DETERMINATION OF POWER TO THE DRIVE OF SCREW MIXING WORKING BODIES

Abstract

To make feed mixtures from separate feed components screws are used in fodder mixers. The nature of feed movement in a hopper is different that is why energy consumption depends on separate working zones of a screw. One of the important technical elements affecting power required for transportation is a screw helix angle. It’s established that this parameter depends on physical and mechanical properties of feed and geometric parameters of a hopper and a screw. The results of the research are implemented in a mobile fodder mixer IBS-10 for a multi-component enriched additive.
