The machine is introduced in sri lanka by Pubudu Kapuge (INVENTOR) . It has successfully completed its trial run using prototype design
The ridge plastering is a tractor attached implement that will build new bunds,field ridges and also strengthen the existing bunds,field ridges at high speed while making them stronger and aesthetically much better. It is suitable for both dry and wet conditions. Bund/ Ridge forming is a continuous and very important process in the preparation of the rice field before cultivation. The traditional manual bund,ridge forming work is characterized by low efficiency, low strength, high cost and directly affects the profitability of rice farming.
Manually, an average skilled person can trim and plaster 90-120m of bund per day. The cost at present is `3000Lkr per day in sri lanka. The Ridge plastering machine has an output of 900-1,000m/hr, which means trimming and plastering can be done withing few hours. The new machine, initially manufactured in Japan and Taiwan, is operated using PTO power of a 40-70hp tractor upon which it is mounted.but the problem is thease machine are not suitable for sri lankan cultivation due to variances of farming methodologies in the paddy field
This attachment weighs is about 390kg with overall dimensions of 1,600mm length, 1,7000mm width and 1,200mm height. The introductory price of the machine will be 7-8lakh.
Machine Operation
1.The wet soil(Mud) volume to be carried to the disc by means of rotary screw according to the soil condition and the qty.
2.Disc presses the filed by three directions, the oblique, the shoulder and the upper. Triple direction press makes the firm ridges which won’t be collapsed easily. The tighter ridges are available by the power of pushing and beating from the top and the side of the disc.
3.The roller diameter which contacts to the ridge surface is larger, so the velocity at the roller outside becomes faster, so the stronger power will be loaded on the ridges, and makes the surface firmer ridges.
