2. FFB Transporter Currently using manual carrier (rickshaw)
Power rickshaw has been designed, but not operational yet
Still depending of human power

3. Mechanize Trasporter Carrying capacity is too big
Ground pressure is relatively high, appropriate only for mineral soil
Un-appropriate to work at terrace plot

4. First Generation FFB Transporter
Equiped with 6 HP Diesel Engine
Manual unloading
Carriying capacity : 400 kg
Wooden track
Low ground pressure

5. Second Gerneration FFB Transporter
Diesel Engine 10 HP
Steel Track
Buldozer Type Steering Handle
Low Ground Pressure
Hydraulic unloading
Riding Type
Automatic Starter
Best for Rolling Land

6. Fertilizer Application
Current Practices:
Manual:
No guarantee that fertilizer put on the right places with appropriate dose
Mechanize:
Un-efficience application

7. Fertilizer Application
Field Condition:
Narrow Terrace bench
Track covered by branches
80 – 110 cm
250 – 340 cm
40+100 cm

8. New Designed FA Carrier for immature plant
Track type with low ground pressure (< 98 kPa)
Diesel Engine 12 HP
Transmition: 4 speed forward and 2 speed backward
Equiped with leaf and branches lifter

9. New Fertilizer Applicator
Automatic pneumatic type broadcaster
Precission fertilizer placement
Ability to work on terrace
Low ground pressure

16. FFB Automatic Counting System
Operaste by
two operators
Camera installed
on Monopod
Recorded pictures
on tablet PC
Camera on duty
Field Tert Result:
Wireless picture capturing
Data saved both in camera and tablet
Very good picture quality
Good GPS performances
Operated by two operators
GPS coordinate on Tablet PC
Recorded Image

17. Image Processing Process Ilustration

18. FFB Harvester Manually done Heavy and dangerous work Need skill labor
Decreasing number of workers who interested in this job

19. FFB Harvester Still need alot of Improvement such as:
Maturity Detector
Harvester Arm
Cutting Mechanism
FFB Handling
Sluggish movement of carrier

20. CPO Fuel Engine Testing on Tractor Objectives:
Using 100% CPO directly as fuel
Technology:
Engine modification

21. Water Infusion Technology
Objectives:
Increasing fuel efficiency
Increasing torque
Increasing BHP
Increasing engine respons
Decreasing polution

22. TEST RESULTS ON NISSAN SD16 DIESEL ENGINE
Brake Horse Power
Torque
Fuel Consumption
The first generation Efficiency :
Torque : 2.85%.
BHP : 3.07%.
Fuel Consumtion : 2.70%.
Last generation has been developed and refined so as to save fuel up to 30%

23. Electrical Power Multiplier Machine ?
