Abstract:
In view of the mismatch between forage harvesting, processing, and drying technologies, an internal-forced stage forage drying technology was developed through the analysis and research of forage harvesting and processing technology. Heat and mass balance calculations were carried out, and key components and intelligent control systems were designed based on the forage baling drying process. The drying test of the equipment was evaluated and analyzed based on the main parameters of the designed drying equipment. A new pin-type forage baling drying equipment was designed and developed based on this technology. The experiment showed that the equipment can dry forage bales with a moisture content of about 35%. The forage bales can be dried evenly, with a moisture content less than 17% after drying. The treatment capacity reached 917 kg/h, meeting the design requirements. The results confirmed that the internal-forced stage forage drying technology is feasible and that the new forage baling drying equipment is advanced, which provides a technical reference for the further optimization of forage baling drying equipment.
