Specific Features of the Design of Domestic and Foreign Mowing Machines for Handling of Reclamation Projects

Abstract

The mowing off and removing of greenery from the channel bottom, slopes, banks is one of the major operations of handling of the reclamation projects. The difficulties of this operation mechanization are caused by different height, thickness and diameter of grass stalks, availability of tree and bush vegetation, banks and slopes relief irregularity, foreign objects at the work regions, different soil conditions. The analysis of the designs of domestic and foreign mowing machines shows that they demand improvement of the mathematical models. During development of the operating embodiments of KBF-2,5 mowing machines and with KPP-1,5 pneumatic picking up of the mass mowed off from the channel slopes, the mathematical models describing the technological regimes of work and determinative optimal parameters of their cutters were used.
