Diseño y construcción de un apero para consechar papas en campos agrícolas

Abstract

For the execution of the technical project investigated the process of potato harvest semi-mechanized, which allows the use of a mechanical system coupled to the tractor to remove the potatoes and the labor conventional to collect the same, this way it determines the different alternatives for the design. Where is the selected implement disk type for harvesting potatoes, which is driven by the pto and engaged by the three points to the tractor, the same consists of a transmission per system Shaft, Disc plow of 26 inch, moldboard and a system of pulleys and bands. The specific parameters of parts and mechanical components, was designed taking into account the real working conditions of the implement and safety factors recommended by the entities such as ASTM-handbook. Completed with the design and construction of the implement is performs the operation tests, where it is noted that the potato harvest is done more quickly and with less number of staff so decreasing the production time by 50% in relation to the process of treaty is currently used in the agricultural fields.
