Abstract

In this article we present the results of the experimental research regarding the work regime optimization of the grain cylinder separators, with regard to its rotation speed. The researched elements were the energetic consumption, technological effect and the percent of the good grain beans lost in sub products. The experimental researches were made on an adapted technical stand correspondingly equipped and on a normal cylinder separator type TCU-5, existing in INMA - Bucharest laboratory, based on a program judiciously prepared and rigorously transposed into practice. The apparatus that we used was state-of-the-art, therefore the obtained results have the necessary credibility.
