Optimizing the parameters of a universal unit for fodder grinding

Introduction. The diversity of the fodder base and livestock in farming enterprises requires various processing lines and technological tools for fodder preparation. Most commonly, a high cost of these technological tools makes their use economically unfeasible. Therefore, an urgent task is to create compact technological tools for mechanizing the main processes of fodder preparation in farming enterprises. Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at investigating the main structural-and-technological factors affecting the fodder grinding by a hammer-segment grinding tool with more efficient energy consumption indicators.
