5. What is design …
Why it is necessary…..
A Design is a visual look or a shape given to a certain object, in
order to make it more attractive, make it more comfortable or to
improve another engineering characteristic.
OR
Design is also a concept used to create an object (virtual or not).
WHY DESIGN IS NECESSARY
A DESIGN is not which makes the things attractive. Its is a problem
solver.

6. Farm machinery design involves
– Predicting failure
– Analysis
– Selection of most promising solution for more
detailed analysis.
– Detailed design
– Prototyping and testing
– Iteration

Sharma and S. Mukesh

7. Design parameters of farm
machinery
1. Power requirement of machine and source of
power availability.
2. Functional requirements of machine and its
interrelationship of various components
3. Optimum expected life of the machine: 2000
hours.
4. Strength requirements of its various
components.
5. Material selection based on force analysis &
availability in the local market
6. Wear characteristics of various components
7. Ease of operation of various components of a
machine.
8. Reliability of components and the machine.

8. 9. Possibility of designing a multipurpose machine
combining more than one function into a single
machine.
10. Cost of machine and farmer’s paying capacity.
11. Ease of operation, adjustment, maintainability.
12. Safety aspects.
13. Human factors in design.
14. Aesthetic appeal and durability of the machine.
15. Suggestions and feedbacks from the users.
16. Other competitive product in the market.

9. Economic Considerations
Acc. To Consumer i.e.
Farmers
 Company name
 Optimum cost
 Repair &
maintenance
 LIFE OF MACHINE
i.e. 2000 hours
Acc. To Manufacturer
Availability and cost of
raw material.
To minimize product
costs
Capital Investment
What consumer
needs…

10. Procedure for design and
development of machinery
systems.
PROBLEM: Currently, the anola pricking is being carried out primarily by hand
methods. Fruits are small and the process is slow resulting in high cost.
Mechanical machines are not available.
STEP 1 : UNDERSTAND
THE PROBLEM
•Pricking process is slow
•High cost of operation
•Develop a machine to
mechanically pick the
anola fruits
Reference Farm Machinery Design (Principles and Problems) Authors: D.N. Sharma
and S. Mukesh
STEP2 : Gather
Information & ANALYSE
• Observe the physical
properties of anola i.e.
shape, size &dimensions
•Observe the mechanical
properties like force required
for proper pricking the fruit
STEP 3: SELECT the
best solution AND
DEVELOP DETAILS
•Includes the
configuration and
dimensions of machine
according to the fruit
properties

and S. Mukesh
STEP 4: Test the
solution
• Include trail test and
demonstration of
developed tool
•Observe the test and
do modification
STEP 5: Finished
Design
•Finalize and take in
work of newly
developed mechanical
anola pickring machine.
•If still have any
problem in model than
again follow the same
procedure for solution
