Pastushenko A. Justification of technological process parameters and operating modes of the machine for extracting the seeds of cucumber and melon.

In the dissertation the important scientific problem which is directed on the increase of efficiency of the process of extraction of vegetable and melon seeds, development of construction and a substantiation of the constructive operating parameters of the masher (press) - separating type machine in which process of destruction of seed fruits occurs simultaneously with the forced separation of seeds is solved. The machine produces seeds without the use of water in the technological process. On the basis of theoretical and experimental studies the effective constructive operating parameters and conditions of the masher (press) - separating machine that lead to quality, quantity and economic rates improvement of the seeds produced are validated and prompted. Conducted production research and economic calculations proved its efficiency.
