Рассмотрен метод моделирования непрерывного процесса смешения сыпучих материалов базирующийся на кибернетическом анализе с элементами теории автоматического управления (ТАУ) [ 6, 9]. В этом случае смесительный агрегат (СА) представляется в виде динамической системы, характеризующейся известной топологией движения материальных потоков и подверженный определенным внешним воздействиям. Разработанные две математические модели, позволяют определить степень сглаживания смесителями, входящими в состав СА, пульсаций входных материальных потоков, возникающих от дозаторов объемного типа. Полученные численные значения сглаживающей способности свидетельствуют о том, что исследуемые новые конструкции смесителей целесообразно укомплектовывать дозаторами объёмного типа. При этом будут соблюдены требования, предъявляемые к СА, как с технологической, так и с экономической точек зрения.

INTRODUCTION
The contemporary state of the market of food industry equipment is characterized by a considerable increase in the demand for machines and apparatuses that allow the production of high-quality food products of increased nutritional value (enriched with vitamins and biologically essential components) at low expenditures. In particular, the population should have new combined food products that compensate the deficient of different food components and micronutrients in its ration due to considerable ecological disturbances in different regions of Russia and other countries.
Since the content of many food additives in the major product is small (1% and lower), the key problem consists in their uniform distribution over the entire volume. Using the results of studies, it has been revealed that continuous centrifugal mixers (CCMs) [2, 5] characterized by a high intensity of mixing due to the targeted organization of the motion of thin disperse layers are most promising for the solution of this problem. Centrifugal mixers enable the production of good-quality mixtures at a component ratio of 1:100 [2]. However, a single CCM is usually insufficient at higher ratios. In this connection, we propose to incorporate two serially arranged centrifugal mixers with a good smoothability into a single MU. In this case, it is possible to use volumetric dosers with certain advantages (high material feed rate, small dimensions, low cost and maintenance expenditures) for the preparation of mixtures with high ratios of mixed components. For this reason, the objective of our work is to compare the operational efficiencies of two centrifugal MU of new design (differ from each other by the set of equipment incorporated in them), in which it is possible to obtain dry combined food products with a high ratio of mixed components, using cybernetic analysis and some ACT elements [6, 7, 9].
When studying the operation of certain mixing equipment, we artificially imposed a disturbance of one or another kind onto the input feed flow and then analyzed its consequences at the output of an apparatus (plotted a response curve) [10]. The function determined from the given curve for the residence time distribution of particles in centrifugal mixers was used in combination with the accepted flow pattern of mixed materials in an apparatus to predict the process of mixing in it [1, 8].
A number of scientific works [1, 6, 8, 13,15] are devoted to the problems of the modeling of mixing processes. In our work, we have detailed the questions of the creation of a MU mathematical model, which would allow us to match the time-and- frequency characteristics of CCMs and dosers incorporated into a MU in the interactive operational mode of a computer. As a result, this provides the possibility of decreasing the amplitude of fluctuations in the output material flow of a mixer and improving the quality of a ready mixture.
