Convergent technologies as conceptual basis for formation of powder industry in agribusiness

Abstract

The active introduction of new technologies, including those based on the application of the principles of nano-grinding, can significantly reduce energy consumption in the production of agricultural products. The scale of such developments in the world suggests the need to create a scientific concept that forms a unified systematic approach to the use of promising technologies for grinding solids and materials. To solve this problem, the authors have developed a technology for crushing agricultural raw materials, and also designed a working body for a disintegrator-type grinder. The studies carried out by the authors on the use of nanopowders in the production of feed for cattle, as well as mineral fertilizers, made it possible to formulate the goals, objectives and main directions of development of the powder industry based on the use of convergent technologies, as well as mechanisms and ways to achieve these goals. Implementation of the developed concept is of great fundamental and practical importance. It will allow to ensure, in the medium term, the transition of the economy of the agricultural sector to the large-scale application of technologies for nanomilling of raw materials, secondary raw materials and waste processing, which will significantly reduce production costs. A decrease in costs on the scale of the regional economy will be facilitated by: decrease in logistics costs for raw materials in the form of crushed microfractions; increase in productivity and a corresponding increase in profitability by improving the properties of particles, increasing their surface as a result of the use of grinding technologies; improving the quality characteristics of agricultural products.

Impact elements of feed grinder: a review

“…In the working chamber of feed crushers, a working body with a package of disks equipped with working elements of a hammer-segment type with segment-type counter-cutting decks should be used [58]. In some cases, it is possible to use the working body of a disintegrator-type grinder [59]. A technique for modeling the working process of a line of dry animal feed and working bodies from a grinder based on Markov chains is being used.…”
