Research into the conditions and principles of component distribution by secondary separation organs in root and tuber harvesting machines is an important stage in improving the technological process of harvesting root crops. These machines, used for harvesting potatoes, carrots, beets and other root crops, aim to achieve maximum efficiency in separating soil, root crops and other impurities with minimal losses of the main product. One of the main problems in the operation of such machines is the correct distribution of components between various secondary separation organs, such as sieves, drums and other mechanisms that ensure cleaning from dirt and plant particles. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the physical and mechanical properties of root crops, as well as the operating conditions of the machine, which depend on the type of soil, humidity and other factors. The main principles of component distribution are to optimize the operation of the separation organs to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency with minimal energy consumption and reduced mechanical damage to root crops. To do this, it is important to correctly adjust the parameters of the material movement, such as the speed of rotation of the drums, the angle of inclination of the sieves, as well as the size and shape of the separation elements. In addition, factors affecting the mobility of root crops and soil should be taken into account, in particular their shape, size and degree of compaction. By studying and optimizing the processes of secondary separation, it is possible to significantly increase the efficiency of root and tuber harvesting machines, reduce product losses and reduce their mechanical damage. This helps to reduce processing costs and preserve crop quality, which is critical for agricultural production.References
