Projeto da motorização de um pulverizador costal para aplicação em pequenas áreas

Abstract

This work brings a theoretical-practical solution to a need presented by an owner of a vegetable producing area located in the city of Chopinzinho, Paraná, where it was necessary to facilitate the spraying of pesticides in that area. Discuss the sanctuary of Brazilian agribusiness, as well as the importance of mechanization and ergonomics in rural work. Presents the concepts of planting and growing vegetables. Discuss spraying techniques and sprayer calibration and regulation. This work also brings the concept of power transmission by a chain. Presents the follow-up, the design, and the sprayer motorization project, with a traction system by means of an electric motor as a way to meet the need found in that garden, adapting an existing hand cart used to spray the area. As a result of the study, the success in manufacturing the traction system and carrying out the field tests of the prototype brought all the benefits sought initially, such: as less physical effort in the spraying task and regulation of the spraying of agricultural defensives.
