Evaluation of Autotrenes en the transportation of sugar cane en the Sugar Company "Arquimedes Colina Antunas" using harvesters for sugar cane case A 7000 (Original)

Abstract

This work was performed at the Sugar Company “Arquímedes Colina" Granma. Aiming to evaluate the performance of the transport unit by calculating the coefficient of utilization of capacity, use the route, the use of working time, speed and technical mining rates with these machines harvesters. The work was done in the firing mechanical cutting in areas belonging to the company, by calculating the different indicators that determine the performance of transport units with harvesters (Case A 7000), which in this case were the trucks Beiba. The analysis method used is analytical-research, using the technique of photo timing for the transport process and data collection, as determined by the methodology for determining the exploitative rates that characterize the performance of transport units (as Companioni 1992). For statistical processing we used the Statgraphics Plus 5.1 software Esp Where the main results were: The use of load factor is low to 0.87 while the optimal body is 0.95 to 0.98, obtained technical speed is 36 km h ^-1and the range is 60 to 80 km.h^-1 and the operating speed is well below the stated range is 15.4 km h 45 to 55 km h.^-1
