Bandoleer Feeding Mechanism for an Automated Onion Transplanter
Abstract
A mechanism has been designed to separate individual onion transplant cells from a continous polyethylene bandoleer belt using a series of 19 gauge, nichrome resistance wires mounted on an eight inch aluminum disc. The mechanism is capable of processing 800 plants per minute at a ground speed of three miles per hour.
