Optimization of structural and kinematic parameters of separator of vegetable and melon crops

Abstract

Optimization of structural and kinematic parameters of separator of vegetable and melon crops It was determined in the article the optimization criteria, which were used to evaluate the quality of the technological process. The main factors influencing the operation of the vibrating separator are revealed: the angle of inclination of the lattice surface, the frequency of oscillations of the sieve, the amplitude of its oscillations, the angle of application of the oscillation force and the length of the sieve. The optimization criteria were chosen: purity, magnitude of injury and the level of seed loss. The ranges of optimal combination of independent factors are indicated. Keywords: vegetable and melon crops, separator, kinematic and design parameters.
