Abstract
The article proposes a methodology for studying the productivity (capacity) and power consumption of a pneumatic conveyor for active ventilation of soybeans in container-modular storage in farms and the factors affecting them. In determining the parameters of the pneumatic conveyor, the physical and technological characteristics of the grain (soybean) are taken into account. The proposed methodology is based on the method of classical calculation for selecting a pneumatic conveyor with nominal parameters, which is necessary not only for transportation, both vertically and horizontally, but also for active ventilation of grain in containers during storage. The purpose of the methodology is to select a specific pneumatic conveyor for container-modular equipment for soybeans storage in the conditions of farms in Kazakhstan.
Highlights
Soybean storage can be short-term and long-term
Each module consists of a selected container, pneumatic conveying aggregate, pipelines, and control and monitoring instruments
Equipment for grain storage with active ventilation, includes a hopper for grain storing, characterized in that the hopper is made in the form of a vertically situated container, while its lower part is made conical at an angle of at least 40° with a lower hole connected to the pneumatic conveyor through a nozzle and on the inner side, on three equidistant levels along the height of the container, are placed humidity sensors, which are fixed on the steel pipes, and a sensor control and monitoring panel is installed on the outer side of the container
Summary
For the calculation of the pneumatic conveyor, the given in [4] method (calculation method of the suction equipment) is assumed. This is a classical method of selecting a pneumatic conveyor with nominal parameters, which is necessary for transportation, and for active ventilation of grain in storage containers
