Collector Seed Oil is a tool designed to

collect loose oil palm seeds from the

bunch when it falls from the tree.
This tool is able to expedite the work of

collecting seed oil.

The farm workers usually collect these

nuts are loose with the hands and there

is also the use of trap.

Collection of seed oil using the manual

method
(hand and Trap).
Using a lot of time.
Causing harm to farm workers.

Current methods used to collect loose

fruit is the way in which user content is

also garbage collected is more than 50%
of the capacity of 0.8 - 1.0 kg per minute.

To produce a tool that can collect the

nuts loose from the bunch on the

ground.

Create a tool to collect the nuts loose

with a reduced content of impurities in

the collection.

Creating a device used to collect loose

oil palm fruits using simple production

costs compared to existing machines on
the market.

Create a tool to collect loose oil palm

seeds by using simple mechanical

principles.

Creating a palm seed collecting

device that does not pollute the

environment than existing machines.

The target of this project is for the

workers in Oil Palm Plantations.

DISCUSSING SESSION

To discuss about producing the

project, facing the problems and to

divide the task among each
members

DESIGN

Sketching, imagine, movement and

specification of dimension with

AUTOCAD and SOLIDWORKS software

 MEASURING
Measure the material that use in this

project, before making the cutting

process

 CUTTING
All material was cut into the sizes

DRILLING MATERIAL
Drilling process is perform to joint the body part

to the aluminum rod

ASSEMBLY PROCESS.
To assemble all the relevant components.
Among the key components that need to

be installed is the installation of the

bearing pads that had been welded mild
steel with Stainless steel rod into the
cage.

 FINISHING

Make a finishing on Flat Bar

Welded parts painted with 'Acid

Cleaning'

 TESTING AND FINISHING

The finishing process is done to make the tool

more attractive and the tool safe to use.

When the project is done, we do the finishing

by testing the bearing and cage.

1. This tool is controlled by 100% manual

method.
2. This tool is used to hold the aluminum roll

cage, and then towards the seed oil by

applying a little stress.
3. When under pressure, the blade touch cage

nuts will stretch and open space.

4. The open space will allow seed oil into the

cage.

5.

Open space will be closed again

cause the seeds found in the cage
will not come out.

6.

This process is performed to meet

the seed cages.

7.

Seed oil which has been fully

released later in the hole to the side

of the cage were collected.
