Substantiating the design parameters of a cleaner of root crops from soil

Introduction. The task of high-quality cleaning of root crops from soil is relevant at all stages of preparing roots for further processing, feeding to animals, and selling. In the machines for cleaning root crops from soil, there is mostly used water. With the water consumption for washing a unit of mass of soiled root crops up to 200-400%, the use of water creates a huge problem including soiled water treatment. The dry method of cleaning root crops is most common in practice and involves the use of appropriate machines, which are not always able to provide the required quality of the finished product. Therefore, the problem of developing a root crop cleaner by the dry cleaning method and substantiating the cleaner optimal parameters to ensure the required quality of the finished product is important and relevant. Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at substantiating theoretically the parameters of a root cleaner with adjacent rollers rotating at different frequen cies.
