Item Influence of different temperatures and airflows on drying of natural and pulped coffee(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2020) Alves, Guilherme E.; Borém, Flávio M.; Andrade, Ednilton T.; Isquierdo, Éder P.; Siqueira, Valdiney C.; Dias, Camila de A.This study aimed to evaluate drying kinetics for natural and pulped coffee, using diferente temperatures and drying airflows. For the conduction of the experiment, coffee fruits (Coffea arabica L. cv. Topázio) were harvested manually, selecting only ripe fruits and subsequent to the hydraulic separation. For drying the coffee, use a mechanical dryer with two temperatures (40 and 45°C) and four drying air streams (24; 60; 96 and 132 m3.min- 1.m-2). Twelve models for employees to describe the drying kinetics of coffees. Among the models used to describe the drying process of natural coffee and pulped coffee, according to the results of the coefficient of determination, relative mean error, standard deviation of estimates and distribution of waste distribution, proposed model for the Only one that presents fit for all as conditions study. The temperature of 45 ° C and the airflows of 96 and 132 m3.min-1.m-2 provide the shortest drying times regardless of the coffee processing type.Item Parameters of operational performance of soil preparation and semi-mechanized transplantation of coffee seedling(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2018-11) Cunha, João P. B.; Silva, Fabio M. da; Andrade, Ednilton T.; Barros, Murilo M. deIn recent years, the coffee has undergone major changes, and in case of transplanting operation, the use of machinery has proved to be a viable alternative to producers. Prior knowledge of the influence of the variables that influence the operational capability of these machines can generate models to estimate precisely these parameters, thus enabling the optimization and management of mechanized operations. One of this tool is the use of the response surface methodology, which allows checking the influence of different independent variables and the response generated to allow a great value. This study aims to verify the use of the response surface method to determine parameters of mechanized operations in coffee plant implantation. The results show that the number of seedlings deposited increases with the increase in operating speed. In contrast, the adoption of higher speeds decreases the efficiency of the evaluated field operations. The response surface methodology was an important tool to check the effect of variables on performance parameters, and the generated models showed high significance allowing the identification of the effects of the operational speed and the average length of the cultivation line.
