SUBSTANTIATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF A HORIZONTAL CONVEYER-CLEANER OF ROOT CROPS

Abstract

The paper covers theoretical substantiation of the rational parameters of a horizontal conveyer-cleaner of sugar beets providing their minimum loss during process performance. The procedure of conducting experimental investigations on the developed design of a horizontal conveyer-cleaner of root crops in configuration with a root crop harvester is presented. The results of the experimental research on determining root crop loss, damage and impurity depending on the design and kinematic parameters of a cleaner are provided. In order to choose the rational parameters, specific recommendations are provided.
