Description
The aim of the work is theoretical and experimental confirmation of the possibility of improvement in tractor unit acceleration due to the variable inertia moment of the rotating masses of the engine. The use of high-speed tractors in agricultural production meets a number of difficulties associated with unsteady processes during acceleration of the tractor units. The emerging significant inertial loads during acceleration result in the loss of engine power because of what the machine and tractor unit is operating at reduced productivity and efficiency. An analysis of published works shows that the tractor unit acceleration is strongly influenced by the rotating mass of the engine. A device based on the application of additional rotating masses in a free flywheel connected or disconnected automatically to the main engine flywheel at appropriate stages is offered. As a result, the tension during acceleration is reduced. The results of experimental studies on the effect of the additional rotating masses on the engine acceleration characteristics of the machine and tractor units on the basis of Class 1.4 tractor are given. It is proved that the use of the tractor additional rotating mass connected or disconnected to the respective modes of movement of a machine and tractor unit to the flywheel of the engine, improves acceleration performance

Description
The aim of the work is theoretical and experimental confirmation of the possibility of improving the rate of acceleration of tractor units due to installing of elastic-damping mechanism with variable stiffness in tractor transmission. Speed tractors application in agricultural production meets a number of difficulties associated with the unsteady processes during acceleration of machine and tractor units. The resulting large inertial loads when accelerating result in loss of engine power, due to which the machinetractor unit is operating at reduced performance and efficiency. An analysis of published studies shows that the acceleration performance of tractor units is greatly influenced by the stiffness and damping properties of the transmission of energy resources. To provide smooth acceleration of the unit it is proposed to install elastic-damping mechanism with variable stiffness in tractor transmission. As a result, the tension of the acceleration process decreases. The results of analytical and experimental studies on the effect of elastic-damping mechanism installed in the class 5 tractor transmission, on acceleration capabilities of tractor units are given. The optimum parameters of elements of elastic-damping mechanism with variable stiffness for class 5 tractors are determined. It is proved that the use of elastic-damping mechanism with a variable stiffness in the tractor transmission improves acceleration indicators

Description
The low rate of planting and harvesting mechanization is a common drawback of the equipment for hydroponic green fodder (HGF) cultivation. The system, that has been developed, is represented by a rack construction with a tray positioned on each rack; a tray is the place where the processes of seed dispersal and growth and the takeout of grown HGF occur. A tray with a pipe sways in opposite directions over pipe axis, and, as a result, moving bulk of seeds covers the entire tray surface with a seed layer of uniform thickness. The mathematical model of dynamics in the “granular medium – tray” system has been developed; on the basis of this model, after execution of simulation modeling, practical angles of tray tilt were identified as being within the range of 20 – 30 degrees. Experimental investigations have been carried out on the barley of “Vakula” cultivar with seed moisture contents 10%, 14%, 16% and 18%. During the research, the main factors influencing the process under consideration were identified: the moisture content in barley seeds; initial angle of tray tilt; the number of tray swaying motions. It was determined that the increase of tray filling rate can be achieved by means of setting up the initial angle of its tilt from a reference level, which depends on the moisture content in the barley seeds used in the process of HGF production. This angle is 22 – 24 degrees for the dry barley seed with moisture content 10-14% and 25 – 27degrees for the barley seed with higher moisture content. The upper limit of moisture content in the seeds used in work process should be specified to achieve high quality of a final product. The barley seeds with moisture content 10-15% and the angles of tray tilt 23 – 25 degrees should be used during HGF production

INVESTIGATION OF THE PROCESS OF EVAPORATION OF CHOKEBERRY INFUSIONS
DescriptionFor the design of rotary-film evaporators of the technology for food production we need summary tables of performance parameters of the process. To obtain them it requires a significant amount of experiments that require a large investment of time and resources. Therefore the actual task is reducing the cost of designing of the technological process, due to the choice of optimal parameters of the rotor-film evaporator. This problem can be solved by conducting a small series of experiments aimed at identifying general mathematical dependences of the parameters of the processes of evaporation on the performance of the device. Based on the obtained dependencies it is possible to find design and selection of evaporators. The study proceeded from the assumption that the maximum thickening of the initial solution in the evaporator, it is possible while achieving the maximum possible temperature, the filing of the original solution in the apparatus and performance during repeated evaporation and infusions from the fruits of chokeberry. The calculation is performed taking into account the prevention of adhesion of evaporated solution on the walls of the apparatus and the rotor blades, which may reduce the quality of the end product. The data confirm the effectiveness of the method of repeated evaporation on the example of concentrating the water-alcohol extracts of black chokeberry

RESEARCH OF THE DEHYDRATION PROCESSES OF BIOPOLYMER SYSTEMS IN POULTRY PRODUCTS
DescriptionThe article presents the results of the study of the ratio of the water fractions, which differ on binding energy with the biomaterial in the composition of poultry products having various fabric and polymeric structure. The authors used the method of differential scanning calorimetry. The objects for the research were experimental and industrial samples of poultry products. We prepared the experimental samples by wet thermal treatment of broilers heads and feet at the pressure of 0.24 MPa. The objects for comparison were the products of industrial production of poultry meat: the paste of chicken meat with multicomponent composition (minced chicken, pork fat, water, pork liver, onions, wheat flour, soy protein, emulsifying, the taste and flavor food additives, color correction supplements); natural canned meat "Chicken in the own juice" (GOST 28589-90). The analysis showed that the investigated samples (broiles heads, broilers feet, multicomponent paste) were characterized by the similar values of the mass ratio of the water fractions at three stages of dehydration, the relevant sections of the curves based on the degree of conversion of the substance α from the heating temperature in logarithmic coordinates. The results can be use in the development of formulations of food modules for the production of emulsified meat products from raw materials, subjected to preliminary heat treatment. We expect that the positive effect will be to increase the degree of utilization of secondary raw materials in the processing of poultry in primary production, expanding the range of foods enriched composition due to the natural raw material sources, improving sustainability of raw material base of processing companies
