DEVELOPMENT OF A SHREDDER – CONVEYOR DESIGN FORA FLAT – MATRIX GRANULATOR

Abstract

The article describes the operating principle of the developed flat –matrix feed granulator, indicating the absence of a developed screw conveyor design. The task was to study various types and designs of choppers, feed mixers and conduct a patent search. Based on this, develop the design of a multifunctional feed chopper –mixer – conveyor for a flat – matrix granulator of the GPM – IMA. It is indicated that feed mixtures are important in the diet of animals, for the preparation of which various mixers are used. Of these, mixing of feed components with high uniformity, low energy consumption and continuity is carried out in screw mixers. Also, the uniformity of mixing depends on the uniformity of the particles of feed components, which is achieved by continuous screw grinders. To ensure production flow, a continuous screw conveyor is used. The operating principles of various feed mixers are described. The design and technological diagram of a screw grinder –feed conveyor for a flat – matrix granulator GPM – IMA and the principle of operation are presented.
