With the advancement of science and the increase in population, the human need for food has also increased. In recent years, changes have occurred in the agricultural industry in order to mass produce food. Following these changes, the share of agricultural tools and equipment has increased significantly in the process of planting and harvesting. Agricultural tools include tools and equipment that are used to perform and facilitate agricultural processes and are generally divided into categories such as mechanical equipment, agricultural machinery, piping and hand tools. In the following, we will discuss each of the industrial equipment in agriculture and their application.
Manual agricultural equipment
The tools that gardeners or farmers use manually are called manual agricultural tools. Sprayers, all kinds of shovels and shovels, gardening shears, lawn mowers and hand saws, water sprinklers and all kinds of hoses are among the manual equipment used in agriculture.
Mechanical equipment used in agriculture
Water pump can be mentioned among other agricultural tools. In general, a pump is a device that receives energy from a source and converts it into mechanical energy needed for pumping fluid. In agricultural pumps, energy is provided by electricity or fossil fuels.
Pumps are industrial equipment in agriculture, which are divided into centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, skimmers and sludge pumps based on their type of application and performance:
Centrifugal pumps Centrifugal pumps are generally used for pumping water from surface or shallow sources in pipelines and irrigation. This type of pump is one of the most common agricultural equipment for water transfer. Floor cleaner The submersible pump is used to drain wells and transfer water from ponds and pools for agricultural purposes. The function of this equipment is similar to centrifugal pumps and it is also used in other cases such as draining water from the lower floor of the building. Submersible pump If there is a need to pump fluid from the depth, floating pumps are used. The design of this category of equipment is such that it can be immersed in the fluid and with the vertical centrifugal function, it provides the possibility of moving and transferring liquids from the wells. Sludge A sludge pump is a device that is used to transfer fluids and fluids containing solid particles, including sewage. This type of pump is used in agriculture to transfer water from wells, especially in cases where the fluid contains sand. Sludge pumps are a series of centrifugal pumps and are available in the market in two manual and automatic models.
