Picking up the oil flax yield with the stem part usage investigation

Goal. To establish the possibility of using the stem portion of the flaxseed crop grown in the climatic conditions of the Western Polesie in order to increase the efficiency and environmental safety of its utilization. Method. For research, analytical and calculation methods were used. The values of the indicators are obtained experimentally with the help of modern measuring instruments in accordance with the current normative and technical documents. Results. The article shows the main results of theoretical and experimental studies of the processes of gathering and processing of the stem portion of oilseed flax crop. An algorithm describing the technological process of collecting flaxseed oil is proposed taking into account the phase of its maturity and weather conditions, which influence the choice of the method of collection and further use of the stem portion of the crop. In the scientific approach, flax is considered to be a culture of non-waste production, but for the territory of Western Polesie the barrier in the widespread distribution of flax has become a high stem, which can reach one meter. The production of flax in the conditions of Western Polessie is imperfect and requires the modernization of operations collection to use the full potential of the plant. The main problem, which is not solved to date, is the burning of the stem portion of the crop. To preserve the crop, a technology of collecting flax with the maturity phase and processing of the stems for further in the textile or the manufacture of fuel materials with the use of a combine harvester of an improved design was proposed. Estimation of the consumer properties of flax indicates its significant potential as raw material for the textile industry. However, the difficulties encountered in trimming the stems require the search for new directions for the use of fiber mass, which is formed during the flax harvesting with a seed combine harvester. In accordance with the weather conditions of collection and primary processing in this season and in the conditions of Western Polesie, from the flax stems it is possible to obtain qualitative short, unoriented fiber or fuel materials of a cylindrical shape. For both cases, an operation is required to destroy the stems. Novelty. The Technology of Integrated Processing of the biological potential of OilseedFlax for the production of goods of various functional purposes was proposed adapted to the naturalclimatic conditions of Western Polessye. Practical significance. The proposed Technology f Integrated Processing will increase the efficiency of using oilseed flax in the conditions of Western Polesie and will satisfy the ecological requirements
