The article gives the description and grounding of the rational design factors of the possing machine with the purpose to avoid bulbs damages and provide the maximum capacity of the improved separating hump

The description of crusher of potato tops with the variable diameter of cutting is given in article. Theory of planning of experiment, the dynamics of joint knives and laboratory-field tests of crusher are also considered

The influence of a superficial plastic deformation and a corner of installation of a roller on the diagram of specific normal pressure and contact forces of friction is shown in the article

The article found that the corrosion rate of diffusion of brass alloys in an acidic environment reduced with increasing of zinc content in the coatings. High protec-tion can have 14 ÷ 20 at.% Zn

In the article, it is established that in the market conditions of economic recession of repair production, the traditional technological decisions focused on mass and business lot type, have lost the practical importance. Increase of the efficiency of drawing of wearproof coverings with the electropulse way is based on the use of technological possibilities of the way and the principles of technical self-sufficiency of small repair shops. For that, the combined way of processing, replacing use of the traditional technological equipment, with obtaining quality comparable to the existing technologies has been developed

The article describes the device that allows to take immediate measurements of soil moisture while harvesting potatoes and to identify optimum fluctuation modes of the working element in it

In the article, the identification device was developed which is able to separate the potato tubers with high maintenance of chlorophyll from the other tubers by analyzing graphic information of potato tubers in the course of sorting

The research results presented in this article are intended to familiarize themselves with promising avenue to improve the quality of potato harvesters by improving the process of separation, as well as working bodies for its implementation

The article has developed the device for non-contact distance measurement, which effectively terrain surface with no mechanical contact with her, just maintaining the distance from the cutting unit to the soil surface

The article found that the distribution of the normal components of the along the length of the samples has no significant features associated with different magnetic characteristics, so the magnetization modes of an additive powder on the details of uncertain chemical composition must be installed on the tangential component of the magnetic field
