Abstract

Grains like rice, wheat etc., after harvesting is spread up in an open area under the sunlight for the drying process. After drying, the grains must be collected, weighted, and filled manually in sacks by labour. This process requires lifting bulky grain-filled sacks repeatedly, which can be challenging for many people, injure their backs, and eventually result in lasting impairments. The key benefit of this idea is that it allows small farmers to ignore issues with labour availability and labour costs associated with gathering and storing it. Fabrication uses locally accessible materials like steel tubing. By moving the grain collector forward, the grains are collected through a hopper, and then it is lifted using the DC motor. When the hopper plate rotated by motor up to a certain angle, the grains are poured by hopper into the sack.
