Fedorus Y. Development and justification of parameters of combined calender-stripper machine for separating seeds and flax

This thesis is dedicated to the solution of significant scientific and technical problem of improving efficiency seeds separation from flax stems by using combined operating process, which is based on the new design development and substantiation of flattening and combing parameters of machine. The structure of the seeds separation process from stalks of flax was substantiated and new construction of flattening and combing machine was proposed and basic its parameters were determined. The process regularities of flattening boxes and extraction of available seeds with breaking of non-flattened boxes from stems had been done. The field tests and calculation of economic efficiency using of flax harvester with new flattening and combing machine were made.
