Study of the 125 mm diameter seed-removing tube performance
Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the performance of a seed-removing (perforated) tube with a diameter of 125 mm. To study the practical performance of the seed-removing tube with a diameter of 125 mm, a 30-saw cotton gin with a cleaning section was developed. As a result of the study, a regression equation was derived to determine the productivity of the seed-removing tube, depending on the density of the raw cotton roller and the rotational velocity of the perforated tube. As a result of the research, a decrease in the productivity of the seed-removing tube (from 149.75 to 54.91 kg/h) was established with a decrease in the density of the raw cotton roller (from 227 to 219 kg/m3) and an increase in the rotational speed of the seed-removing tube (from 280 to 360 rpm).
