STRENGTH
• The device is made of metal so it have high
strength.
• The mild steel have a strength of 40 MPa.
• The GI pipe has a minimum yield strength of
50,000 psi.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
RELIABILITY
• The device has corrosion resistance ,it increases its life
span.
AESTHETICS
• it’s aesthetics can be improved by painting various
colours.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
ERGONOMICS
• This plant plucking device consist a simple
mechanism.
• Hold the plant stem in between the jaws.
• When we pull the lever stem will get tighten in
between the jaws.
• On Further pulling the lever the front portion
of the device get lift.
• Thus plant will get pluck from the soil.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
MAINTENANCE
• Corrective maintenance: The screws can be tighten
after continuous use , make it free from damage.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
SUSTAINABILITY
• Possible for recycling.
COST
• All the materials we collected from scrap , so the
material cost is around 50 rupees.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
ADVANTAGES
• Low cost
• Simple to construct
• Simple operation
