who are known for the
best environment preservation help.
•They serve a variety of clients directed to plant health care and
planting.
