Abstract
The article presents the task of significantly increasing the efficiency of the rotary-milling snow cleaner and its performance without increasing the energy consumption for the work process (power), which will allow performing work on breaking snow blockages with a smaller number of machines, or in significantly less time. It has been established that during the operation of a rotary-milling snowplow, a serious complex problem arises, which consists in the fact that snow part is thrown forward by a screw feeder, forming a drawing prism. This increases the energy consumption for the development of snow and for moving the machine in the snow mass and at the same time reduces the snowplow productivity. Elimination of the drawing prism due to the use of an intensifier, for example, of a blade type, will reduce the energy consumption for the working movement of the snowplow. Thus, a decrease in the energy intensity of snow development and an increase in the efficiency of the working equipment of a rotary-milling snowplow based on the intensification of its working process is currently the most promising direction for improving this type machines.
