Airfield Sweeping and Blowing Machine Reliability and Production Manufacturability Evaluation

The article presents an assessment of the manufacturability of production, one of the tasks of which is to review possible cooperative enterprises for the manufacture of parts and assembly units of an airfield sweeper–blower. A primary analysis of the methods for obtaining components and assemblies in pilot production, which are part of the airfield sweeper–blower, has been carried out. A structural diagram of a purge unit for cleaning the airfield canvas is presented. The main difficulties in the layout and assembly of the installation are considered. Calculations were made of the wind speed at the inlet, the coefficient of hydraulic friction resistance, air pressure, specific pressure loss due to friction, the total value of pressure loss, the maximum useful power of the fan, the maximum possible power of the fan drive, the amount of torque on the shaft of the hydraulic drive of the purge installation, confirming its operability designs.
