ANALYSIS OF CONSTRUCTIONS OF SUGAR BEET CLEANERS

Abstract

The good cleaning of the head of the sugar beet root is one of the important factors that affects the further digging, storage and processing of the roots for sugar.  As root residues and damage to the root body deteriorate the storage conditions of the roots, the cost of transporting the raw material and its loss during storage and processing will increase.  In order to determine the rational technology and use of devices for root cleaning, the analysis of existing technologies and designs of machines for cleaning the branch from the surface of the heads of the root crops of sugar beet was conducted based on the conditions of improving the quality of the cleaning process and reducing the degree of damage to the body of the root, taking into account the characteristics of crops - yield  yams, terrain, etc.  In particular, the focus is on the design solutions of purifiers for cleaning beetroot on the roots.  A number of different structural cleaning devices are considered, the features of each design are determined, and the quality indicators of the work are analyzed.
