Economical Assessment of Replacing and Refining Methods of Hydraulic Oil of Sugarcane Harvesters in Sugarcane Cultivation Industry of Khuzestan
Journal Title: Journal of Agricultural Machinery - Year 2021, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Contamination due to hydraulic fluids exerts deleterious effects after a long time, however this factor is often ignored or its consecutive breakdowns and system failures are considered due to other factors. Therefore, in order to prevent the likelihood of occurring such problems, the following two strategies are presented: using oil change method to replace all of the hydraulic fluids from the discharge system with the new oil and using offline hydraulic oil filtration system for the removal of contaminated oil particles. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the economic status of cane sugar harvesting machines with an emphasis on hydraulic oil filtration process in seven units of sugarcane developmental company and affiliated industries in Khuzestan province, Iran. To perform this study, all statistics and data of the sugarcane and affiliated industries in seven companies during the crop year 2011-2016 were collected and classified. The results indicated that the application of the hydraulic filtration method led to the oil consumption saving (per liter) and in price (Iranian Rial) during the three crop-years of 2014-2016, as following: Imam Khomeini: 25500 L and 2882154363 Rials, Amir Kabir: 49000 L and 5847389466 Rials, Hakim Farabi: 82000 L and 9534396744 Rials, Dabal Khazaee: 73400 L and 6808230362 Rials, Dehkhoda: 31680 L and 3421979639 Rials, Salman Farsi: 73500 L and 7606675370 Rials and Mirza Koochak Khan: 75934 L and 8083068395 Rials.
