Energy plants chopping and determination of physical-mechanical properties of stems chaff

In this article is presented the technique for chopping the energy plants - topinambours, sunflowers, willows, which are usable for solid fuel. It is presented characteristics of plants chaff, which is chopped by different choppers. As well you will find methodology of evaluation of energy plants stems chaff physical-mechanical properties and discussion of experimental investigation results. Experimental investigations were made on manual way cut, in experimentation friend grown up, energy plants stems, which were chopped up by drum chopper of Maral-125 combine, timber chopper 25 DH-E and drum type forage chopper SPP-1. There are stated these energy plants stems chaff physical-mechanical properties: moisture content, density, natural crumble and fall angle and evaluated thinness of chaffVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŽemės ūkio akademij
