Impact of the precleaner pneumatic duct on the grain dresser performance

Abstract

Abstract There is a wide variety of seed cleaners capable of functioning in seed treatment mode as part of the grain dresser. The most promising is the modernization of existing seed cleaning units, since it is possible to use their construction part, which will significantly reduce the cost of upgrading the production line for obtaining the seed material in the post-harvest processing. The goal during the equipping is to create an optimal set of grain dressers that allow getting seed material in one pass through the unit, minimizing micro and macro damage, which in turn affect future productivity. The goal of the research was to assess the impact of the precleaner pneumatic duct on the operation of the entire cleaning department.
