ISSUES OF DEVELOPING AN OPTIMAL DESIGN OF THE WORKING BODY OF MACHINES FOR CLEANING OPEN COLLECTORS AND CHANNELS IN THE EARTHEN RIVERBED

Аннотация

The article presents the concept of developing a working body of machines for cleaning open channels from sediments and vegetation. Existing solutions such as dredges and rotary cleaners are reviewed and their disadvantages are identified, including low versatility and high operating costs. A new design is proposed that combines cutting elements and scrapers to simultaneously remove sediments and vegetation. The approach is aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
