Abstract: The purpose of this paper is the design of a potato drip irrigation tape recycling machine that would not require manual assistance or suffer from broken tapes. To clarify the recycling performance of the new potato drip irrigation tape recycling machine under different working parameters, a single-factor performance experiment was conducted. To investigate the reasons for variations in the performance indexes of the machine under different operating parameters, RecurDyn-EDEM coupled simulation experiments were carried out, with the peak height of soil and the maximum bending angle of the drip irrigation tape during the recycling process as the experimental indexes. To determine the optimal working parameter combinations and to clarify the effects of the interaction of various factors on the performance indexes, a response surface experiment was conducted. Following this, an analysis of variance was performed, and a mathematical regression model was established based on the experimental results. The findings revealed that a machine forward speed of 2.4 km/h, a shovel angle of 12°, and a conveyor sprocket speed of 270 r/min resulted in a drip irrigation tape recovery rate of 95.2%, meeting the relevant standards for drip irrigation tape recycling operations.
