Mathematical Model of the Energetic Consumption for Soil Digging Machines in Greenhouses

Abstract

Preparing the germination bed in greenhouses can be done by several technologies, most of them including soil digging with a special machine manufactured for this purpose. The main disadvantage of this machine refers to the relatively high energetic consumption, which increases the work cost. Starting from the working process executed by the machine, the total energetic consumption is decomposed in representative components, for which the energetic computation relations are given. Finally a complex and general relation of the energetic consumption is obtained, by which interesting processing optimization solutions are being offered for this important functional parameter, available for designers and manufactures but also for users.
