Resumen

VALDES-HERNANDEZ, Pedro A.; MARTINEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Arturo; SUAREZ-HERNANDEZ, Jorge  y  GOMEZ-AGUILA, María Victoria. Theoretical Model of a Transportation System for Banana Bunches (Clusters) in Hillsides. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.3, e989. ISSN 2071-0054.

The objective of this paper is to determine the design parameters required for a system of transportation of banana clusters in mountainous areas. A theoretical model was elaborated with the application of the classical mechanics methods that allows rationalizing the design of the transport systems of banana bunches harvested on slopes using cableways. The model makes it possible to select, taking into account the productivity requirements, the speed of transport and the distance between clusters along the cable via, which guarantee the non-physical interference between the clusters, starting from the knowledge of the angle of the slope and the physical properties of bunches of bananas transported. Based on the functional relationships obtained from modeling, a software was developed that facilitates the obtaining of graphs and tables useful for the selection of the design parameters of the transportation system. The input data to the software for the model evaluation were determined in a banana zone in the state of Trujillo, Venezuela, characterized by the production of bananas on mountain slopes.

Palabras clave : mass center; minimum distance; physical-mechanical properties.
