INTEGRATION OF THE GRINDING FUNCTION WITH A CEREAL THRESHER FOR THE RECOVERY OF CROP RESIDUES IN COMPOSTING

The objective of this article is to design and characterize the technical performance agricultural residue grinding function integrated into operation a multi-purpose cereal thresher. For farmer, equipment will have advantage realize out threshing, grinding, water pumping. Water pumping allowwatering residues after their grinding.The Functional Analysis (FA) was used identify new useful functions solutions for be design. multifunctional thresher-grinder has been designed manufactured. Grinding tests compared manual machete cutting corn rice were performed. results show that production times per tonne broyats are higher than those more 61%. size reduced from 17 72%, diameter 71 80% cutting. These as benchmarks testing other types residues.
