Abstract
GIL P., Sneider Alejandro and B., Albeiro Espinosa. A hammer mill power evaluation from sugarcane bagasse processing. Rev. Cienc. Agr. [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.1, pp.93-108. ISSN 0120-0135. https://doi.org/10.22267/rcia.193601.101.
The Panela production is an important item of the Colombian economy. This agricultural industry has a low technification and uses mechanically inefficient machines that cause high- energy consumption. This work aims to check the power consumption of a hammer mill during the sugarcane bagasse processing. A Voltiamperimetric clamp recorded the current, voltage and phase angle information for a period, simultaneously adding controlled loads of bagasse at regular intervals. It was found that there is a relationship between the load and the power consumption, which was adjusted by a quadratic model whose correlation coefficient is 0.99.
