Marigold Flower Size Sorting Machine

Abstract

This research is conducted with the objective of designing and creating a marigold flower size sorting machine to solve the problem of marigold size sorting use reduce time for sorting sizes and reducing errors from sorting.          The marigold flower size sorting machine is designed with overall dimensions of approximately 1,211 x 2,450 x 1,546 millimeters. It consists of several key components, including machine structural kit, vibrator tray kit, conveyor and sorting kit, direction change kit, support tray kit, control unit, and so on. The test results of the marigold flower size sorting machine demonstrated its capability to efficiently sort 100 marigold flowers within a duration of 3 minutes, with a sorting error rate not exceeding 15%. Additionally, the machine exhibited precise counting accuracy, with an overcount error margin of up to 15% of the total flowers counted, aligning with the predefined objectives.
