The article discusses the design features of the CX cotton separator. As a result of the analysis, the main reasons are established that lead to increased mechanical damage to seeds, and, as a consequence, to a decrease in the quality of products of the cotton ginning industry. The modernisation of the existing design of the separator is proposed by installing a visor at the outlet of the air flow into the separating chamber. On the basis of experimental studies, a regression mathematical model was obtained, which made it possible to assess the influence of the main design and technological parameters on the mechanical damage of seeds. It was found that this parameter, in addition to the position of the visor, is significantly influenced by the air flow rate at the entrance to the separation chamber and the separator performance. Recommendations on the choice of the position of the visor are obtained.

The extension of technical capabilities of machine centres for complete machining of components can improve their performance. In the field of sheet metal machining, the objective beside the classic milling operation was a generation of functional surfaces by face brushing. The experimental studies have probed the influence of tools and technological parameters on the surface quality. In addition to an analysis of the relevant roughness parameters the formation of the surface topography was analysed by several measurement methods. By the application of force measurement, the results of the surface quality can be interpreted additionally. It could be shown that the feed rate in contrast to the cutting speed has the main influence on the surface roughness. A peculiarity is given by the parameter-based width of cut that should be known for reliable process control. The acquired data can be applied in the form of process characteristic fields for further processing with simulation and modelling methods.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the significance of differences in the technological parameters of electroerosive micro-hole firmware for two variants of the micro-hole firmware series process: without facing the tool electrode and with the tool electrode facing after processing each hole. The significance of differences in the technological parameters of the firmware process is established: by the wear of the electrode-tool, by the productivity of the process and the efficiency of the process as a whole. Detailed statistical processing of data from two samples of eight duplicate (parallel) experiments in each sample is performed to accurately assess the significance of the differences between the two variants of the process of electroerosive firmware of microholes. Calculations are made of the limit values of parameters of the microholes' electroerosion firmware: the relative linear wear of the electrode-tool and the process performance. They allow identifying and excluding doubtful experiments (artifacts) from the results, i.e. experiments with sharply distinguished results. The results of such experiments should be excluded from the statistical series, since they significantly affect the results of the experiment. The paper uses an exact method for determining the required number of duplicate experiments developed at BSTU named after V. G. Shukhov. The conducted research clearly shows the feasibility of introducing the electrode-tool in manufacturing to reduce the wear of the electrode-tool and, therefore, increase the quality of products with deaf microholes, for example, in the mass production of atraumatic surgical needles, the volume of production of which is millions of pieces per year.

Paddle mixers with horizontal shafts are common at building materials enterprises for the preparation of concretes, mortars, dry mortars. A new design of a horizontal paddle mixer with rod elements located in front of the working surfaces of the blades, changing the trajectories of material particles, increasing their mobility, which leads to an increase in the degree of homogeneity of the mixed material, is considered. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of rod elements on the quality of preparation of a cement-sand mixture, to establish patterns of influence on it by the design and technological parameters of a two-shaft paddle mixer and to determine the areas of their rational values. The following tasks have been solved. A bench installation of a two-shaft horizontal paddle mixer with rod elements has been developed, on which experimental studies have been carried out on the preparation of dry cement-sand mixtures. For the criterion characterizing the quality of the mixture, the ultimate compressive strength of the prism specimens made from it is adopted. Regression equations are obtained that adequately describe the compressive strength of prism samples from the design and technological parameters of the mixer: the angle of the blades, the distance from the working surfaces of the blades to the rod elements, the rotational speed of the blade shafts, and their analysis is performed. The analysis of the change in the ultimate compressive strength of the prism specimens from the parameters under study is carried out, the rational ranges of their values are determined. It was found that a mixer with rod elements allows to obtain a dry cement-sand mixture, products from which have a higher compressive strength. During the work, the method of mathematical planning of experiments was used. As a result of the study, an assessment of the influence of rod elements on the quality of preparation of a cement-sand mixture was carried out, the regularities of the influence on it of the design and technological parameters of a two-shaft paddle mixer and the area of their rational values were established.

Air flow measurement at the outlets of air terminal devices installed in ventilation systems is very difficult. At the outlets of anemostats, swirl diffusers, grilles, the air flow can swirl, contract, or expand sharply, change its direction, etc., which causes great measurement errors. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a universal measuring device that would make it possible to measure air flow rate with high accuracy. It should consist of an air collector (for collecting and rectifying air flow) and a sensor for measuring air flow rate (integral hot-wire anemometer). Several air collector designs have been investigated. The parabolic air collector was chosen as the rational one. It has low aerodynamic resistance and good air flow distribution. To reduce the influence of turbulence and air swirling, a cylindrical stilling channel with a built-in rectifying grille is connected to the air collector. Experimental studies on various air distribution devices made it possible to obtain a refined calibration dependence for an integral hot-wire anemometer, the dependence being used to calculate air flow rate. The influence of the aerodynamic resistance of an airflow meter on air flow rate is taken into account with the help of a correction that must be introduced into the values measured.

The aim of the study is the quality improvement of the feed mixture prepared and substantiation of the design and technological parameters of blade mixer batch- operated. The task is to set the functional dependence between the prepared mixtures quality and the empirical ratio of the intensity of mixing, taking into account the blades length in regard to values of the rotation frequency and the length of the blade of the batch-operated mixer, as well as the definition of rational length of the mixer blades. Improving the quality of mixture requires both the adding of all nec-essary nutrients and feed components into the volume of prepared portion of the mixture as stipulated by the recipe for mixture, and smooth distribution of components throughout the volume of ready feed. Smooth distribution of the mixture components is related to the design and operation of the mixer. Blade mixer batch- operated is one of the effective types of existing mixers, mixing the ingredients of feed with good quality. The article presents the result oriented design scheme of the blade mixer. Positive functions of the mixture quality and the empirical coefficient of mixing intensity included in their composition are assessed taking into account the length of the blades, depending on the rotation speed and frequency of the mixer. The graphic results of experimental studies taking into account the influence of the blade length and the speed of the mixer on the quality of the prepared mixture are given. The increase of blade length and rotation speed improves the quality of the mixture. Recommended blade length is 75...80 mm. With frequency of rotation increase and the length of the blades the total value of the empirical coeffi-cient of the intensity of mixing, depending on the effect of the length of the blades decreases at a slower pace. This is typical of the obtained hyperbolic dependence.

Annual harvesting of a large number of forest seeds allows for reforestation on the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, more than 70% falls on the seeds of coniferous trees. In order to increase their sowing quality and reduce losses, the seeds are dehumidified, cleaned, sorted by density and size, stratification, as well as other technological operations. The use of refined seeds during reforestation allows increasing the productivity of sowing units, improving the quality of seed placement, reducing the volume of seed bins, which leads to a decrease in the metal consumption of sewing machines as a whole. For experimental studies, special sieves were made: plastic with chamfered, plastic with standard holes and plastic with rounded edges. The dependences of the completeness of separation of the procode fraction ε were determined for various combinations of the angle of inclination α and the rotation frequency of the working body ω for various seed thicknesses. The angle of inclination of the working body α was changed from 4 ° to 12 °, in increments of 2 °, rotation frequency ω from 400 min--to 1200 min-¹, in increments of 200 min-¹. The size gap was set taking into account the dimensional characteristics of existing sieves with rectangular holes and was 0.2 mm. Studies were conducted on the seeds of common pine.
