Avaliação de um protótipo de trilhadora de fluxo radial para sorgo (sorghum bicolor).

Abstract

A thresher radial flux model for sorghum was evaluated according to an index of grains loss due to course deficiency two serial tests were applied using sorghum grains from different places. Trials were carried out in a factorial design,where the variables were: peripheric speed and level of grains moisture content. A 3 loss index was obtained when peripheric speed applied was 18 m/s and the level of grains ranging between 12-16%.moisture content.
