Investigation of transportation of apples in containers on roads with different surfaces

This scientific article is devoted to the problem of mechanical damage to apples during their transportation in boxes on roads with different surfaces. Theoretical and laboratory tests were carried out and recommendations were made.

Over the past decade, we have observed a constant and steady increase in the volume of agricultural products produced in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the volume of livestock production almost doubled, and crop production tripled. Therefore, there is an objective need for the transportation of agricultural products throughout the Russian Federation. Transportation of agricultural products is carried out by all types of transport. An important place among them is occupied by transportation by road. However, the use of this type of transport when transporting agricultural products has a number of features, which include the presence of road infrastructure, the condition of the road surface, the influence of weather and climatic conditions on the transportation of products, etc. This leads to difficulties in organizing the transportation of agricultural products, since these products is diverse, some of it is characterized by a tendency to freeze, quickly change characteristics and properties under the influence of not only climatic factors, but also as a result of the effects of fluctuations that occur during transportation.
