| Summary: | In order to provide basic data and a theoretical basis for waste mulch film crushing and separation equipment, the mechanical and suspension properties of waste mulch film and cotton stalk were determined in this study. In the mechanical properties test, the tensile properties of waste mulch film and the shear properties of different parts of cotton stalk were investigated. In the suspension properties test, the suspension properties of different qualities of waste mulch film and different parts of cotton stalk were investigated. The results showed that the average maximum tensile forces and fracture displacements of the waste mulch film were 1.70 N (horizontal), 0.80 N (vertical) and 254.75 mm (horizontal), 145.22 mm (vertical). The shear properties of the cotton stem after wrapping the mulch film were greatly improved; the maximum shearing force was 186.89% higher than that of the unwrapped specimens. When the total suspension velocity was from 3.09 to 4.07 m/s, separation of mulch film and cotton stalk could be achieved by wind.
