Abstract

A project on the feasibility design and fabrication of pineapple planter was conducted to replace the manual method of pineapple in field operations. Increasing of the soil depth and texture will result in longer time for planting due to the manual method using lot of energy and needs time to dig the ground. The factors considered in developing the pineapple planter are the demand of the user especially for the workers to make a hole and planting the pineapple shoot both in the same time. The length and size of the pineapple planter is 841 mm x 80mm (height and diameter) is to reduce low-back pain of workers for planting the pineapple seeds. Every worker is estimated to be given 32m x 16m area per day for planting depending on the weather and soil condition. This project is done by designing the tools in free-hand sketches, 2D drawing and 3D modeling. The model is then fabricated in the workshop and data is collected for analyzed.
