M. Safari; M. A. Rostami

Volume 13, Issue 3 , September 2023, , Pages 309-319

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.2022.75175.1091

Abstract
  IntroductionIn conventional combine harvesters, wheat chaff is typically removed from the end of the machine and deposited on the field surface. Depending on the wheat cultivar, cultivation method, and growing conditions, the amount of chaff produced can range from 0.8 to 1.5 times the amount of grain ...  Read More

Abstract
  Introduction One of the most important risk factors for developing musculoskeletal disorders is the inappropriate work of postures and since maintaining the health of the workforce promotes community development. Therefore, the workforce should be in an appropriate working environment without any harmful ...  Read More

Qualitative and Quantitative Features Evaluation of Two Methods of Sugarcane Harvesting (with aim of Energy and Sugar Production)

K. Andekaeizadeh; M. J. Sheikhdavoodi; M. Byria

Volume 8, Issue 1 , 2018, , Pages 212-221

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v8i1.53629

Abstract
  Introduction Sugarcane is an important plant in the world that cultivate for the production of sugar and energy. For this purpose, evaluation of Sugarcane (SC) and Energycane (EC) methods is necessary. Energy is vital for economic and social development and the demand for it is rising. The international ...  Read More

Field Evaluation of Cereal Combine Harvesters Processing Losses on JD-955 and JD-1165 Combines Equipped with Grain Loss Monitor

M. R. Mostofi Sarkari; M. S. Valiahdi; I. Ranjbar

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

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

H. Ghorbanpour; M. H. Khoshtaghaza; M. R. Mostofi Sarkari

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

Optimum Adjustments of Cereal Combine Harvester Platform for Canola Harvesting by Using of a Simulated Platform

M. Soleimani; M. Kasraei

Volume 2, Issue 2 , 2012

https://doi.org/10.22067/jam.v2i2.15094

Abstract
  In recent decades, canola has been considered as the most important oilseed. Harvesting is the most major problem of canola cultivation, since canola pods are very sensitive to shocks and vibrations. Large amount of produce will fall on the ground especially when the combine's head is not adjusted properly. ...  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
