Experimental Studies of Quality Indicators of the Transport Cleaning System

Abstract

The efficiency of the technological process of cleaning root crops from impurities is ensured by developing, justifying the parameters and application of advanced cleaning systems of the heap of root crops. The description of a design and the principle of work of transport and clearing system of a heap of root crops is resulted. According to the results of field planned factorial experiments, regression equations were obtained, which characterize the change of components of the heap of root crops depending on the structural and kinematic parameters of the transport and cleaning system and the operating conditions of the root harvesting machine. The results of the study are the prerequisites for the development of methodology and methods for optimizing the parameters of treatment systems of root harvesting machines.Kеу wоrds: loading conveyor, cleaning slide, auger system, roots, general impurities, damage to roots.
