SOVIET PLANTS PRODUCE H'Y MACHINERY CHAIN-PROCESSING EQUIPbNT
BUILD RAY STACKERS -- Moscow, Mashinno-Traktorneya Etontsiy.^., May 53
A large number of STU-0.7 tractor-drawn hay stockers and SKP-0.15 crane
hay stackers have been supplied to MTS and sovkhozes in 1953.
PL,'J1T FAILS TO FULFILL ,UOTA -- Moscow, Trud, 18 Aug 53
The Gomel' Gomsel'roah Plant foils to produce hundreds of hay stackers and
sweep rakes badly needed in preparation of forage for -nicel husbapdry. The
plant also chronically fails to meet its plans for reducing costs of labor and
materials. Machines aid men "re idle at the beginning of the month but toward
the end of the month she man cork overtirme _nd the machines are overloaded. Over-
time payments to workers bring salaries for the month over the plant's allotted
sum, and overloading of machines increases the number of rejects.
SWEEP RAKES READY -- Riga, Sovetsk y, Latviya, 22 Aug 53
The Riga Imanta Plant is producing sweep rakes for mcuntin- on the U-2
tractor. The rake is designed to follov a grain combine and collect straw
for stacking. The order for rakes was received a month ago and the rakes
are ready for shipment to kolkhozes.
PRODUCE MACHINES FOR HANDLING H1.Y -- Tashkent, Pravda Vostok-, 2 Seo 53
The Frunze Agricultural Machine Building Plant is series producing uni-
versal tractor hay stockers. The Osh machine workshop has produced its first
group of hay stockers. The Bclovodskiy Rayon -:chine workshop end the
Kurshabskiy Rayon machine workshcp are producing special conveyers for stowage
of hay and straw.

ELECTRQdAGNETIC MACHINE FOR CLEANING GRASS SEEDS -- Moscow, Nushinno-Traktornaya
Stantsiya, Feb 53
Many MTS in the USSR are equipped with electromagnetic seed-cleaning
machines. The machine separates weed seeds from the seeds of clover and
alfalfa. Preliminary cleaning of leaves, stalks, and other waste from the
seeds must be done by the Triumf or the Kuskuta graders, the VS-2 winnower,
end the CE-1 seed cleaner.
Clover, alfalfa, or other seeds are poured into a receptacle, from which
the seeds are conveyed up to the hopper. From the hopper, the seeds are fed
in nn even flow to a mixing conveyer which is supplied with metallic powder by
special equipment. The metallic powder adheres to coarse and damaged seeds.
From the mixing conveyer, the seeds move into the electromagnetic drum which
retains seeds with the metallic powder attached to them and then routes them
through an outlet into a receiver. On leaving the magnetic field, the metallic
powder falls from the seeds into a receptacle. The undamaged, smooth clover
or alfalfa seeds ro13 off the magnetic drum into the receptacle for cleaned
seeds.
The electromagnetic cleaning machine cleans from 150 to 200 kilograms
of seeds per hour, depending on the waste pr:sent in the seeds to be cleaned.
One to two kilograms of metallic powder are used for each centner of seeds to
be cleaned. -- V. Roslyakov
G,t1IN CLEANER IMPROVED -- Moscow, Pravda, 18 Aug 53
The Voronezh Voronezhsel'mash Plant has improved the design of the VIM
grain cleaner and grader. The new sieve equipment makes it possible to grade
beans, oil seeds, and sugar-beet seeds, in addition to grain seeds. The
improved VIM cleaner and grader is smaller in size and 300 kilograms lighter
than the old model. The plant saves 122 kilograms of metal on each new VIM
cleaner and grader it produces.
IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL MACHINES -- Frunze, Sovetskaya Kirgiziya, 2 Sep 53
The Kharkov Serp i Melot Plant has designed special laborsaving devices
for threshers. These devices deliver sheaves of grain onto a chain conveyer
which carries the sheaves to the cutter, then to the threshing cylinder..
Each of the new devices frees.ten workers for other jobs. Specially designed
ball bearings and conveyer links have doubled the life of straw racks on
threshing machines. Durability of 34 other parts on threshing machines has
been increased.
