| Title : | PRODUCTIVITY OF TRANSPORT AGGREGATES IN HARVESTING CORN GRAINS |
| Abstract : | Transport in plant production includes the entire transport of products and raw material from the place of production to the storehouse. Participation of transport in plant production relative to the total volume of mechanized works ranges from 35-50%, which significantly affects the total production costs. Determining the optimal organization of transport, the formation of transport aggregate and transport means can affect the increase in the economy of production. The paper presents the results of research of transport aggregate and transport means for harvesting corn grains at the distance of: 1km, 10km, 15km. Based on the data processed, the most efficient transport aggregate is determined. The results of the research of transport aggregates (A, B, C) show that they have made significant differences in the quantity of transported corn grain at different operating speeds. At a distance of 1km, the transport aggregate (A) transported 150.4 tonnes of corn grains, with an average operating speed of 11.2 km.h-1, the transport aggregate (B) transported 104.58 tonnes of corn grains with an average operating speed from 7.41 km.h-1 and transport aggregate (C) transported 103.65 tonnes of corn grains with an average speed of 14.69 km.h-1. At a distance of 10 km, the transport aggregate (A) transported 27.64 tonnes of corn grains, with an average operating speed of 12.78 km.h-1, the transport aggregate (B) transported 72.50 tonnes with the average operating speed of 10.75 km.h-1 and the transport aggregate (C) transported 187.50 tonnes of corn grains with an average operating speed of 23.25 km.h-1. At a distance of 15 km, the transport aggregate (A) transported 19.45 tonnes with an average operating speed of 17.00 km.h-1, the transport aggregate (B) transported 56.68 tonnes with an average operating speed of 15 km.h-1and the transport aggregate (C) transported 143.5 tonnes of corn grain with an average operating speed of 30.50 km.h-1. |
