Abstract
The low-cost cleaning and classification of granular agricultural products in
a vibrating environment is possible via the mathematical modeling of the
movement of a grain on the surface of the screen. In this study, design and
analysis of a vibratory screen used for cleaning and classifying peanuts
has been realized. Therefore, firstly a mathematical model of this process
has been developed based on analysis carried out on a grain making
translation on a vibrating surface. A 6- bar mechanism was selected as the
driving system and the kinematical analysis was performed to obtain the
basic inputs of the vibratory screen. Based on the mathematical model
developed, a design algorithm has been formed by which design and operating
parameters are selected so as to satisfy the necessary conditions for
effective sieving. This way ensures saving money and time. The algorithm
has been demonstrated on a numerical example and it is shown suitable to
sieve the peanut.
