Pulverization of sweet potato vine at different mower speeds
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2013 The effects of different mower speeds (2358, 2440 and 2553 rpm) and different knife angles (30?, 40? and 50?) on sweet potato vine pulverization were studied. The results indicated that all the treatments were significant at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 significance level for the pulverized percentage of sweet potato vine. The 30?

Effects of Rotary Mower Blade Cutting Angles on the Pulverization of Sweet Potato Vine
Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia, 2014 A rotary mower with five different blade cutting angles was tested at five different cutting speeds to determine the resultant pulverized percentage of sweet potato vine (< 28 mm) and the power consumed (Joule). The best results for effects of interaction between blade angles and mower speeds was achieved by the 30° blade angle at 2440 rpm with highest
