DETERMINATION OF OPTIMAL PARAMETERS ENSURING EFFICIENT OPERATION OF A COTTON GINNER

Abstract

Determining of rational parameters of each technological machine before introducing it into a design and manufacture is considered of particular importance.
Because a new machine being designed must be proportional to the ones in the process before and after it. One of these areas of manufacture is a primary processing of cotton, which also uses technological machines arranged in several series. Their high efficiency and productivity depend on working parts having rational parameters. One of the relevant tasks of the research is to determine the parameters that will ensure effective operation of cotton gins as well as to conduct experiments in accordance with established procedures. The article reviews influence of working parts on the efficiency of cleaning the device during operation of technological machines used in cleaning of cotton raw materials from large and mineral impurities at cotton ginning enterprises, as well as it examines working elements of the device selected as input factors of different values. In view to determine optimal parameters of the working elements of the device, the results of experiments made using a non-repetitive combined method are being presented. When determining these parameters, the rational data of the working parts of the device were found by conducting a full factorial experiment in the TOT 23 form. The results retrieved were compared by Fisher’s F test at a significance level of 5%
