Description
Summary:The article is devoted to the development of microwave technology and installations for preparing frozen cow colostrum for calf feeding by exposure to an ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic field in two volume resonators, which allow defrosting and heating of cow colostrum at different doses in a continuous mode. Two resonator microwave installations designed for farms have been developed and described. Effective modes of defrosting and warming up cow colostrum in an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency: duration of exposure to ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field in a resonator is 12 min; power of microwave generators 3.5-3.65 kW; plant productivity 25-30 kg/h; energy costs for the process 0.12-0.18 kW-kg/h, heating temperature of raw materials to 38-40 °C. For cattle farms up to 600 heads, one microwave installation is enough to defrost and heat cow colostrum. The annual economic effect due to lower operating costs will be 153600 rubles. The profitability of the process will increase by 3.22%.
