Abstract
This research aims to studying the physical and mechanical properties affecting the palm tree mechanical serves.Data of five farms in Giza, Ismailia,Wahat and The new Valley.Results indicated that the average height of the trunk was 12, 15, 3, 4 and 5 m for Giza(Amhaat),Ismailia(Hayani),Wahat El Bahariya(farms 3 (Sewi) and 4 (Magdool)) and Farafra (Sewi) farms respectively.The approximate diameter of the trunk ranged from 60 to 90 cm. The preparation time was 2 – 4(Traditional climbing),8 – 12 (Multi trees climber), 10 – 15(Hydraulic scissor)and 6 – 10 (Long ladders) min/palm tree for traditional climbing, multi trees climber, hydraulic scissor and long ladders respectively. The time of servicing was 10 – 25, 15 – 30, 15 – 30 and 20 – 35 min/palm tree for traditional climbing, multi trees climber, hydraulic scissor and long ladders respectively.The total operation time was 12 – 29, 23 – 42, 25 – 45 and 26 – 45 min/one palm for traditional climbing, multi trees climber, hydraulic scissor and long ladders respectively. The efficiency was 83 – 86, 65 – 71, 60 – 66 and 76 – 78 %for traditional climbing, multi trees climber, hydraulic scissor and long ladders respectively. The productivity ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 and from 0.3 to 0.75 hour/palm tree by using the traditional climbing and the multi trees climber respectively. While it ranged from 0.5 to 0.75 hour/tree when using the hydraulic scissor and the long ladder. The total cost of servicing the palm was 15 – 25, 20 – 40, 25 – 40 and 25 – 40 LE/tree for traditional climbing, multi trees climber, hydraulic scissor and long ladders respectively.
