OPTIMAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROCESSED WOOL MASS IN SQUEEZING ROLLERS TO ENSURE BETTER PROCESS EFFICIENCY

Abstract

The article discusses a squeezing device in a wool washing machine that helps resist low squeezing efficiency, providing high-quality washing. The analysis presents roller mechanisms, which ensure a higher level of wool purity and an optimal squeezing process. Findings, presented graphically, show the distribution of the mass of processed wool as it passes through a pair of shafts. The geometry of the layer of wool compressed in testing affects the movement of a liquid within it, the distribution of pressure across the width of the layer, the conditions of capture, and its movement within the rollers. A water-saving washing machine, comprising a washing barge, a running rake, an unloader, an output conveyor, and electric motors, has been experimentally designed. The article discusses the issue of washing the wool. The process of collecting wool from a liquid medium and unloading it for the next stage of washing was subject to analysis. The review of findings from experimental tests showed that the suggested barge washing machine leaves fewer impurities and less fat compared to the existing washing unit.
