RESEARCH ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE VIBRATORY SYSTEM FOR IN OPERATION AND MANUFACTURING PLOUGHS

The use of modern agricultural ploughs, along with conservation techniques and alternative seeding systems, remains at the forefront of achieving better agricultural yields and therefore the success of any tillage operation. In this context, it becomes a priority to find a new, original solution regarding the constructive-functional modification of the agricultural plough with the maintenance of performance, and above all, at the same time, with the significant reduction of fuel consumption and implicitly CO2 emissions. Knowing the technological challenges, a group of researchers from the enterprise IRUM S.A. in effective collaboration with the research organization INMA Bucharest and UTCN have created an innovative vibrating system intended for ploughs in operation and manufacturing within an innovative technological project financed by the Operational Competitiveness Program (POC). This paper presents the research carried out on the development of the innovative vibratory system for agricultural ploughs within the design, optimization and virtual testing activities using specialized CAD-CAE programs to analyze the robustness and performance of the prototype. Research results have contributed to reducing design validation time and manufacturing costs.
