Development of a homogenizer-disperser of liquid fodder for pigs

During the experiment, dependencies were established as follows: changes in the content of particles sized 0-0.5 mm in the mixture (k_fr, %) as a function of rotor rotation frequency (n, rpm), stator inlet orifice diameter (D_in, m), and equipment operation time (t, s); changes in the mixture stratification index (i_d, %) as a function of rotor rotation frequency (n, rpm), stator inlet orifice diameter (D_in, m), and equipment operation time (t, s); changes in the mixture temperature (T, °C) as a function of rotor rotation frequency (n, rpm), stator inlet orifice diameter (D_in, m), and equipment operation time (t, s); changes in the power consumption of the motor (N, kW) as a function of rotor rotation frequency (n, rpm), stator inlet orifice diameter (D_in, m), and equipment operation time (t, s); and changes in energy consumption (E, MJ) for the process execution as a function of rotor rotation frequency (n, rpm), stator inlet orifice diameter (D_in, m), and equipment operation time (t, s). Under the condition where the parameter id is less than 5% and the efficiency E_Q needs to be minimized, the optimal value of equipment operation time t for different types of input material is observed within the range of 45.1-50.4 min. Additionally, there is a slight change in the specific energy consumption E_Q depending on the type of cereal crops used during the experiment. The lowest specific energy consumption is observed when using soybeans - 0.696 MJ/kg, wheat - 0.794 MJ/kg, and barley - 0.896 MJ/kg.
