USE OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE HORIZONTAL PLANE FOR TECHNOLOGICAL VIBRATING MACHINES IN FOOD AND PROCESSING MANUFACTURING
In any industry machines with vibrating drives are applied that speaks their smaller consumption of electricity unlike other types of drives. Vibrating machines applied in the food and agrarian industry has serious advantages over other types of equipment. Their basic advantages are: high technological efficiency, small dimensions, small power consumption, possibility of combination of several technological processes in time. Despite high efficiency of a vibrating drive, there are still possibilities for decrease in power expenses in its design. The value of disturbing force is definiens for the value of vibrator energy consumption. If to consider recurrence of movements of the operating element it is obvious, that the maximum value of capacity for the vibrator is required only during the certain moments of a vibration cycle. Therefore, having studied this question, it is theoretically possible to define on what except useful work capacity of a vibrator is spent. In the article the expediency of use of harmonious fluctuations of vibrating machine operating element in a horizontal plane for the purpose of decrease of necessary capacity of a vibrating drive is proved. Analytical investigation shows significant economy of power expenses due to the decrease in a direction angle of fluctuations and value of friction factor at moving of the operating element. A friction factor value is so great that allows to reduce the value of capacity required 1,5 … 3 fold. In many vibrating machines of food industry, for example, vibrating separators there is a possibility of a vibrating drive design reconstruction for reception of horizontal harmonious fluctuations without changes of technological process that will lead to considerable decrease in power expenses.
