The parameters influencing the suction efficiency of peat pneumatic harvesters are listed. Among them are the distance from the nozzle to the underlying surface and the angle of the nozzle. Since there is very little information and recommendations on the rational values of these parameters, it was decided, using a specially designed installation, to conduct a laboratory experiment to assess the air flow velocity, depending on the distance from the nozzle, the angle of the nozzle and the height of the nozzle above the underlying surface of the deposit. The results of the experiment are presented. It is shown, that the rational angle of the nozzle at this stage of research can be considered an angle of 30±5°. In practice, it is impossible to reproduce the zero distance from the nozzle to the underlying surface; therefore, it is recommended to limit the height of 25 mm, which is equal to the maximum size of the conditioned peat crumb. It is noted, that for more accurate results, it is necessary to carry out the following series of experimental works to assess the parameters of suction of peat chips with specific physical and mechanical characteristics.
