Abstract

Here, theoretical studies of energy consumption in rotor fertilizer spreaders operation have been given. Multi-blade rotor fertilizer spreaders have been suggested to enhance quality of fertilizer distribution. Expressions for determining all the elements of total power on the rotor shaft, such as power for translating kinetic energy to the distributed material; power for striking and granulating distributed material with blades; power for overcoming friction forces of the material on the rotor blades; power for overcoming air friction to rotor rotation; power for overcoming friction in rotor support have been determined during theoretical studies. Experimental data provide dependencies of rotor power intake on their design parameters.
