Abstract

The agricultural industry heavily relies on mulching paper to improve soil health, control weeds, and retain water. However, the conventional method of creating holes in the paper involves using coal-fired heat, which contributes to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. To address the need for sustainable farming practices, this project introduces a clean and efficient alternative called electrified perforation. One notable advantage of this electricity-driven perforation method is the significant reduction in time needed to reheat the tool used for creating holes. Unlike the traditional process, which requires reheating the coal-powered tool between each hole, the electrified method allows for rapid and consistent heat application. This saves valuable time in the overall production process. The electrified perforation system uses controlled electric pulses to generate localized heat, eliminating the reliance on fossil fuels and ensuring precise and effective whole creation in the mulching paper. By optimizing parameters such as voltage, pulse duration, and frequency, the aim is to establish a reliable and environmentally friendly method that not only meets agricultural requirements but also aligns with the global shift towards cleaner technologies. This project not only addresses the environmental concerns associated with traditional methods, but also examines the economic viability, overall performance, and time-saving benefits of using electricity-based perforation for mulching paper production.
