Block diagram of technological process control for manure cleaning, removal and processing

Modern equipment used in the manure removal line at cattle farms has separate control units for automation of each technological operation. Introduction of information technologies with automation of the whole technological process of manure cleaning, removal, transportation and processing as a single system will allow to exclude low-productive, unskilled manual labor and increase the efficiency of production. The aim of the research is to develop dependencies and block diagram of the technological process of manure cleaning, removal and processing as a control object, which allows to automate the process with the provision of specified technical and economic indicators. The technological operations affecting the formation of manure, technologies of its processing and storage, used on cattle farms of loose housing method are analyzed. As a source of data, information obtained in the framework of scientific projects and design of cattle breeding farms was used. The control block diagram covers technological operations of manure management, which are carried out in the animal housing buildings and milking parlor, accumulation in the intermediate manure collector, transportation, separation with fermentation of solid fraction of manure, storage, as well as hoof treatment and drinker washing, during which the used water is discharged as effluent into manure. Alternatives are available for some technological operations. The developed model of technological process of manure cleaning, removal and processing is aimed at complex automation of processes and formation of consistency of operation modes of technical means in order to reduce operating costs.
