Abstract

The article considers the treatment of potatoes with protective and stimulating substances before planting, using a slit-type disperser, a finely dispersed low-volume spray on the surface of the processing object. The article has a research character, which is expressed in the fact that the analysis of methods and means for processing potatoes with protective and stimulating substances, as well as excerpts from the works of leading scientists on the subject under study are promising scientific developments in the form of patent analysis, which provide optimal flow of the technological process, there were shown their shortcomings and solutions to these problems. There was formulated the main problem of general etching constructions. Also, there was specified the technology of potato tubers treatment with protective-stimulating preparation, the description and the course of technological process are cited. As a result of the work done, a constructive scheme of the device for the treatment of tubers with protective and stimulating liquids by means of slit sprayers is proposed. The article also provides the optimization of parameters of a pneumatic slit sprayer for treatment of tubers with protective and stimulating liquids. The conclusions set out the main results achieved so far.

Highlights

  • The article considers the treatment of potatoes with protective and stimulating substances before planting, using a slit-type disperser, a finely dispersed low-volume spray on the surface of the processing object

  • The etching device using a semi-dry method of processing [2] and such process indicators as the quality of dispersion and the uniformity of the working fluid deposition on the tubers surface are of great interest

  • Taking into account the deficiencies in existing designs for the treatment of potato tubers, we have developed a prototype of the etching device with pneumatic slit dispersing devices of Kuban State Agrarian University [3] for ultra-low volume treatment of potato tubers by preparations of broad spectrum of operation

Summary

Introduction

The article considers the treatment of potatoes with protective and stimulating substances before planting, using a slit-type disperser, a finely dispersed low-volume spray on the surface of the processing object. The device for the study of structural and operating parameters of transporting devices of potato tubers and devices for applying the protective and stimulating agents to tubers in sprayed form (in the form of highly dispersed jets) are represented by a hopper for tubers of rolled rod-shaped surface of the receiving hopper, a device for semi-dry etching of tubers and a compressor unit.
