Performance analysis of a linter machine with a new inter-saw gasket

Abstract

A new design of the inter-saw gasket is proposed in the article; it makes it possible to reduce the weight of the saw cylinder of a linter machine to 1.5 kg. The results of experimental studies (under production conditions) of a new design of the modernized inter-saw gasket of the 5LP linter machine are presented. The basic technological indices of the 5LP linter machine with a new design of a gasket for lintering furry seeds and saw blades were established. As a result of industrial tests of the steel gasket of the 5LP linter machine, it was determined that the steel gaskets meet the requirements of the linting process. In addition, the cotton seeds productivity is 550 kg/h, the power consumption of the saw cylinder is 10.8 kW, and the expected annual economic efficiency for one 5LP linter machine is 4.312 thousand soums.
