Justification of the criterion for the washing process of fruits and vegetables

Abstract

The article describes a calculation algorithm for modeling the process of washing the fruit, which allows you to change the parameters of the device in order to assess the quantitative change in the intensity of the mechanical interaction of the working body on the fruit surface. Parameters of the fruit washing machine, determined by the criterion the intensity of the mechanical interaction of the working bodies with the fruits When designing a machine, it is desirable to provide such process conditions under which the fetus makes 5 - 7 complete revolutions around its axis. This parameter is adjusted by changing the distance between brush cylinders, as well as the selection of parameters that provide the average value of the angular velocity of rotation of the fetus around its axis in within ωpl = 0.5 - 0.7 rad/s.
