JUSTIFICATION OF ROTOR SPEED OF RADIAL HONEY SEPARATOR WITH THE HORIZONTAL FULCRUM PIN

The purpose of research is increase in effectiveness of pumping of honey in the separator of radial type with a horizontal spin axis of a rotor. Use radial a separator allows to make honey pumping on both sides of a frame at once and places larger quantity of a frames. The radial separator consists of housing and a rotor. The rotor is set in motion via the belt drive manually or the electric motor. The rotation frequency of a rotor of a separator is the major technology factor influencing honey pumping process. With increase in a rotation frequency the centrifugal force providing a honey exit from honeycombs of a frame increases. The high rotation frequency of a rotor with a framework, can lead to destruction of a wax basis of a cellular frame. Low the rotation frequency can become the reason of inexact pumping of honey from honeycombs. In the course of centrifugation the honey which is contained in everyone unit is affected by the gravity, a centripetal force, tangential force of shift of layers of honey, force of reaction of walls of honeycombs. As a result of calculation it is established that the rotation frequency of a rotor depends on such parameters as viscosity of honey, geometrical parameters of honeycombs, distances of honeycombs from a separator rotor spin axis. In the course of work there will be first of all a honey honeycombs located further from a rotor axis. Decrease in cooperative weight of a frame will allow to keep its wholeness and to gradually increase a separator rotor rotation frequency.
