RockyDEM is used to simulate the conveying and soil-removing device to determine its optimal structural parameters in order to solve the problem of low soil removal rate and high straw loss rate of the conveying and soil-removing device of the corn straw picking and pelletizing machinery.Single-factor and multi-factor simulation tests were conducted with soil removal rate and straw loss rate as evaluation indexes, and blade to shell clearance, sieve aperture and pitch as influencing factors.The results from the experimental the soil removal rate and the straw loss rate and simulation data from the model showed good agreement. Therefore, the procedures of this study can be used for the design and optimisation of conveying and soil-removing device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
