Development of An Improved Device for Separating Bean Seeds from Pods and Optimization of Its Main Structural Dimensions and Operating Modes

Аннотация

The article presents the development of an improved device aimed at increasing the efficiency of the process of separating and cleaning bean seeds from pods, as well as the optimization of its main structural dimensions and operating modes. The results of experimental studies showed that in the proposed device, complete separation of bean seeds from the pods, minimal seed damage, low seed loss, and high seed purity can be achieved when the shaft rotation speed is 450 min⁻¹, the number of beaters is 22, the length of the beaters is 230 mm, and the fan rotation speed is 2000 min⁻¹.
