ROOT CROP WASHER Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A23N12/02 B08B3/02 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural engineering. Device contains a wash tub with a drainage hole and a loading window. The lower part of the tub is shaped like a hollow, straight truncated cone with a smaller base facing downwards. The tub is equipped with a screw conveyor on a vertical drive shaft with a discharge window for dispensing of finished products. The screw conveyor is encased and the intake spout is designed as a driven screw in the form of a hollow truncated cone with a large base facing downward, the screw is equipped with blades on the inner surface that are installed with a gap relative to the screw casing. The lower part of the shaft is fitted with a plank, on which two rods are positioned vertically and symmetrically in relation to the rotation shaft axis and closer to the shaft segments. There are at least four nozzles connected to the bottom of the tub from the outer side of the tub, the axial lines of which cross the conventional rotation surface of the rods around the shaft rotation axis in the upper part and converge to a point on the shaft rotation axis located closer to the lower cut of the intake nozzle. At the inlet, the nozzle cavities are connected to a pipe, to which a pipe with a valve supplying fluid from a pump or compressor is connected.

EFFECT: invention provides for improving a root crop washing quality.
