How about mechanized sweet potato harvesting? Mechanized sweet potato harvesting, vine removal, simple and efficient excavation
The traditional sweet potato (sweet potato) harvest is very labor-intensive, and the imported sweet potato harvester has many shortcomings. The Taoyuan Agricultural improvement Farm has developed a "rattan-removing harvester". The model is smaller than the imported sweet potato harvester and costs less than half of it, and the speed is 60 to 80 times faster than manual harvesting. At present, it has been transferred to the industry through non-exclusive authorized technology for production and sales.
According to the statistics of the Council of Agriculture, in 106, the planting area of sweet potato reached more than 1310 hectares, and the producing areas were concentrated in Yunlin County, Changhua County and Tainan City. If it is a waste of manpower to plant or harvest sweet potatoes in the traditional way, including artificial cuttings, farmers are required to carry hoes to the vines before they can be harvested later.
The degree of mechanization of sweet potato in Taiwan is not high.
Qiu Yinzhen, an associate researcher at Taoyuan Farm, says that because most of Taiwan's sweet potatoes are not planted in large areas, sweet potatoes are not resistant to storage, they may sprout after a large number of harvests, and machines are too expensive, which is not conducive to promoting mechanized farming. It is estimated that the degree of mechanized cultivation of sweet potatoes in Taiwan is less than 50%, and most of them still rely on manual labor.
The speed of sweet potato rattan harvesting machine is fast.
Qiu Yinzhen said that in fact, there were imported sweet potato harvester in the past. In addition to the relatively high price, it also broke the skin of sweet potato during harvest, affecting the price of sweet potato, the speed was very slow, and the larger equipment was not easy to get in and out of farmland. It is necessary to remove the rattan manually before working. The rattan harvester developed by Taoyuan Farm combines the two procedures of rattan removal and harvesting, which is at least 30 times faster than the imported harvester. He described it as "like a rabbit and a snail".
