THE RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE CLEANER HEAP ROOT CROPS

The article describes the combined root pile cleaner, which consists of a horizontal conveyor and a screw conveyor mounted above it. A couple of rollers are located behind the screw conveyor. The technique of carrying out experimental researches of the process of moving the mock-up samples of root vegetables to the rollers through the gap between the auger and the working branch of the feed conveyor is described. The analysis of the regression equations characterizing the change in the number of passed root crops under the screw conveyor to the rollers from the basic parameters of the combined cleaner and dimensional characteristics of the roots.
