ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESS OF SELECTING FLAX STEM TAPE IN THE FIELD

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the process of selection of flax stem tape on flax with the help of a flax harvester with a combined sorter, which contains working organs in the form of fingers. Analytical dependences for substantiation of operating modes and parameters of working bodies of the advanced combined flax harvester are established. To prepare flaxseed in the field under adverse weather conditions, the stem tape is placed by a flax harvester on the wet vegetation of the flaxseed, where it dries with it and germinates with grass and weeds while lying on the flaxseed. As a result of curing, the stem tape seems to stick to the flaxseed, which creates certain difficulties during its mechanized lifting, because first the stem tape must be torn off from such a surface. This process is often accompanied by significant damage and loss of flax. Due to the study of the process of picking the stem belt on flax, it is possible to systematically improve the pickers of flax harvesters.
