Abstract

A transported belt was attached to a traditional chopping machine to improve its performance during the chopping process of maize. Evaluation the chopping performance focused upon changing machine rotational speed, moisture content of corn and feeding quantity. The highest actual chopping time was 14.16 sec occurred at 1.56 kg of feeding quantity and 54.11% of corn moisture content at rate of 9.07 sec/kg. The highest rate of fuel consumption was 3.65 lit/h. kg. was observed at 73.45% of corn moisture content with 1.56 kg of feeding quantity. Maximum cutting efficiency (96.96%) was occurred at 54.11% of corn moisture content at 0.67 kg of feeding quantity. The highest machine productivity (2.55 ton/h) was observed at 2000 rpm of machine rotational speed with 1.56 kg of feeding quantity.
