DEVELOPMENT OF A DEVICE FOR INCLINING FLAX STALK FOR A FLAXPULLING APPARATUS

Abstract

The article describes the design of a device for inclining flax stalk for a disc-belt flax-pulling apparatus. An experimental
setup with a device for inclining flax stalk was manufactured and its performance was tested in field conditions. It was
established that the use of the device for inclining ensures a guaranteed tilt of the stalks, which are brought by dividers to the
pulling streams, thereby reducing the stretching and skewing of the stalks in the belt. It also ensures the perpendicularity of the
flax stalks clamped in the of the pulling stream, thus improving the performance of subsequent technological operations of the
flax harvesting machine. Such as combing seed capsules and spreading flax straw.
