Abstract :This study was aimed to determine the effect of the two different blade types (K1 =40°; K1 =90°), three different fan rotation number (A1=925 min-1; A2=833 min-1; A3=735 min-1) and three different eccentric rotation number (E1=357 min-1; E2=312 min-1; E3=277 min-1) on separation (cleaning) performance for local type thresher. For this purpose, the effects of blade types, the ratio of fan and eccentric rotation number from independent parameters to total grain losses ratio (damaged grain separa-tion ratio, cleaning losses ratio, unthreshed out grain ratio) and cleaning ratio were determined. Air velocity, damaged grain separation ratio, cleaning losses ratio, unthreshed out grain ratio, total grain losses ratio, cleaning ratio in K1 blade type varied as 12.63...15.51 ms-1, 0.75...1.18 %, 0.27...2.56 %,0.34...0.66 %,1.78...4.19 %, 95.39...98.35 %, in K2 blade type16.75...20.81 ms-1,0.76...1.05 %,0.32...2.38 %,0.29...0.71 %,1.64...3.68 %, 97.17...99.17 % respectively. The more homegeneous air velocity profilles, higher air velocity, air flow rate, cleaning ratio, lower total grain losses ratio values were obtained at K2 blade type. The most suitable working combination was determined as K2A3E3.Keywords : Harman makinası, aspiratör kanat tipi, tane kayıpları, ayırma performansı.
