Influence of the circumferential speed of the spiked cylinders on the efficiency of cleaning raw cotton
Abstract
Abstract The article examines the dependence of the speed of rotation of the spiked cylinder of the machine for cleaning the raw cotton from fine impurities on the cleaning efficiency of the machine by different varieties. In addition, the article plotted the speed of rotation of the spiked cylinder as a function of mechanical damage to the seed. Based on experimental studies, the operation of the machine for cleaning cotton raw materials from fine contaminants is based. Experimental studies on raw cotton of medium and fine fiber varieties of hand and machine cotton picking on the value of constant and differentiated peripheral speeds of cylinders fully confirmed the theoretical conclusions. It is recommended to use a differentiated high-speed mode of rotation of the spiked cylinders: When cleaning medium-staple cotton - 10:11:12 m/sec, when cleaning fine-stapled cotton - 9:10:11 m/sec.
