Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of different set of number of blades per flange of a rotary puddler under the controlled soil bin conditions. It was found that by using six number of blades (B2) per flange of rotary puddler, 84.43 per cent puddling index (PI), 110.90 Newton horizontal force (Fh), 35.60 Newton vertical force (Fv), 9.90 MJ/m x 10.03 specific energy (Es) and 8.49 percent performance index (PEl) were achieved under controlled soil bin. This was better than the four number (Bl)and Eight number (B3) of blades per flange of rotary puddler.
