Abstract

In many agriculture works worldwide, the need to keep up with production demands is becoming a necessity. However, there are some factors, which play a role in preventing the current agriculture processing machinery to synchronize with the fluctuating production demands. Regardless of these factors, many researches are creating new innovative designs that will deal with these factors effectively. The purpose of this thesis is to present a conceptual design of a mini plant for processing of compost fertilizer from dried leaves for large-scale production that will be used by the small farmers in the agricultural field. The research explores for the machine of the current literature and design approaches used to develop a conceptual design of mini plant for processing of compost fertilizer from dried leaves. This thesis also provides detailed methodologies to be used for concept selection, detail design, structural analysis and part simulation of the machine. The parts design, analysis and simulation are done by using CATIA V5R21 software and ANSYS software. The result of the static analysis, which is to find the bending total deformation, equivalent stress and factor safety at the analyzed parts. The results for the factor of safety is quite large because the compost fertilizer mini plant need to withstand high load. Besides that, some calculation are presented to show the bending moment diagram, sprocket ratio, sprocket torque, and shafts speed in the prototype. Moreover, a cost analysis for this product is calculated to get the exact selling price if the product managed to get into the market. Lastly, the thesis is concluded and some recommendations have been suggested for further studies on this project.
