Seed metering mechanism is the core functional component of any planter. A new seed metering mechanism was developed for round seeds with the cell design termed 'Anjul' aimed to eliminate seed damage and obtain better seed singulation of seeds while metering. The 3D model of the cell and its housing was prepared in design softwareSketch Up. It composed of two semi-circular split seed metering rollers mounted on a mild steel circular flange and a seed box with feeding chute. The seed metering roller was fabricated from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer with the help of a 3D printer. It was tested in sand bed test for its seed distribution characteristics. The accuracy of seed placement was tested for okra seeds. | Design of 'Anjul' seed metering mechanism for round seeds and its seed pattern characteristics
