Evolution of a Potato, Fluidized Bed Medium Separator

Abstract

ABSTRACT EVOLUTION of a potato fluidized bed medium (FBM) separator is described. Two schemes of introducing a potato-clod-stone mixture into the FBM were theoretically evaluated and experimentally examined under field conditions. Three experimental potato FBM separators were developed and tested in the framework of these schemes. Results of preliminary theoretical considerations and tests of the separators are reported.
