Justification of parameters of mower windrower for sesame harvesting

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of developing a device for harvesting sesame, characterized by the best technological indicators. For high quality harvesting of sesame seeds with minimal losses, the design and technological parameters of a segment-tine mower are taken as the basis. The main task when developing a mower is to minimize its mechanical impact on plants and reduce the shedding of sesame seeds. Schemes of the technological process of work are given devices for mowing sesame bushes and the design of a sesame mower. To reduce the mechanical impact and shedding of grain, the optimal length and installation angle of the windrower relative to the direction of movement were determined.
