A research station with a two-disc cutting unit for studying the cutting process of energy

摘要

The paper presents the construction of a new research station for studying the cutting process of energy plants. The station consists of 3 basic units: a truck with drive and cutting units, a frame which is a guide for the truck moving on it, and a base for placing the plant’s stems. The station allows to determine the unitary energy of the cutting process for various rotary and travelling speeds of the cutting unit and for various sizes, spacing and angles of inclination of the cutting discs. It also allows to form freely the cut plants’ stems’ sockets.
