The Small-farm Fertilizer Spreader (SFS) is a machine that spreads fertilizer evenly on crops. It is designed for small scale agriculture and has a load apacity of up to 200kg per cycle. SFS increases productivity of manuring activity bu 2-3 times from manual manuring. It has good commercial potential due to the large number of smallholders in Malaysia involved in agriculture inustry. SFS is cost-effective and improves the performance, reduce time consumption as well as lower labour cost in fertilisation activities.
The smallholder farmers in malaysia who are involved in agriculture need a cost-effective and efficient way to fertilize their crops without compromising on quality. The current method of manual manuring is time-consuming and labour-intensive.
1) Even Fertilizer Distribution
The SFS's rotating machine at the bottom of the tank is designed to scatter fertilizer granules evenly, improvingcrop yields and reducing wastage. The machine's design allows for controlled dispensing of fertilizer, ensuring that it is distributed evenly across the crops.
2) Twin Engines For Versatility
The twin engines of the SFS make it a versatile and reliable machine for fertilisation purposes. It is capable of handling a wide range of fertilizers and can be used for different crops. The second engine only needs to be used when a larger area needs to be recovered.
3) Adjustable Spreading Blower
The SFS's adjustable spreading blower is a key feature that allows farmers to customize the machine for different crop types. By adjusting the blower, farmers can ensure that the fertilizer is spread evenly and in the correct quantity. This feature is particularly useful for small-scale farmers who grow different crops and need a flexible machine to meet their fertilisation needs.
The SFS is diis different from other solutions on the market as it is designed for small-scale agriculture and utilises local materials, making it cost-effective and sustainable. It also increases the productivity of manuring activity by 2-3 times from manual manuring.
