Improved Calculation Methodology for Cycle Harvesting of Milled Peat
Tver State Technical University, 22 Af. Nikitin Street, 170026, Tver, Russia
The article presents the calculation methods for cycle harvesting of milled peat. They are recommended for the three flow sheets of milled peat production: (a) a method based on a mechanical extraction by means of tanker harvesters; (b) a separate method of peat harvesting and transporting to large stacks and (c) a method based on pneumatic peat harvesting. Positive and negative aspects of the given methods are described and the improved calculation methods for cycle harvesting of milled peat are offered. The proposed methods take into account the weather conditions of a peat production region, the decrease in the initial moisture in the second and subsequent cycles after precipitation, due to the loss of fragmented peat from the previous cycle. A drying rate reduction factor is introduced into calculations in view of the uneven spread of milled crumbs. The performed calculations show that the reduced to 15% cycle harvests are possible to use in a design in comparison with those calculated by the previous technical design standards.
