Abstract

Since the last decade, the global demand for vegetables oil has been growing strongly due to increases in oil consumption and global population. Malaysia has focused on this oil palm industry since the last three decades because it is the major source of sustainable and renewable raw material for the food, oleo-chemical, and biofuel industries. Nowadays, the problem that arises is the Fresh Fruit Brunches (FFB) is bruised due to the impact to the ground during process of harvesting, collecting and transporting. Other than that, the scattered loose fruits on the ground also one of the problems which need to be collected and send it to the collection station. With this Combined Harvester Machine which is equipped with chute and loader system, it will minimize the FFBs from bruised as it fall to the chute and direct go to the dumper of the machine. Furthermore, the scattered loose fruits on the ground can be loaded on the dumper of the machine as well. This thesis work purpose is to design the chute and loader system for a farming vehicle. A farming vehicle known as Combined Harvester Machine consists of eight several main parts which chute and loader system is one of it. Based on the conceptual design, the chute and loader are decided to draw in CATIA software. There are some criteria need to be taken consideration for the chute and loader system before employ it into the Combined Harvester Machine. In conclusion, the chute and loader system of the Combined Harvester Machine could improve and maintain the quality of FFBs before the next process take places in Mills of Oil Palm (MOP).
