The growth of the population in the world provides increased demand for soy and its processing products. Because in low-income countries, soy and its processing products are used as a cheap vegetable protein for human nutrition, and in developed countries - as a valuable protein raw material in animal feed. The article calculates the cost of 1 kg of raw protein in protein feeds of plant and animal origin. The cost of vegetable feed per 1 kg of protein is 1.5-3.5 times lower than the cost of animal feed. The dynamics of global soybean production are shown, which indicates that in 2023/24 it was about 395 million tons. The main soybeanproducing countries are Brazil, the USA, and Argentina, whose share in the total world production is more than 80%. The dynamics of soybean production and processing in Ukraine is presented. The largest soybean processors in Ukraine are such companies as Bunge, AdamPolSoya, Cargill, Kreativ OEP, Kyiv-Atlantic, Royal Taste, Vinnytsia OEP and others. The soybean market in Ukraine demonstrates significant success both in cultivation and in export and processing. Despite the difficult conditions caused by military actions and economic challenges, Ukrainian farmers were able to reach historical highs in the production and export of soybeans, ensuring high product quality and competitive prices on the world market. Soy is an export-oriented crop, about ? of which is delivered abroad in the form of raw materials or processed products. The largest importers of Ukrainian soybeans are the European Union, Egypt and Turkey. In connection with the innovations in the supply of soybeans to the EU, soybean producers must not only grow (use of high-quality, certified seed material, mineral fertilizers, general production and administrative costs), but also have a certificate of traceability and confirmation of the absence of deforestation throughout the production chain. Since the violation of EUDR provisions can lead to serious consequences and sanctions, namely fines of up to 4% of the total annual turnover of the enterprise for the previous financial year, confiscation of products, temporary exclusion from procurement procedures and access to public funding, including tender procedures and subsidies

The article diagnoses the prospects for the development of enterprises for the processing of solid household waste (SHW). It is specified that improving the quality of services provided by enterprises and the transition to European standards in the field of removal, utilization and processing of solid waste is a top priority, as Ukraine seeks to become a member of the EU in the future. It is noted that recycling is an important component of sustainable development and contributes to the creation of a more efficient and environmentally conscious economy for enterprises and the country. The most common types of solid waste recycling are presented, each of which is aimed at transforming a specific type of waste. The paper analyzes successful business cases that have already been implemented as a result of recycled solid waste and introduced into practice in other countries of the world. It is noted that some Ukrainian enterprises in collaboration with foreign partners have actively begun to implement similar cases. It is noted that a promising direction is the energy sector, which is currently also related to the processing of solid waste. It is noted that, even taking into account the active hostilities taking place on the territory of Ukraine, there are enterprises, organizations and institutions that are already actively working or just starting their business activities in the field of SHW processing. It is concluded that it is an important aspect, in particular, firstly, how the growing awareness of society about the problems of environmental pollution and the need to protect it creates a demand for environmentally friendly technologies and services, including waste recycling. Secondly, legislative and regulatory initiatives aimed at reducing waste and improving waste management create a favorable framework for the development of this sector. Thirdly, technological progress in the field of recycling makes it possible to create new products from waste and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Also, the development of this sector can stimulate investment and contribute to the creation of new jobs in the field of ecological economy. All this testifies to the potentially high investment attractiveness and prospects for the development of solid waste processing enterprises.

The article is devoted to the study of the emergence and formation of the human right to be forgotten as the right of an individual to request the removal of his or her personal data from public access through search engines, under certain conditions. It is found that the establishment of the right to be forgotten is often associated with one of the key decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union, namely, in the case of Google Spain v. Costeja Gonzalez, which has gained wide international publicity. However, it is important to note that freedom of speech and freedom of access to information are conflicting fundamental rights to the right to be forgotten. The right to privacy and the data protection regime do not exist in a vacuum: the right to privacy can often clash with other rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression, for example, in terms of censorship. The author analyses international judicial precedents regarding the acknowledgement of the right to be forgotten in the sphere of the digital human rights system, and finds that the rulings typically pertain to data that might drastically influence the fundamental rights to privacy and personal data protection. Furthermore, the courts explicitly assert their intention to achieve an equitable balance between these rights and the public's right to access information. Hence, the resolution of numerous conflicts is largely contingent on the factual context of each case. The author reviews the legal regulation of the right to be forgotten, in particular, the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation), the 1995 Data Protection Directive, as updated and supplemented by the above-mentioned Regulation, and the European Convention on Human Rights, etc. Although the concept of the right to be forgotten is not recognised in the Ukrainian legal system, the Law of Ukraine "On Personal Data Protection" states that deletion or destruction of personal data in the information landscape is possible upon filing a complaint or going to court.

In the modern world, composite materials have become more in demand and this is connected to the rapid development of mechanical engineering and aircraft construction. Most companies aim to improve the performance of their product and reduce the cost of manufacturing time, financing and production waste. The technology of manufacturing parts, assemblies and assembly units from composite materials is rapidly developing, but there are still a number of unresolved problems arising during their processing. The effect of delamination on the quality of the hole being processed is one of them. The quality of the opening is one of the main parameters of any design, how exactly this element can be used as a connecting element, which is responsible for the entire future assembly unit. When processing holes with a drill, a defect often occurs - delamination, which subsequently affects the quality and ability of the part to perform its functions. The problem of delamination in parts made of fibrous polymer composite materials is poorly studied. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review existing problems and methods of solving them. Stratifications that occur during the processing of holes are mostly formed as a result of incorrectly selected cutting modes, namely feed (S) and tool rotation speed (V), which in turn leads to a number of defects: cracks, chips, pulling out fibers, loosening) and with the subsequent formation of delamination. This article examined how important and correct it is to assess the size and area of damage during delamination in order to understand how to prevent this process. Therefore, after analyzing scientific works and understanding the process of formation of delamination, namely its assessment and its distribution in the treated area, it is possible to understand that the assessment of the size of delamination should take into account the following factors: the maximum diameter of the damaged area, the number and density of interlayer cracks, the area of delamination and cutting modes . Optimizing cutting modes and improving the geometric shape of the cutting tool makes it possible to minimize or even eliminate the delamination process for parts made of SPCM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Acknowledging the dependence of solving issues such as the application of ISO standards in the non-oil industry sector and the admission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the World Trade Organization on the condition of ensuring the quality and safety of goods and services, determination of the technical structure of production on the basis of project-estimate documents and proposals for regulating the distribution of income (profit) according to the capital structure and turnover rate should be evaluated as innovative development directions of management in the industry.

The review offers a comprehensive analysis of additive manufacturing (AM) processes in the application of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). HEAs have gained considerable attention in recent years due to their unique mechanical and physical properties. We provide the historical background and a clear definition of HEAs, outlining their development over time. The focus is concentrated on examining the utilization of AM processes in HEAs. Specifically, three prominent AM techniques are discussed: electron-beam processes, laser-processed HEAs, and wire-arc additive manufacturing. Each technique is explored in detail, including its advantages, restrictions, and current applications within the HEAs field. An attention is stressed on the significance of AM-process parameters during the fabrication of HEAs. Parameters such as laser power, scanning speed, and powder-feed rate are analysed for their influences on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the final product. The post-processing techniques for additive-manufactured HEAs are considered. The importance of steps such as heat treatment, surface finishing, and machining in achieving the desired material properties and dimensional accuracy in AM-produced HEA components is underlined. Overviewing the HEAs, their application in AM processes, the influence of process parameters, and post-processing considerations, this work can act as a useful source of information for researchers on the way to amendment of the understanding and implementation of AM in the HEAs.

In the article, on the basis of a review of scientific and regulatory sources, an attempt is made to carry out a generalized analysis of doctrinal approaches to the definition of the content of the «personal data» category, to reveal tendencies and emphasis in solving the corresponding scientific task. It is noted that with the rapid development of methods, processes and methods of using computing equipment and communication systems for the creation, collection, transmission, search, processing and distribution of information, the integration of artificial intelligence in all spheres of social life, including technological processes of collection, processing and protection of personal data, the need to review the theoretical foundations of the legal institution of personal data, updating doctrinal approaches to understanding and interpreting the categorical series in this area is becoming more urgent. It is emphasized separately that the features of the legal regime of martial law definitely leave their mark on the personal data protection mechanisms. As a result of a generalized review of doctrinal approaches to defining the content of the «personal data» category, the author recognized the presence of a clear tendency in recognizing the need to detail the legal definition of personal data, as well as making changes to special legislation in this area. As a rule, researchers consider personal data as a special type of information, an object of administrative and/or informational legal relations, an object of protection, etc. In scientific research in the area of the raised issue, emphasis is placed on the importance of developing classification models of personal data with a number of various criteria in order to determine as deeply and systematically as possible all the components of the specified category. In some studies, the thesis about the correctness of the correlation of personal data with other related concepts and categories is emphasized, which has a significant impact not only on the results of scientific research, but also on law enforcement practice in this area.

Due to the rapid growth of the population and the growing consumption of meat products, the issue of finding alternative sources of animal protein in feed production is more acute than ever. Insects are a promising protein component in feed production today. The article examines the state and prospects for the use of insects that have a high nutritional value, consume less resources and are environmentally friendly. The volumes of protein production obtained from fly larvae, flour worms and other insect species are given. The distribution of the use of insects for different types of animal husbandry, poultry farming and aquaculture in recent years is given. The main world leaders companies engaged in the cultivation of larvae and breeding of worms are presented. A comparative analysis of the content of crude protein and fat in various types of insects and traditional protein sources such as fish and soy meal is presented. A literature review of the results of the use of insects in the feeding of pigs and poultry by the world's leading scientists is presented. Insect-based animal feeds have been shown to have advantages over grain-based feeds. Test results are shown showing that crickets, black soldier flies and worms have the same protein digestibility as soy and provide more lipids, vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of insects in compound feed is one of the strategies for finding alternatives to create conditions for animal feeding that would be consistent with the concept of sustainable development. Data from a study on the effect of insects on egg production is also presented, which showed that yolk color, shell tear strength, and shell thickness were significantly increased by the addition of black soldier fly larvae. The results of studies on the use of insects in feeding fish are analyzed. The use of protein-chitin concentrate of Hermetia illucens larvae in feeding tilapia showed that it almost completely corresponds to fishmeal in terms of nutritional value.

The article conducts a study indicating the importance of bioenergy as one of the main directions of renewable energy. Bioenergy occupies a leading position in the global market and plays a significant role in replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy, in particular the use of agrobiomass, has great potential in Ukraine for energy production. However, now the development of bioenergy in the country lags behind the European level. In order to facilitate the development of this industry, it is necessary to use the available agrobiomass resources and introduce modern energy production technologies. It is further defined that for the development of bioenergy in Ukraine it is important to create a favorable legislative environment and infrastructure. It is necessary to attract investment in the industry, support research and development of new technologies, as well as have specialists trained who can effectively implement bioenergy projects. The study revealed that one of the ways to use agrobiomass for energy production is to grow energy crops such as straw, corn and sunflower stalks, corn silage, organic components of household waste, sewage sludge and waste from livestock breeding enterprises. For optimal use of agrobiomass, it is necessary to take into account environmental and socioeconomic aspects, ensure the sustainability of raw material supplies and develop efficient production technologies. The publication provides data on the consumption of renewable heat energy in Ukraine during 2007–2024. Different types and methods of energy production from agrobiomass are described and a classification of technologies for the gradual transformation of agrobiomass into energy products is presented. The publication also considers the methodology of economic efficiency of waste use for biofuel production in comparison with their traditional use at the State level. The advantages and disadvantages of energy use of agrobiomass are highlighted, as well as different types of biofuel production and raw materials used for this purpose are considered.

The article is devoted to the study of the geological structure of the lower parts of the Productive Series of the Lower Pliocene of the Kurovdagh field. It consists of an introduction, problem statement, research questions, research methodology, results, conclusion and list of references. The introduction provides basic information about the field under study, its geographical location, the history of geological and geophysical studies, the lithology of the section, the structure of the Kyurovdag fold and the oil and gas potential of the field. Oil and gas presence inthefield is related to the Absheron stage of Pleistocene, Akchagyl stage and Productive Series (horizons PS01—PS23) of Neogene. Despite the long-term production from the field, the lower parts of the Productive Series and underlying sediments have not been recovered and sufficiently studied by deep drilling due to the complicated surface and deepseismo-geological environment. It has been recommended to carry out a 3D seismic survey due to a high level of lateral one-fold reflections on seismic records. The major goals of the 3D seismic survey were studyingthe Kurovdagh field's geologic setting, obtaining characteristics previously unknown to geoscientists, and providing detailed research on velocity section to derive prognostic time-depth dependence. It was noted that thePetroalliance Services Company Limited geophysical company has performed a field seismic survey on request «The Caspian Energy Group» company. Processing of the acquired data used the FOCUS 5.4 software package manufactured by Paradigm Geophysical. For repeated interpretation of 3D seismic survey data, the 3D CDP data acquired from the field were used. The kinematic analysis by use of the 3 D cubes revealed the difference by the time shift, frequency spectrum, and amplitude range. The 3 D cubes were brought to a single formby time, phase, and amplitude. The further kinematic interpretation displayed the good quality of the data acquired from Kurovdagh area. The study applied PANGEYA® software for a multi-attribute geological and geophysical data analysis and the standard interpretation. For volumetric modeling of the productive layers of the Kurovdagh oil field, we used the PETREL.10.2 software package. The study targets included complex, lithologically, and tectonically sealed deposits of Productive Series PS01—PS09 and Akchagyl stage (AKCH). Productive layers are attributed to Neogene's Pliocene stage within the Caspian basin's limits. It is represented by a thick series of continental, coastal, and marine sediments (sand, clay, coarsely fragmented depositions) of 1600 m thickness and is unconformity laying over the Pontian stage and covered by the Akchagyl layers in a transgressive form. The Akchagyl stage is one of the stages of the Upper Pliocene which is made of clay, limestone, marl, sandstone, sand, and conglomerates. It became clear that the Kurovdagh field is characterized by a block type structure across the geological section. Block sizes are almost unchanged, evidencing conformance of structural stages and heritance of tectonic movements. Mud volcano and diapiric folding and their sizes are the major distinguishing features of the area.

The subject of this research is noise reduction methods in the sound sequence as a part of the proposed speech-to-text (STT) module for converting a verbal lecture or a lesson into a written text form on digital educational platforms. The goal is to investigate the influence of noise reduction methods on the operation of the acoustic signal recognition system. 3 methods of noise reduction were considered for integration in the proposed acoustic artifact recognition system and for the researching: spectral subtraction method; fast Fourier transform; Wiener filter with software modeling of every method. The obtained results: after testing the system with integrated noise reduction modules in it, based on the fast Fourier transform, Wiener filter and spectral subtraction method, it was concluded that the module using the Wiener filter improves the identification results by 25%, which is the highest result. However, performance testing has shown that fast Fourier transform is the fastest method. The practical significance of the work is – the identifying acoustic events system was developed, different noise reduction methods were integrated and researched into the module for converting a verbal lecture or a lesson into a written text form in a proposed system with the aim of increasing of speed and accuracy.

Analysis of technologies, allowing titanium wastes to be used in the melting process in ingot production, was performed. It is shown that for this purpose a promising and cost-effective schematic is the one which includes electroslag remelting with preliminary manufacture of a consumable electrode completely from standard wastes of sheet cuttings of VT1-0 titanium. The structure and properties of electroslag ingots of titanium of 90×90 mm cross-section and 85 mm diameter was studied. The ingots were produced with application of electroslag remelting in an open mould with sliding current conduit and the slag pool surface protection by argon. Chemical composition of electroslag ingots of unalloyed titanium practically does not differ from that of titanium of VT1-2, VT1-L grades, and a whole range of grades of unalloyed titanium from foreign manufacturers, except for a somewhat higher content of oxygen and nitrogen. Ultrasonic testing of the ingots did not reveal any internal defects. Macrostructure, which was studied on longitudinal and transverse templates, is coarse-crystalline, dense, and homogeneous without any defects of technological origin. The angle of inclination of the columnar crystallites to the ingot axis is 40…45°, grain size is 1.8…2.5 mm. The microstructure consists of transformed β-grains of 140…175 μm size. After annealing (620 °С) the mechanical properties of electroslag ingots were as follows: НВ = 224; σt = 590 MPa; σ0.2 = 560 MPa; δ = 7.5 %; ψ = 13.5 %. Technical measures were determined to improve the ductility of electroslag titanium by reducing the content of oxygen and nitrogen in the ingots, and refining the cast grain size. Technological properties of electroslag titanium (cuttability and weldability) are on the level of VT1-L. The possibility of pressure treatment (hot forging) was established with deformation coefficients of 40 and 90 % of titanium from electroslag ingots. The obtained semi-finished products did not have any internal or surface defects. Ref. 24, Tabl. 2, Fig. 8. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An additional and underutilized resource that accumulates annually is post-consumer wood. The annual potential volume of this resource of wood raw material in Ukraine is about 2.0 million tons. This important source of wood raw materials, due to the lack of a regulatory framework, scientific and technical foundations for use, classification, technological developments and practical recommendations, has not yet received proper use at woodworking enterprises in Ukraine. We have made the first attempts to study the physical and mechanical properties of the post-consumer wood and suggest ways to use it. Among a variety of indicators of the mechanical and physical characteristics of used wood specimens from roof structures, we have identified the most important ones that are important for the use of such wood in the manufacture of panel structural materials, in particular in the production of blockboards. It is substantiated that the identification of the main indicators of post-consumer wood (PCW), and their comparison with the same indicators of primary wood (PW), in particular, the main softwood species, is an urgent scientific problem, since provisioning the regulatory database will ensure the manufacture of high-quality wood products with maximum consideration of the mechanical and physical characteristics of this potential reserve of raw materials, which is advisable to use in woodworking technologies for the production of structural materials and components of furniture products. Physico-mechanical parameters of PW and PCW of pine, spruce, fir and larch were identified and it was found that with time of operation under different conditions they change, mainly towards decreasing their values: density – by 1.54-4.67%; impact hardness – by 1.37-4.11%; static hardness – by 0.72-7.11%; cross-breaking strength – by 5.94-8.33%, shearing strength – by 3.08-7.23%; compressive strength along the fibers – by 1.72-8.89%. The main causes of age-related changes in the properties of PCW are due to the following factors: biological – partial internal rot, weathering, insect damage; mechanical – scratches, shearing, small holes from fasteners and other defects from use; operational – the influence of dynamic and power loads, surface finishes and other factors on structural elements of wood products. Possessing the obtained indicators and knowing the change in the physical and mechanical properties of PCW with age, we can recommend this additional wood material for the manufacture of structural materials: with mechanical damage visible on the surface and color changes – for the manufacture of blockboards; with high-quality surfaces - for the manufacture of furniture panels The results of studying the indicators of the physical and mechanical properties of PCW of the main softwood species made it possible to understand the nature of the change in these indicators in comparison with PW, to elaborate practical recommendations for efficient material processing, and to fill the regulatory database.

The article presents the advantages of implementing the conception of circular economy (CE), which are not limited to reducing pressure on natural systems, but are based on economic benefits associated with the creation of new jobs, increasing labor productivity, and increasing the competitiveness of the economy. In the course of the study, the author proves that the effective implementation of the conception of circular economy should rely on simultaneous consideration of both perspectives: taking measures by enterprises and implementing at both the political and social levels. Enterprises will only implement environmental methods if it provides them with economic benefits. However, without the support of initiative in the top-down direction (for example, grants and tax incentives), aimed at limiting the use of raw materials, limiting emissions and pollution, there will be no permanent closure of the cycle of material flows. The implementation of the conception of circular economy is based on the so-called 3R (recycle, reuse, reduce). The author analyzes the principles of circular economy, namely: preservation and increase of natural capital by controlling limited reserves and balancing the flows of renewable resources; optimizing the use of resources through the circulation of products, components and materials used with the highest utility in both the technical and biological cycle; maintaining the efficiency of the system by identifying and projecting negative external effects. The developed conceptual model provides for a balance between «top-down» and «bottom-up» approaches, taking into account (not limiting) the disparities in the motivation of different stakeholders of the CE conception in the context of harmonization of economic, environmental and social benefits. The development of sustainable business models is associated with ecodesign, as well as with reverse supply chains. The carried out research can become the basis for further empirical research and provide assistance to decision makers in creating different scenarios by including more specific and industry-specific variables.

The subject matter of the article is the module for converting the speaker’s speech into text in the proposed model of automatic annotation of the speaker’s speech, which has become more and more popular in Ukraine in the last two years, due to the active transition to an online form of communication and education as well as conducting workshops, interviews and discussing urgent issues. Furthermore, the users of personal educational platforms are not always able to join online meetings on time due to various reasons (one example can be a blackout), which explains the need to save the speakers’ presentations in the form of audio files. The goal of the work is to elimination of false or corrupt data in the process of converting the audio sequence into the relevant text for further semantic analysis. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: a generalized model of incoming audio data summarization was proposed; the existing STT models (for turning audio data into text) were analyzed; the ability of the STT module to operate in Ukrainian was studied; STT module efficiency and timing for English and Ukrainian-based STT module operation were evaluated. The proposed model of the speaker’s speech automatic annotation has two major functional modules: speech-to-text (STT) і summarization module (SUM). For the STT module, the following models of linguistic text analysis have been researched and improved: for English it is wav2vec2-xls-r-1bz, and for Ukrainian it is Ukrainian STT model (wav2vec2-xls-r-1b-uk-with-lm.Artificial neural networks were used as a mathematical apparatus in the models under consideration. The following results were obtained: demonstrates the reduction of the word error level descriptor by almost 1.5 times, which influences the quality of word recognition from the audio and may potentially lead to obtaining higher-quality output text data. In order to estimate the timing for STT module operation, three English and Ukrainian audio recordings of various length (5s, ~60s and ~240s) were analyzed. The results demonstrated an obvious trend for accelerated obtaining of the output file through the application of the computational power of NVIDIA Tesla T4 graphic accelerator for the longest recording. Conclusions: the use of a deep neural network at the stage of noise reduction in the input file is justified, as it provides an increase in the WER metric by almost 25%, and an increase in the computing power of the graphics processor and the number of stream processors provide acceleration only for large input audio files. The following research of the author is focused on the study of the methods of the obtained text summarization module efficiency.

The issue of waste disposal of plant origin is a problem, the solution of which is currently an urgent task. The issue and problematic of excessive accumulation of waste is recognized by the vast majority of highly developed countries of the world. In order to overcome this problem, disposal mechanisms are permanently improved, procedures for their processing and biological cleaning and incineration technologies are introduced. A significant reason for the collection of a large amount of waste as a result of agricultural activity is the organization of their disposal at an insufficient level. As one of the options for solving this ecological situation can be the processing of organic waste with the help of larvae of the Black Lionfly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae). Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the processing of various agricultural wastes of plant origin using Black Lionfly larvae and to clarify the structure and sequence of technological processes of a biological-technological enterprise. The breeding process of the Black Lionfly on plant waste was studied, and the biological and technological parameters of the obtained biomaterial were determined. It has been proven that the Black Lion fly is highly effective for processing waste from agricultural production of plant origin. It has been proven that obtaining a highly viable culture of insects is possible under the conditions of feeding the larvae with wheat bran, cake, a mixture of watermelon + cantaloupe, non-standard zucchini, a mixture of potato + carrot + cabbage, non-standard; substandard bread cereals. The structure of a waste processing enterprise is proposed, which includes four stages: obtaining 1st instar larvae for waste processing; preparation of waste for processing by larvae; waste processing; final (receiving humus and larvae)

The paper proposes a system which is electronic data storage (of qualification works of students from different countries) and provides the capability to identify and connect young scientists conducting research on a related problem area. The purpose of developing this system is to provide opportunities for knowledge exchange, research in a team on a common problem, as well as to identify scientific trends in different countries. In this paper, the preprocessing methods influence on the work of classifiers such as Logistic Regression, LSTM, BERT, LightGBM was researched. A study was conducted on the speed of classification and F1 assessment. Conclusions. Lemmatization showed to require a shorter operating time compared to steaming by almost twice and a better score by an average of 5 percent, so it was decided to use the Logistic Regression classifier with lemmatization at the stage of text preparation in the subsequent operation of the proposed ISKE.

The most important component of the success of livestock production is the creation of a solid feed base to meet the needs of the livestock industry. In addition to cereals, oilseeds (flax oil, safflower, sesame seeds, etc.) and products of their processing have great fodder potential. Its physicochemical composition is quite unique: quite high protein content, a large range of fatty acids and vitamins. Therefore, the urgent task of improving the quality of the feed base is the creation of the latest technical and technological support for the waste-free processing of vegetable raw materials of oil crops into feed for organic animal husbandry. The purpose of the research is to improve the technological line of complex non-waste processing of vegetable raw materials of oilseeds into feed for organic animal husbandry. To achieve this goal, the following research objectives were set: to analyze the technologies of processing vegetable oilseeds into feed, to develop a technological line of complex waste-free processing of vegetable oilseeds to feed, to substantiate the composition of the relevant technical and technological support. The studies were conducted using patent information retrieval methods and analysis of previous research results. As a result of the analysis of modern technical and technological support for the processing of vegetable raw materials, the technological line of complex waste-free processing of waste oil-fat complex of oilseeds in feeds for organic animal husbandry was improved. Taking into account the need for both dry and liquid feeds, the processes of granulation and cavitation dispersion of the corresponding feeds were introduced into the production line. This coverage of fodder production makes it possible to use the proposed feed preparation line as universal

Experiments were performed on processing briquetted and non-briquetted shavings of Kh18N10T stainless steel and 07Kh12NMBF (EP609) and KhN70VMTYuF (EI617) heat-resistant alloys in induction furnaces and electroslag furnaces. It is shown that the most preferable is the technology of simultaneous remelting of a consumable electrode from lump wastes and shavings in an electroslag crucible furnace. In this case, at melting in 120 kg furnace at the amount of shavings fed for melting, equal to 45…55 % of the total melt mass, the specific power consumption is equal to 0.55…0.65 kW/.h/kg, productivity is 130…160 kg/h, and burnout losses are not more than 1…2 %. At electroslag crucible melting it is possible to actively conduct such metallurgical operations as refining, modification, alloying and deoxidation that allows producing high quality metal.

Improving the quality of short flax fiber produced by domestic flax processing enterprises is an urgent scientific and technical task for the entire flax industry of the country. The aim of the article is to study and improve existing processes of scrapping waste processing by quantifying the influence of technological factors on the quality indicators of short flax fiber. The main tasks are to intensify the scrapping waste treatment process to develop an optimal technological scheme for producing short flax fiber. The methods of mathematical planning of the experiment were used to determine the influence of the main process parameters on the quality of the resulting short fiber. To control the percentage of scutch, the processed material, in the shaking part of the tow scutcher flax unit, the rotation speed of the scutching drums was changed using a variation, as well as by setting pulleys of different sizes. At the same time, the rotation frequency of the drive shaft of the feed conveyor was changed by replacing the sprockets. The mathematical models have been obtained of the dependence of the content of the scutch in the short fiber and the breaking load of the twisted tape on the number of repeated treatments of the scrapping wastes of the tow scutcher flax unit, the departure of the needles and their magnitude on the shaking machine, the number of needle vibrations, the moisture content of the raw materials after the drying machine and the speed of the scutching drums. To increase the strength of the twisted ribbon of short flax fiber, you need to strive to reduce the sweep angle of the needles and higher rotational speeds of the scutching drums. The degree of removal of weed impurities and scutch is growing, which improves the grinding of fibers, which means that in per unit section of the tape there will be more pure flax fibers. In order to achieve the smallest value of the content of the scutch in the short fiber, which is produced, it is necessary to choose large values of the number of oscillations of the needles of the shaker machines, the departure of the needles above the surface of the grate, the number of revolutions of the scutching drums and the moisture content of the raw materials should be minimal. The number of repeated treatments of scrapping wastes has a positive effect on reducing the content of scutch in short flax fiber. An increase in the rotation speed of scutching drums and the number of repeated processing of the material adversely affects the breakage of the yarn obtained from short fiber. The resulting flax fiber can be in its pure form processed into bulk insulation, cellulose, technical wool or composites with their corresponding physical and mechanical properties. The prospects for further research include the modernization of technological equipment with differentiation of scrapping waste by the content of the scutch when they are received and pneumatically transported to the next processing stage.

The influence of lubricating and cooling technological means on the destruction of metal during cutting is shown. It has been established that the most effective additives to lubricating and cooling technological means (LCTM) are aliphatic limiting polymers, namely polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Within the framework of ideas about the chemical activation of media, as well as the accumulated experimental materials of our own research, studies have been conducted on the qualitative description of sophisticated models related to the actual microstructure of the material and quantitative measurements of metal-hydrogen systems. Various aspects of the problem of mechanical energy and hydrogen influence on the restructuring of crystal lattices and the disruption of the interatomic bonding forces arising in ultramicroscopic regions are considered. An important problem is the model of interaction of hydrogen with the metal directly in the region of rearrangement and rupture of bonding forces between atoms. This model corresponds most adequately to the costs of opening a new surface, i.e. the final manifestation of the LCTV influence on the cutting process. The article describes the processes and phenomena that take place below the boundary of the highly deformable metal (chips) and the rest of the metal mass of the workpiece, as well as the peculiarities of the processes of transporting hydrogen from the plasma to the metal fracture zone. It has been established that in the microvolume of the material, the thermal energy produced in connection with the contact interactions of electrically active hydrogen particles with an electrically active real metal structure increases the frequency of thermal vibrations of material atoms and the probability of their rupture. Acting in conjunction with the mechanical energy, they facilitate the processes of deformation and destruction, and reduce the energy costs of cutting metal in various hydrocarbon LCTM. It is noted that the presence of hydrogen both in the chips and in the surface being treated was registered during the cutting of metal in any hydrogen-containing medium, even in water. However, the concentration of hydrogen in the metal workpiece, when the latter is processed in the medium with the addition of a polymer, is approximately two orders of magnitude higher than in the low molecular weight one. It is this fact that makes a significant advantage of LCTM with polymer additives.

This article is devoted to the study of transforming the chemical composition of corn grits at the different operation modes of degerminator in the dent corn processing. The experiment was conducted in industrial conditions on Skvyrskyi grain processing factory Ltd. during the processing of kernels using the degerminator of Bühler company. The operation modes of the degerminator were changed for 5 times during the experiment by means of the regulation of the gap between the shell and the drum. The study has shown that in terms of the low operation mode of the degerminator (the passage of the sieve Ø3.0 – 34.9%) there is a high output of fine fractions of the intermediate products, but the quality level of the overtail product of the degerminator is the best by fat content 1.81% and crude fiber content 6.72%, which indicates a minimal germ and bran content. In case of the increase of the gap (the passage of the sieve Ø3.0 – 12.4%), the output of fine fractions of the intermediate products, as well as the output of feed germ meal, declines, at the same time the overtail product has the high number of remnants of the germ and bran after the degerminator, as the fat content increases to 2.80% and crude fiber content increases to 9.82%. It was also found that the change of degerminator modes (increase in the passage of the sieve Ø 3.0 from 34.9 to 12.4%) leads to a decrease in the starch content from 79.36 to 75.43%, the protein content does not change. In order to provide the high quality of corn groats products, it is advisable to control the quality of the overtail products of the degerminator by the fat content. The fat content in the overtail product must not be higher than 2.2% – during the production of long shelf life products, and not higher than 2.5% – during the production of common corn products. For prompt regulation of the degerminator operation modes, it was offered to use release indicator, which can be determined by means of sieving of the 100 g of the overtail products using the Ø 3.0 sieve. In order to provide the fat content in groats within 0.6–0.8% and 0.8–1.0%, the general extraction of the fine products (release indicator) with the Ø 3.0 sieve use in the dent corn processing should vary within the range of 27–32% and 22–27%, respectively.

Background. In our time, the improvement of diagnostic systems is mainly focused on increasing the accuracy of primary transducers. Standard methods of displaying diagnostic information do not always allow us to uniquely assess the technical state of objects.

Methods. Processing programming language is a new, yet powerful software development tool, including for next-generation diagnostic systems. Results. The algorithm and the software for visualization of complex measurements of stresses and spatial position are developed. It provides the processing (transformation) of the recorded in the output file data for correct display on the simulation model of the tank, taking into account file data write characteristics, ADC parameters (bit rate, input range), the number of information sensors that affects the number of elements of a three-dimensional model for displaying data. Conclusions. On the basis of the programming language Processing, which allows working with three-dimensional graphics, a program for displaying strain gauge measurements data, pre-recorded into a file, on a geometric model of an object is implemented, as well as displaying the current spatial position of the object by visualizing the measured angles of the slope of the structure relative to the vertical axis.

У всьому світі спиртова промисловість зіштовхнулась із проблемою накопичення відходу виробництва спирту – післяспиртової барди. За рахунок високих показників хімічного та біохімічного споживання кисню, завислих речовин, специфічного кольору та запаху, низького значення рН очищення таких відходів на полях фільтрації чи їх скид у водойми неможливі. Метою нашої роботи є: (1) проведення аналізу існуючих методів переробки зернової післяспиртової барди; (2) окреслення завдань, які необхідно вирішити для її ефективної утилізації; (3) визначення найбільш перспективних та ефективних методів переробки зернової післяспиртової барди. Встановлено, що існуючими методами її переробки є біологічні, фізико-хімічні, а також використання в сільському господарстві як нативної барди, так і продуктів її переробки. До найпростіших методів утилізації зернової післяспиртової барди належить її використання для годування великої рогатої худоби або фертигація, оскільки в барді міститься широкий спектр мінеральних і поживних речовин. Унаслідок утворення великих об’ємів цих відходів та їх швидкого закисання ці методи неефективні. На сьогодні використовуються методи отримання комбікормів з післяспиртової барди її випарюванням, висушуванням та гранулюванням твердої фракції барди. Оскільки барда має високу вологість, одержання з неї комбікормів є нерентабельним. Аеробне очищення післяспиртової барди виправдовує себе лише за використання розділення твердої та рідкої фракцій, при подальшій переробці рідкої фракції. Також способом підвищення ефективності аеробного очищення є використання комплексу мезофільних і термофільних аеробних бактерій, що ускладнює процес її утилізації. На теперішній час досліджуються методи анаеробної переробки післяспиртової барди з одержанням біогазу. Проблемою є низьке значення рН, що інгібує процес метаногенезу. Тому дослідження в напрямі стабілізації рН і технології проведення процесу ферментації є актуальною задачею для переробки барди. За рахунок утворення енергоносія та перетворення відходу на високоякісне добриво (продукти анаеробного зброджування) цей метод є ефективним та економічно вигідними.

The article reflects the socio-economic importance of oilseeds in the domestic market of consumption, focuses on the indispensability of processing sunflower, soybeans, canola, mustard, flax oil for food and the economic effect of using oilseeds for producers of these products in the agricultural market. . It is established that the production of oilseeds is an integral part of the diet of the population of Ukraine, an important segment of the livestock industry, an important sector of the agricultural economy. It is noted that domestic products of oilseeds processing dominate export markets. It is determined that the innovative direction today is the use of waste from oilseeds processing in the bioenergy industry. The purpose of the article is to to reveal the socio-economic significance of oilseeds in Ukraine and to determine further prospects for development at the present stage of functioning of the domestic agricultural market. Research methods – system generalization, abstract-logical, analysis and synthesis, observation, comparison. Research results. Today, Ukraine in the world market of oilseeds occupies a leading position in terms of their production and exports of processed products. For the last 20 years, the oil and fat industry has dominated the agricultural market of Ukraine in terms of price, profitability, value added, production rates, etc. Production chains have been formed from small farmers to processors of raw materials and exporters of oil and seeds. It is profitable and profitable to produce oilseeds, the resulting products are liquid and in demand in the market. The structure of consumption of sunflower processing products: meal – 25%, oil – 10%; rapeseed: meal – 20%, oil – 0.7%; soy: meal – 35%, oil – 0.3%. So, the vast majority of products are exported. Sunflower is a strategic oil crop in Ukraine, which has "established" itself on production areas as the main oil crop, and the products of its processing are a significant export product. Demand for sunflower oil is growing every year due to increasing demand from importing countries. Rapeseed is gaining momentum in the domestic market of oilseeds due to the growth of its processing. Rapeseed is a crop with a wide range of uses. Sleeveless low-glucosinolate varieties of rapeseed provide high-quality meal, feed improvers. In the agronomic aspect, rapeseed has undeniable advantages in that it provides up to 1.5-2.0 tons of oil from 1 hectare of field. Soybeans are a valuable protein-oil crop that has a wide range of uses: feed production, food, technical purposes, medicine. Soybeans have a fairly high productivity, a wide range of distribution. When growing soybeans, both protein and vegetable oil are obtained. Ukraine consumes about 50 thousand per month. tons of soybean meal and cake. In the general structure of forages soybean meal occupies 23%. Despite the multi-vector application of finished products of oilseed flax, mustard and products of their processing, the dynamics of production of these crops in Ukraine has a downward trend. Mustard seed production in Ukraine is a chaotic phenomenon. Oilseed flax seeds and oil are used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Mustard is of great importance as an oil crop, and mustard oil is not inferior in quality to sunflower. Conclusions. The food industry is shaping the demand for sunflower oil with a high content of oleic acid. The market for high-oleic sunflower is constantly growing and isolating. A promising direction for sunflower is the production of organic sunflower and the emphasis on the quality of the final product. The prospect of expanding the rapeseed market is due to a number of factors: rapeseed is a universal agro-ecological crop that has a beneficial effect on the soil and is an excellent precursor to winter cereals; rapeseed oil is one of the cheapest vegetable oils used in many industries; rapeseed oil is used as the main raw material for biofuel production. Soybean as a unique protein-oil crop with a wide range of uses has the potential to increase production in the domestic agricultural market due to high yields and a wide range. At the same time it is necessary to take into account the leading positions of this culture in terms of production in the world. Regarding oil flax and mustard, we believe that these crops have the potential to increase production. This is due to the fact that oil flax is suitable for growing in all regions of Ukraine, and is also characterized by waste-free production. A similar position on mustard – Ukraine belongs to the traditional world areas of mustard cultivation, and the use of modern technologies of mustard cultivation can give a harvest that is not inferior to the yield of rapeseed.

The results of experimental studies of the process of "Ugorka Domashnya"plums in the native state processing in the mode of continuous action in a centrifugal field using a fixed perforated shell and a vane rotor that performs rotational motion are presented. The current methods and equipment for processing of bone raw materials for the purpose of division into semifinished products and wastes both in the mode of cyclic action (bone-knocking machines) and in the mode of continuous action are analyzed. The puncture strength of the whole fruit and the storage tissue (pulp) for the puncture was performed, and the biological relationship between the stone and the storage tissue was analyzed. It is shown that such a connection takes place mainly in the area of vascular-fibrous bundles of each fetus. Depending on the type of fruit and varieties of each species, the strength of the integumentary tissues can differ significantly between individual areas of the surface of the fruit, which affects their behavior during processing in a centrifugal field. Fruits with uniform characteristics of tissue strength throughout the volume are characterized by stable processing modes. The influence of the shape of fruits and stones on the processing process is analyzed. For fruits that are close to the correct shape (round, oval), the process of separating the flesh from the stones is in a more stable mode compared to fruits whose shape differs from the correct one. The shape of the bones deserves special attention, on which the stability of the processing process depends. Thus, bones with rounded and oval shapes are characterized by more stable modes compared to elongated shapes. A characteristic difference in the processing of stone-shaped fruit is the condition in front of the attacking surface of the blade and the perforated surface, in which the separation of the flesh from the stone occurs only on one side of the fruit. The relationship between the angular velocity of the blades and the amount of pulp that has not been separated from the bones has been established. At the level of hypotheses, the analysis of the causes of bone destruction outside the recommended processing regimes was performed. According to the results of experimental studies, a processing regime is recommended that corresponds to the minimum loss of pulp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The problem of mathematical modeling of the stress state of a single stone fruitcrop (apricot «Domashny») on the technical maturitystage at the time of its presence in the zone of a circular hole during transit movement along the perforated surface of a cylindrical shell in a centrifugal force field is considered. The driving force of the process is the rotational motion of the bladed rotor. The aim of this task is to determine the minimum angular velocity of the bladedrotor, which ensures the destruction of the outer peel and fruitpulp for their separation from the stone. A measure for determining the angular velocity is the maximum value of the strength of the outer peelfor puncture using a penetrometer with a cylindrical tip (indenter) with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm2. Nowadays, the removal of stones from the fruit is carried out mainly with the help of stone-punching machines of cyclic action. The efficiency of these machines depends on the biological connection of the storage tissue (pulp) with the stone. The best option is the lack of connection (some varieties of plums, sweet cherries), or the minimum connection, as usual, in the area of the fruit stalk (some varieties of apricot). The disadvantage of these machines is the need for their readjustment when changing the type of stone fruits, which leads to additional material costs. Fruit processing in a centrifugal field using a fixed perforated shell and a rotating bladed rotor allows the processing of stone fruits to be carried out in a continuous mode regardless of the connection between the fruit pulp and the stone. Practical application of the research results will allow us to develop optimal modes for processing stone fruits in a biological state, taking into account the strength characteristics of fruitouter peel.

Purpose. The volume of cargo transportation demands the introduction of a new generation of cars that would be able to provide all the needs of carriers. But this is impossible without the implementation of renovation repair facilities with the introduction of new technologies and modernization of the repair process. Repair of rolling stock is a key factor that must proceed with the establishment of new cars, as not all of the inventions may be repaired in car-repair depots, most of which are obsolete. The purpose is to analyze the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the repair process by introducing new repair technologies or improving the existing ones. It will improve not only the quality of the repair, but also its rate. Methodology. Works on improving the designs of freight cars are held by many design organizations in almost all industrialized countries. It makes repair organizations (depots and car-repair plants) to upgrade the repair process. Achievements of-this goal is possible by improving the technology renovation and reorganization through the use of flexible flow technologies, which to date are the most effective in the repair of rolling stock. Findings. When performing the analysis it was determined that there are different designs of cars. More of cars are all-purpose and their repair does not cause difficulties for car-repair business. However, the number of specialized cars is also significant, and the technology of their repair should be improved. One of the reasons is that many models, such as tank wagons for the carriage of sulfur, are intended for the carriage of dangerous goods and their failure at the time of motion is not permitted. Originality. Firstly the authors have defined direction at improving technologies of repair specialized cars. Practical value. Actual improvement in the construction of cars is to improve the existing repair facilities. In addition, the repair technology using nowadays when repairing cars is obsolete and requires improvement. Considered organization of the repair process is of practical value and can be used both in-time development of new repair facilities and the modernization of existing ones.

In Ukraine, the following basic crops are used as raw materials for the production of cereals, flour, flakes: wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, corn, rice, millet, peas. The volume of world grain production in recent years has grown significantly. In Ukraine, corn is the main fodder crop, and only in small quantities is used as food. Corn takes the leading place among the main grain crops in the world agricultural production. The production of corn for grain is concentrated in warm regions. In some regions, corn is the basis of the traditional food of the population, but mostly it is part of the feed in the feeding of farm animals. Corn does not accumulate nitrates and is an environmentally friendly product. Corn is a plant of versatile use. Currently, corn is one of the most important food crop cultivated by man. As to the largest producers of this cereal are the United States, China, Mexico, India, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa, France and Italy. Today, about 3500 food and technological products are made from corn. Corn is able to largely meet the needs of animal husbandry, its share is almost 30% in the composition of concentrated feed. Corn is used in food, starch, brewing and alcohol industries. With the advent of new directions in the development of biotechnology in the world, the importance of this culture is growing even more. In the countries of the European Union in recent years, the production of various types of fuels from plant materials - biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethanol and biofuel is actively developing. Bioethanol is obtained from all cultures with a high content of starch and sugar, for example, potatoes, sugar beet, corn, various types of cereals, and therefore a significant expansion of the acreage under corn is projected. In the article volumes of corn grain collection in different years in Ukraine for the production of cereals and groats are considered. Various types of maize as a perspective raw material for use in the food industry are considered. It is shown that two subspecies of maize are most widespread in Ukraine - a dentate (large grain of elongated form) and siliceous (a rounded grain). The presence of vitamins B (B1, B2, PP), calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron, as well as trace elements (copper, nickel, etc.) in maize makes it possible to recommend corn products as a separate product or in combination with other people with blood diseases, allergies, diabetes mellitus, obesity and other forms of metabolic disorders and pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. The authors analyzed the chemical composition of corn grain of various botanical groups intended for the production of cereals and products from them. The composition of micro- and macronutrients of corn groats used in the production of food products (snacks, breakfast cereals, instant cereals, cereals, etc.) is given.

The analysis of systems designed to process data from information systems of complex technical systems has shown that the SCADA systems used for this purpose are used mainly to provide an overview of the controlled processes in complex technical systems with the ability to perform the Process Analyzer methods for analysis of the state of systems and mainly for statistical data processing. In this regard, new processing technologies and Big Data analysis methods for this sphere are becoming more in demand. To solve the task of processing data from information and measuring systems of complex technical systems, the article analyzes the characteristics of the Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark frameworks for processing Big Data and their analytics with intraheterogeneous memory. The impact on performance and fault tolerance of Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark applications is considered. The ways of creating Resilient Distributed Data are considered: the parallelization of the transferred collection in the program; the use of links to an external file system in Hadoop. The distributed program complex on the basis of mass-parallel technology for processing streams Big Data, coming from information-measuring systems of complex technical systems is described. Distinctive features of the system are its ability to work in real time with streaming Big Data, as well as the application of existing algorithms that are not designed for distributed processing on multiple nodes without changing the implementation of the latter. It is proposed to process streaming Big Data in Apache Spark, coming from information and measuring systems of complex technical systems, to implement in Scala language using the SparkContext and RDD libraries. The proposed distributed software package on the basis of mass-parallel technology with cloud computing for processing streaming Big Data, coming from information and measurement systems of complex technical systems, has the ability to work in real time with large volumes of streaming data for managing technological processes in complex technical systems.

In the conditions of constant economic downturns, unstable development of economic processes and general political instability, the urgent task for the country is to provide the population with the necessary food products and food in general. Important in this process is the provision of the country with one of the important food products -sugar. In the production of sugar, there are a number of by-products that are very quickly spoiled and require immediate disposal. By-products in the production of sugar are an interesting raw material for feeding animals, they can be dried, pelletized, and the like. However, these methods of their processing have not been widely used in the feed industry because they are accompanied by nutrient losses and high costs. Therefore, the most pressing issues of the sugar industry today are the determination of the ways of full and rational use of by-products that are produced during the production of sugar, the development of small and non-waste technologies, as well as measures to eliminate the harmful effects on the environment. The article deals with the perspective directions of rational use of by-products produced during the production of sugar, namely beet pulp. The classification of secondary material resources of sugar production, a study of the chemical composition and possible methods of processing beet pulp was given. However, these methods do not allow to fully solve the problem of processing beet pulp. Despite a number of advantages, the problem of utilization of beet pulp remains relevant for our country. A possible way of using beet pulp is its processing in feed additives, which will enable not only to expand the range of raw materials for the production of feed products and reduce the cost of production of finished products, but also to solve the problem of utilization of by-products of sugar production and to reduce their negative impact on the environment.

The article features results of studying suitability to processing for various varieties of onion as grown in the conditions of Ukrainian Forest-Steppe. A complex assessment has been completed for fresh products of onion for 9 different varieties by the content of basic biochemical, biological, economic, organoleptic characteristics with the view of determining the most suitable for drying. Varieties are singled out , which bulbs accumulate the biggest dry matter, sugar, C vitamin content and display the highest yield of consumable products. Assessment of dry products against the set of organoleptic and technological indicators has been completed. This revealed loss of basic biochemical components of onions during drying and long-term storage of dried products, as well as established increasing of the content of dry matters and acids and decreasing of that of sugars and vitamin C while storing the dried onion. The set of examined parameters

In this article there is analysis of condition of stone fruit crops in fresh during their rotative movement on immobile perforated surface of cylindrical coating under field of centrifugal forces aimed at division onto semi-product (flesh) and waste (stones). Division is being performed via separation of flesh fragments from stones by hole edges. Separation intensiveness (productivity of the process) depends on structural-mechanical properties of fruit fleshes and their rotative speed.On the example of separate fruit it has been experimentally proved that besides rotative movement on inner surface of the coating there is rotative movement of a fruit around its own axle what promotes even separation of flesh. Such a rotation is typical for fruits with maturity stage even throughout the volume, otherwise breach of skin with following flesh separation occurs locally.Experimental researches carried out with apricot fruits and cornel have shown that productivity of the process of fruit separation depends of strength features of tissues and rotative speed of blades. Offered way of processing is carried out in non-stop mode and may be realized for all types of stone fruit crops independently on association between flesh and stone.
