Stabilization of the Process Is a Condition for Its Objective Study

Research of the interrelationships between the time periods of stabilization of the technological process of trier grain cleaning from: feeding the grain mixture into the trier; its initial contamination; speed mode of operation and angular position of the output tray relative to the horizon are satisfied. They were carried out using experimental equipment that provided separate, regulated and continuous supply of grain mixture components into the trier with a looped movement of purified grain. Standard methods and instruments, as well as special instruments developed at the Federal State Budgetary Institution VNIITiN, were used to assess the physical and mechanical properties of the components of the grain mixture. It was found that with a supply of 1.2 t/h, an initial contamination of 1.3% and a lifting angle of the output tray of 55°, the speed mode of operation of 36.0 rpm is excessive, while stabilization of the process is not completed even after 15 minutes (92% ), the length of the free section of the cellular surface is 0.70 - 0.75 m, which increases the level of residual grain contamination to 0.025 - 0.04%, which does not meet the requirements for seeds of the OS category. The possibility of reducing the comparable level of process stabilization by 6 times when the operating speed is reduced to 34.6 rpm (by 3.9%) has been confirmed. Reducing the operating speed to 34.0 rpm leads to an increase in process losses to 16.85%. It has been established that with an increase in the initial contamination of the grain mixture to 2.6%, the stabilization period of the process at a speed mode of 34.6 rpm increases from 4.5 to 5.5 minutes, and technological losses reach the maximum permissible value (5%). The method for calculating the actual degree of stabilization of the process with its assessment based on the removal of impurities has been refined.
