Operating process perfection and parameter substantiation of the pumpkin fruit cutter

The issues of cutter application efficiency increase for use in the continuous lines for carbohydrate forage preparation are considered in the article. On the basis of the analysis of existing structurally - technological schemes of the carbohydrate forage cutters the cutter for frosted pips and pumpkins is developed. The conducted theoretical analysis has allowed to receive the expressions for determination of capacity and productivity of the cutters of the given type. As a result of the conducted experiment and processing of the experimental data optimum parameters of the developed cutter are received.
