SUBSTANTIATION OF THE CONSTRUCTIVE AND MODE PARAMETERS OF VIBRATORY DISC CRUSHER FOR THE FARM ANIMALS COMPOUND FEEDS PRODUCTION

Abstract

The research is based on the tasks of applied research on the topic: «Development of a complex of energy-efficient and resource-saving equipment and promising technologies for feeding farm animals of the AIC of Ukraine», state registration number 0121U108589. The authors’ research is aimed at solving current problems of technological renewal and development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. In the laboratory of the theory of mechanisms and machines of the department of general technical disciplines and labor protection of Vinnitsa National Agrarian University, a vibratory disk crusher was designed to increase the level of technical support for the livestock industry. The crusher uses a more efficient method of grinding feed grain – a combination of impact and cutting, in contrast to a hammer mill that grinds with a free impact of hammers. The research results of grinding soybeans grain into feed by a vibratory disk crusher are presented in the article. An experimental prototype of the developed machine was used as an object of research. To register the input and output parameters of grinding, we used the material and technical base of the department of technological processes and equipment of processing and food industries.
