Abstract

The use of modular-assembly principle of design engineering of working bodies of sowing machines can increase the versatility; reduce metal intensity and power capacity of executable sowing process flows. The performed analysis of design features of seeding apparatus for growing small-seeded crops such as fiver flax, spring rape, clover, showed the presence of abnormalities of qualitative parameters on the requirements for the area of plant nutrition, uniform distribution of seeds in a row and on the width of the planter. The aim of the research work is the creation of the laboratory facility for identification of optimum performance indicators and dependencies of disk pneumatic feed on the pre-set values and modes of peration, as well as the processing of the experimental data.
