Abstract
The article discusses the mechanized process of post-harvest processing of root crops and onions. Unresolved problems associated with the imperfection of the design of the separating organs of the lines of post-harvest processing are noted. Data on the content of up to 44% impurities in the heap of onion sets are given, of which 42% are soil lumps, the largest percentage of them are lumps with a diameter of 15 to 22 mm. A variational distribution curve is presented in a pile of soil lumps commensurate with onion-set in thickness. A schematic diagram of a device for the separation of a pile of root crops and bulbs with a description of the process is proposed, which allows combining the transportation and cleaning of a pile of onions from impurities. The use of the device will reduce injury and improve the quality of separation of root crops and bulbs.
