Annotation

The article considers the scientific and applied aspects of substantiating the geometric and tribotechnical parameters of the working chamber of screw pumping systems designed for the transportation and forming of minced meat with different rheological properties. The relevance of the research is driven by the need to improve the energy efficiency of food raw material processing while ensuring the preservation of the structural and mechanical characteristics of the product's protein matrix.

The paper analyzes the influence of contact interaction between the minced meat and the surfaces of the screw and the working chamber, in particular the ratio of friction coefficients, on the formation of a stable transport flow. It has been established that the determining factor of efficient pumping is the provision of frictional asymmetry, which prevents the phenomenon of wall slip and ballast rotation of the product. To increase the traction capacity of the chamber, it is proposed to modify its inner surface by forming longitudinal grooves, which promote the transition from external friction “product–metal” to internal shear «product-product».

The expediency of using a confuser (conical) geometry in the pre-die zone of the working chamber is substantiated, which ensures a gradual increase in pressure, sealing of the working space, and reduction of backflows of minced meat through the radial clearance. It is proven that the geometric transformation of the channel contributes to the stabilization of the velocity field and the reduction of hydraulic losses.

A mathematical model of the process of transporting a viscoelastic medium has been developed. The regularities of the influence of the radial clearance, velocity parameters, and rheological characteristics of the raw material on the intensity of energy dissipation and the thermal regime of the process have been established. It is shown that excessive reduction of the clearance leads to local overheating and degradation of protein structures, while its optimization allows minimizing energy losses.

The conducted kinematic analysis made it possible to determine the relationships describing the mode of minced meat transportation, in particular the ratio of velocities and the conditions of flow continuity. Differences in the behavior of minced meat of various rheological groups and their influence on the design parameters of screw systems have been established. 

The proposed approaches can be used in the design and modernization of food industry equipment.

 

Keywords: screw pump, working chamber, minced meat, rheological properties, tribotechnical characteristics, radial clearance, mass transfer, energy dissipation, energy efficiency.
