Problem Addressed

The problem addressed is the inefficiency and labour-intensive nature of traditional wood cutting methods, which require significant manual effort and time. Automating the wood cutting process aims to improve productivity, reduce physical strain, and enhance precision, making the task more efficient and cost-effective.

Technology

The innovator has used a part of the JCB compressor and built a machine to cut wood. The length of the bark to be put in the machine for cutting has to be 2-5 ft. in length. The breadth of the wood is no restriction. There are multiple versions of the machine, 3 HP, 5 HP, 7.5 HP, and 10 HP.

Societal Impact

Eases the manual labour required for wood cutting. It is most helpful for cutting wood required for funeral pyres in villages where most youngsters have left the village with only old age people living in the village.

Current status

10 machines have been sold till now. The 5 HP machine is priced at Rs. 190000/- and the 3 HP machine is priced at Rs. 190000/-
