ANÁLISE DO CONJUNTO DE VIBRAÇÃO DE UMA COLHEDORA DE CAFÉ VIA ANÁLISE DE VIBRAÇÕES

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the vibration set of a coffee harvester. Such an approach is justified due to the increased demand for this equipment to mechanize coffee harvesting. Interest in this study arose from the large flow of use of coffee harvesters, and also, due to doubts about the monitoring of the equipment in the workplace. The purpose of this work is to analyze the melting rods of a coffee harvester, via vibration analysis, in order to know the dynamic behavior in terms of amplitude and frequency of vibration and the effects on the harvest, aiming productivity. Based on this information, we aim to improve knowledge regarding its entire operation and seek information and data that can increase productivity without causing damage to the plant. This purpose will be achieved through bibliographic research in articles, theses and dissertations that explain the subject and experimental data. The field tests were performed in the city of Varginha, Minas Gerais, using a self-propelled coffee harvester, model JX2000, manufactured by the company Jaguar Machinery.
