The article presents a device to obtain soybean milk, Tofu soybean curd, a soy protein base for feed preparation for farm animals and poultry as a product of soybean grain processing. The device combines a number of technological operations, such as grinding the grain of legumes to obtain fine grinding, the extraction of soy protein into the emulsion and the separation of the protein emulsion into two homogeneous fractions: a liquid protein base (soy milk) and undissolved residue – Okara. The kinematics of the movement of soybean grain in a soaked form over the abrasive surface of a cone with curved grooves applied is considered, a final formula for the speed of movement of the grain is obtained. The volumetric and mass productivity of the grain chopper is determined theoretically and experimentally depending on the main factors affecting the process.
In order to provide the livestock industry in the Russian agro-industrial complex with a feed of the right quantity and quality, it is necessary to conduct research on the design and creation of a set of technical tools, applicable to large, medium and small farms. Scientific researches and development on the design and creation of models of such tools are carried out at the Department of Mechanization of animal husbandry and life safety of FSBEI HE Kuban SAU. In particular, the design of the gear-type pelletizer with the main working body consisting of a matrix with pressing channels and gears, engaged in the complex motion when rolling the matrix, was developed. The working process of pressing the material consisting of crushed grain fractions, by the pelletizer, was described. As a result of theoretical substantiation the significant formulas of channel outlet pressure and pelletizer’s performance were derived by the end of the article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
