Improved pump for transporting liquid feed mixtures through pipes on farms
Abstract
The article substantiates the effectiveness of the use of liquid feed when feeding pigs, shows the advantages of feeding with liquid feed rather than dry feed. It is stated that, when feeding with liquid feed, pigs of some production groups reduce the need for drinking water, while the energy consumption for surviving feed and saliva secretion is reduced to a minimum. The transition to liquid feed mixtures of low moisture content, which include juicy feed or green pastes, is considered rational, but the equipment used for transporting and distributing such feed mixtures requires the improvement of working organs. However, the use of pipeline transport for transporting and distributing feed mixtures on farms and small family farms requires the use of special feed-transporting pumps with high reliability. But, the industry does not produce special pumps for feeding feed mixtures of high concentration with a moisture content of 68…. 75%, and the use of pumps from other industries does not give effective results. Therefore, the development of a pump used for feeding feed mixtures with low moisture content is very urgent. To solve this problem, the authors have proposed a new energy-saving pump design used for feeding liquid feed mixtures through pipes on farms and small farms. Devices and the principle of operation of the improved pump are given. The novelty of the design is confirmed by the patent of the Republic of Uzbekistan UZ 5149B.
