EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF CONSUMER SPECIFIC COSTS CAPACITY OF THE SCREW CONVEYOR

In the article, based on a set of generalized scientific results, urgent task expanding functionality screw transport mechanisms is solved. The conveyor consists loading hopper and casing in which auger installed. Shredder knives are fixed between turns auger. According to results experimental studies, regression equation was obtained that characterizes change specific consumption consumer power depending main parameters conveyor. It established array approximate values for process simultaneous transportation grinding root crops by within range 0.03...0.17 kW s/kg m.Kеу wоrds: auger, chopper knife, crops, planned experiment, diameter, pitch, rotation frequency, consumption.
