Seed cleaning line based on Julite equipment

Abstract

The experience of operating grain cleaning units of the ZAV-20, ZAV-40, ZAV-25 type and others that serve as the main technological equipment of post-harvest grain handling facilities revealed their shortcomings and made it possible to substantiate technical requirements for modern technological lines. In recent years, the Altai Region has seen an accelerated introduction of technically equipped post-harvest handling technologies using not only domestic but also foreign-made machinery. The construction of grain and seed cleaning units and complexes is mainly carried out in two directions: according to standard designs based on serially produced technological equipment for grain cleaning and drying and according to individual designs based on modern domestic and foreign-made equipment. Foreign manufacturers are actively involved in this work. Thus, the development of these areas, the introduction of promising equipment and the improvement of technological processes should be carried out taking into account modern achievements in the field of production of grain and seed cleaning machines and technological equipment. This approach to the development of technological lines for post-harvest grain handling is especially important for agricultural enterprises with different forms of ownership. The experience suggests that the introduction of technological lines for post-harvest grain handling made according to individual projects solves a number of important problems of further development of technologies and increase of cleaning efficiency. The developed technology of seed cleaning based on grain cleaning machines and equipment of the Julite Company (China) was introduced in the harvesting period of 2024. In the future, it is supposed to monitor the operation of the seed cleaning line built according to an individual project developed by specialists of the technical and agricultural universities as well as the design and engineering department of the OOO AltayEKOsort Company (Barnaul).
