    Globale Probleme wie Klimawandel und Bevölkerungswachstum zwingen die Landwirtschaft immer mehr zum Handeln. Sie muss immer produktiver werden, um die im Jahr 2050 auf 9 Mrd. Menschen angewachsene Weltbevölkerung zu ernähren. 2017 stand die Agritechnica unter dem Leitmotiv "Green Future – Smart Technology". Dieses Motiv spiegelt auch die technischen Entwicklungen im Bereich der Körnerkonservierung der letzten Jahre wieder. Die Hersteller präsentieren vielfältige Lösungen, mit denen die Landwirte noch effizienter und ressourcenschonender produzieren können sollen. Die Ressource Energie liegt nach Rohstoff und Personal an dritter Stelle im Kostengefüge landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe [1]. Der Trend zur weiteren Automatisierung von Prozessen, verbunden mit intelligenten Datenmanagementsystemen ist dabei ungebrochen. Auch die Forderung nach mehr Nachhaltigkeit dringt verstärkt auf die Höfe.Global challenges such as climate change and increase of human population increasingly force the worldwide agriculture to action. Agriculture must become more productive in order to feed a growing population that reaches 9 billion in 2050. The "Agritechnica" fair in 2017 had the guiding theme "Green Future – Smart Technology". This key note has also been reflected by the technological developments in the area of grain preservation over the last years. The producers present manifold technical solutions for more efficient and resources saving production of the farmers. Behind resources and personnel, the resource energy ranges at third position within the cost structure of agricultural enterprises [1]. The trend of further process automation is unbroken associated with intelligent data management systems. In addition, the farmers are increasingly faced with the requirements for sustainability

    Aufgrund zunehmender Überschneidung der Erntefenster verschiedener Druschfrüchte muss die Landwirtschaft eine ausreichende Maschinenleistung vorhalten, um möglichst große Erntemengen zum optimalen Zeitpunkt vom Feld zu holen. Durch unbeständiges Wetter in der Erntezeit schwankt der Konservierungsbedarf von Jahr zu Jahr zwischen 30 und 70 %. Die Ansprüche an eine Zwischenlagerung und Konservierung sind daher vielfältig. Die Getreideanlagen müssen also große Mengen in kurzer Zeit verarbeiten und zwischenlagern können. Die Betriebsabläufe müssen von Jahr zu Jahr weiter optimiert werden.Due to an increasing overlap of the harvesting windows of different crops, the farmers have to provide sufficient machine power in order to harvest as large as possible amounts of grain at an optimum point in time. As caused by contrary weather conditions in the harvesting period, the demand for preservation fluctuates between 30 % and 70 % year by year. Therefore, the requirements for intermediate storage and preservation are manifold. Thus, grain facilities must be able to process and to store temporarily large amounts of crop. The operating procedures are being further optimized year by year

    Betriebseigene Getreideanlagen sind für die Mehrzahl der Erzeuger nach wie vor unverzichtbar. Eine zunehmende Überschneidung der Erntefenster, steigende Mähdreschkapazitäten und daraus resultierende Anforderungen an die Logistik zwingen viele Betriebe zum Neubau bzw. zur Erweiterung ihrer Anlagen. Die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und Senkung der Verfahrenskosten stehen im Fokus aktueller Forschung und Entwicklung.In-house grain plants are still indispensable for the majority of producers. Due to a growing overlap of harvest times, increasing capacity of the harvesters and the resulting requirements for the logistic, more and more farmers are forced to build new facilities or extend existing plants. The actual research and development is focused on increasing energy efficiency and lowering process costs

    [EN] o validate the particle motion in flighted rotating drum (FRD), a laboratory FRD was built and operated at 15% filling degree and 10 rpm rotation speed using plastic balls as bed material. The particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and magnetic particle tracking (MPT) techniques were applied to investigate the particle flow behavior. The 3D particle flow was modeled by Discrete Element Method (DEM) with LIGGGHTS. The height of the barycenter of all overall particles and particle instantaneous velocity were calculated from PTV and DEM data. The 3D time-averaged particle velocity distributions obtained from MPT experiment and DEM simulation were compared.Zhang, L.; Weigler, F.; Jiang, Z.; Idakiev, V.; Mörl, L.; Mellmann, J.; Tsotsas, E.

    Investigation of the drying airflow at a newly developed dryer geometry for mixed flow grain dryers

    The mixed-flow dryer has been a matter of investigation many times regarding drying efficiency, dryer control, and performance enhancement over the past years. However, there is still considerable demand for optimization in terms of energy efficiency and homogeneity of drying. In order to analyze the specific energy consumption and the homogeneity of the drying process, different thermodynamic process conditions have been investigated for the conventional MFD design using numerical and experimental methods. Based on the results obtained, a novel dryer design has been developed. With this, a considerable increase of efficiency is expected. As the fluid dynamic analysis of the first design draft revealed, further development is required until scaling-up and transfer into practice will be possible. While homogeneous airflow conditions could be demonstrated in the core flow region in the center of the dryer, the configuration must be optimized in the near wall regions
