DEVICE FOR WASHING ROOT CROPS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A23N12/02 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural engineering, in particular to devices for washing root crops. The device additionally contains a hopper for preliminary soaking of root crops. The washing bath is made with the formation of a blank flat partition on the side of the loading window. In the lower part of the partition, an unloading window of the hopper is formed, in which a damper is installed with the possibility of moving along the guides perpendicular to the flow of root crops. The damper is equipped with a screw mechanism for its drive, which includes a screw pair "nut-screw". The nut is rigidly attached to the baffle in its upper part, and the screw is formed on the damper shaft. The lower part of this shaft is fixed in the shutter with the possibility of free rotation in it, and a handle is attached to its upper part. The length of the screw part and its location on the damper shaft make it possible to install the damper in the lower position when the bunker unloading window is closed, as well as in the upper position when the hopper unloading window is open.

EFFECT: use of the invention will improve the quality of washing root crops.
