Abstract
In modern flour production, the preservation of all vitamins and minerals in it is relevant. Minerals and vitamins are stored in flour, ground from whole grains. In the stone mills, the grain is subjected to repeated exposure to the working surfaces of the millstones, as a result of which the flour contains a large percentage of the most important components of the grain. The stone mill’s drive should provide a low rotational speed of the mills (peripheral speed up to 10 m/sec.) and the possibility of smooth control of its speed and torque without reducing the performance of the mill. From this point of view, it is promising to use in the mill’s drive, instead of asynchronous motors, rotation with additional devices (gearboxes, belt drives, V-belt drives, etc.) of flat asynchronous electric drives. The article suggests possible variants of technical solutions for stone mills with flat electric drives. It was concluded that the use of a flat asynchronous motor in the mill’s drive allows not only smoothly adjusting the frequency and torque of the millstones, but also because of the presence of edge effects, to prevent flour sticking in the millstone working zone. Compiled with the possibility of solving by analytical methods a mathematical model of mill’s drive, based on a flat electric drives, taking into account the longitudinal edge effect, the strength of viscous (internal) and dry (external) friction. The mechanical characteristics of the drive were found when moving the flat electric drives inductors and the dependencies of the change in the mill productivity on the millstone rotation frequency when grinding various grains, changing the fill factor of the grinding zone and the gap between the millstones were obtained.
