Volume 4, Issue 2 , 2014, , Pages 335-343

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v4i2.29077

Abstract
  Grain loss monitors are installed on combine harvester and make it possible to measure grain loss on different parts of the combine. The instrument permits the operator to adjust a proper ground speed to keep grain loss within an acceptable range. In this study a loss monitoring system was implemented ...  Read More

Technical and Economical Evaluations of Canola Harvesting Losses in Different Maturity Stages Using Three Different Combine Harverster Heads

Volume 3, Issue 2 , 2013, , Pages 154-162

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v3i2.25172

Abstract
  Rapeseed cultivation in Iran is growing rapidly while this product has been facing specific problems. Every year a significant portion of edible oil is imported to the country from other countries. Despite this deficit, a great amount of canola is being lost every year. Therefore, in compliance with ...  Read More

Effect of Frequency and Vibration Time on Shaker Performance for Mechanized Harvesting of Orange (Thomson cultivar)

Volume 2, Issue 2 , 2012

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v2i2.15093

Abstract
  Manual citrus harvesting is commonly performing hard, expensive and time consuming. In this study, a factorial experiment with a completely randomized design in three replications was performed to find out the effect of frequency (three levels of 5, 7.5 and 10 Hz), vibration time (three levels of 10, ...  Read More

Investigation and Determination of Corn Combine Harvester Losses to Introduce Appropriate Methods to Reduce Losses

M. R. Mostofi Sarkari

Volume 1, Issue 1 , 2011

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v1i1.10073

Abstract
  Corn harvesting involves some losses. These losses result in decreased benefits. It is almost impossible to lower losses to zero percent but it can be controlled in an acceptable level. As a result of this research, appropriate methods are introduced to decrease losses and reduce waste. In this project, ...  Read More
