Theoretical and Experimental Studies of the Effect of Inclined Scraper on Removal of Raw Cotton from Mesh Surface

Abstract

The present manuscript deals with theoretical and experimental studies of the effect of inclined scraper on removal raw cotton from mesh surface. The mathematical model of the problem and theoretical studies of the motion of cotton mass on plane of scraper is derived taking into account material point by accomplishing plane motion in the mesh surface. Graphs of the experiment shows that performance of scraper inclined to the radius of the disk by the value <i> α </i>=30 ° to the surface mesh <i> β </i>=110 ° , optimally allows to reduce the formation of technological defects of raw cotton. The presence of zero-pressure portion on the mesh surface of separator may provide complete removal of cotton from its surface and to eliminate grid clogging.
