Theoretical considerations on the factors influencing the processing of hemp stalks

The present work is achieved based on the processing of the data accumulated over time, within the activity of research, technological engineering, and testing of machines for processing agricultural products in the last years, as well as studying the specialized literature with the latest achievements of some companies that make machinery for processing agricultural products. The compression of the hemp stalks for processing is analyzed, the main characteristics of the working rolls, the specific energy consumed are determined and an analysis of the obtained fiber length is performed. In order to develop a technical equipment for processing hemp stalks that ensures high performance, the following aspects were studied: the constructive and functional factors of a technical equipment that influence the working processes in order to choose a performance solution for processing hemp stalks. In the last part of the paper, the main technical and functional characteristics of a high-performance technical equipment for processing the hemp stalks harvested in green are established.
