Land Preparation

 MICROTILLER 

• Portable. Lightweight and can be easily dismantled to facilitate transport in steep terrain
• Simple design. Utilizes parts that could be easily bought in local stores
• Efficient. Works well even in fields with knee-deep hard pans and long stubbles
• Fast. Works at least 24 times faster than the traditional method of foot trampling
  

RIDE-ON ATTACHMENT FOR HAND TRACTOR

• Can attach to any hand tractor model
• Easy and comfortable to operate; operator heart rate reduced by 10 pulse beats/min
• Increased utilization of hand tractor
• For plowing and harrow-leveling while riding
• Final harrowing and leveling done simultaneously

LABOY TILLER

• Portable. Lightweight and can be easily transported.
• Simple design. Utilizes parts that could be easily bought  in local stores
• Efficient. Works well even in fields with soft, deep, or very deep mud (”laboy” soil) and long stubbles.
• Fast. With an average capacity of 1ha/day in deep muddy field

Crop Establishment

 PLASTIC DRUMSEEDER

• Simple and low cost, and easy to fabricate using local materials
• Portable and lightweight
• Versatile, can be used for other crops
• Can be used both for upland and wetland seeding
• Rice grains seeded in straight rows, allowing mechanical weeding between rows
• Reduces seeding rate (20, 40, 60 kg/ha)
  
• Saves on labor

Water Harvesting

FLOATING PUMP

• Lightweight construction and portable that allows ease of transport and mobility
• Built from locally available parts and materials
• Harnesses open water sources such as creeks, streams, and open canals
  

RICE HUSK GASIFIER ENGINE SYSTEM

• Utilizes rice hull biomass as source of energy
• Sustainable and environment-friendly.
• Can be used for stationary shaft power application (water pumping, power generation, rice milling.
  

WIND PUMP IRRIGATION SYSTEM

• Environment-friendly. This clean technology does not use or burn fossil fuels.
• Efficient windmill design. Rotor will operate at wind speeds as low as 2 m/s.
• Versatile. Suitable for gravitational, drip or micro sprinkler irrigation of rice-based crops and for village water supply.
• Easy and safe to operate and maintain.

 

Harvesting

 PHILRICE-BRIGGS AND STRATTON RICE MINICOMBINE

• Suitable to the small paddy fields and for wet harvesting
• Combines harvesting, threshing, cleaning, and bagging in one operation
• Allows harvesting even at night
• Low harvesting cost
• Light weight, allowing use of the old, reliable 16 hp B&S cast iron engine

 SG800 RICE STRIPPER HARVESTER

• Portable and lightweight. Ability to work under soft, wet field conditions
• Efficient. 7-10 persons can harvest about one hectare, thresh and clean the grains in one day using the system.
• Simple construction. It has only one moving part for stripping the grains: the rotating comb-like structure made of used car tires.
• Reduced grain loss. Average in-field harvesting loss is 2%.
• Adaptable. It can harvest partially lodged crop.
  

PHILRICE-JICA ROTARY REAPER

• Affordable to farmers. The reaper is priced about 40% to 50% less than the imported models available in the local market.
• Suitable for local conditions. The reaper is suitable for local rice varieties and for wet or dry season harvesting
• Easy to operate. The reaper has minimum operating adjustments and can be operated conveniently in and out of the field
• Locally designed and manufactured. It can be locally manufactured using local materials and existing skills.
• Low repair and maintenance cost. Because it utilizes local parts and skill, it can be repaired and maintained by local shops
  

RICE CUTTER HARVESTER

• Can harvest rice; clean fields of corn stalks, grasses
• Suitable for local conditions, for wet or dry fields
• Easy to operate with minimum operating skill
• Choice of metal or plastic harvesting attachment
• Equipped with very sharp blade with carbide tip
• Very affordable to farmers
  

Drying

MALIGAYA FLATBED DRYER

• Complete drying from dripping wet to 13-14% MC, dried output can be used for seed purposes
• Used farm by-products like rice hull, corn cobs, or coffee hulls as fuel for heating drying air
• Simple, easy to fabricate and operate, and needs minimal maintenance
• Multi-crop capability for other grains like corn, coffee, legumes, and other crops (banana and cassava chips)
• Allows drying during unfavorable weather conditions, i.e. at night and during typhoons
• Allows income generation from custom drying operations
  

Cleaning

 SEED CLEANER

• High capacity. Up to 1.5 tons/hour for final cleaning after drying
• Low grain loss. Less than 1% cleaning loss
• Easy to operate. Minimum adjustments needed for operation.
• Simple design. Locally manufactured using locally-available materials.
• Highly mobile. Fitted with pneumatic wheels for towing and transport.
• Versatile. Can be used to clean inbred/hybrid seeds.
  

 Milling
