ACADEMICIA: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL

The article provides a methodology for determining the theoretical study of the movement of potato tubers and impurities in a lifting centrifugal-separating bar elevator in potato harvesters. Most of the separating working bodies, which separate the components according to other characteristics, cannot work satisfactorily if there is a large amount of fine soil in the separated mass. Based on the results of the research carried out by us on the experimental installation, the layout of the pressure-pressure cylinder in the potato harvester was determined. This device separates the soil by centrifugal forces, and the lifting of the tubers produces a difference from known machines, without buckets or blades. A drum with a belt conveyor is located concentrically to the belt of the centrifugal elevator.
