Field studies of the wave roller

Abstract

The article presents a description of a fundamentally new design of a soil-cultivating wave roller and presents the results of its research. Adequate mathematical models of the soil rolling process are presented from the standpoint of compliance with the reference values of its density and aggregate composition. Thanks to the research, it was found that the quality of rolling by the developed wave roller is 20.9% better than that of the KKZ-6 roller commercially produced by the industry. To obtain the most high-quality rolling result, the developed wave roller determined its main design and operating parameters optimized for the process of surface tillage, namely: the speed of movement and the distance from the edge of the hollow cylinder to the inner surface of the compactor.
