520			_aThis project focuses on the design and development of a motorized bamboo splitter aimed to improve the efficiency and safety of the bamboo splitting process an important step in bamboo product manufacturing. Manual splitting methods are some time- consuming, risky, and unsuitable for large-scale production. The developed machine has three core systems: pushing, holding, and cutting. It utilizes a lead screw-driven carriage powered by a 1.5 HP AC motor, guided by dual rails and managed by limit switches. Bamboo poles rest on a v-block bed and are advanced into an eight-blade cutting system for uniform splitting. The machine can split two bamboo poles at once, each up to 1219.2 mm long and 110 mm in diameter. Performance tests showed that soaked bamboo was split in under 3 minutes, while dry bamboo took less than 5 minutes. Setup for inserting the bamboo took only 12 seconds. The system delivered consistent, accurate splits with relatively low power consumption (1100W). An evaluation covering aspects such as function, durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness gave it an average rating of 4.36, categorized as very satisfactory. Overall, the project offers a practical solution to enhance productivity and safety for small to medium sized bamboo based enterprises.
