JUSTIFICATION OF THE RATIONAL PROCESS AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF THE MACHINE FOR FINE CRUSHING OF RODS

Abstract

The effective use of corn cobs as part of feed mixtures requires appropriate preparation of raw materials, namely their grinding to achieve a granulometric composition, ensuring a reduction in energy consumption for the grinding process. For the effective use of corn cobs as part of fodder mixtures for cattle, the main requirement is their preliminary grinding to particles up to 5 mm in size with a fractional content of at least 70% and the use of a non-metal-intensive machine with reduced energy consumption requirements for the implementation of the process. The principle of operation, construction and geometric parameters of machines for grinding corn stalks corresponding to their particle size composition and physical and mechanical properties are analyzed.
