Hello,

Can you please tell me is there any machines for arekanuts cultivation and other procedures..so that we can reduce the man power...
 

Hello Sir,

Are you looking for machine for harvesting or cultivation??? Please be clear. 59-year-old Prakasan Thatteri of Kozhikode, Kerala has developed with a successful mechanised harvesting device. With the help of a pulley and rope, this device can be made to climb the tree and do most of the hard work associated with the harvesting of the particular crop. The biggest advantage of the device is that it rules out the requirement of a person climbing the tree to perform the operations needed. Weighing 6.5 kilograms, it is also easy to lift and carry anywhere on one's shoulders. Its called the wonder climber.

The device can be fitted to any areca nut tree with the help of two 'U' clamps. Once it has been fixed, the rope may be pulled to get the climber up, where it is needed. Once it reaches the tree top, the blade location has to be adjusted by pulling the rope in the necessary direction. A forceful downward pull after this makes the blade jump up and cut the areca bunch instantly. If there is another bunch ready to harvest, the blade has to be relocated and the process repeated.
