Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The publication presented for review is interesting. It presents an interesting technical solution of a grinding machine and a modern method of determining the optimal parameters of its operation. Below are some comments that in my opinion contribute to the improvement of the quality of the publication.

Remarks

  1. It seems to me that the publication is too long. The same informations are repeated in several places, especially with reference to the description of parameters that are optimized at work.
  2. The fragment of subchapter 3.3 describing the measurement method should be included in the material and methods section, as it refers to the description of the measurement methods used.

3.line 131 ..... (1 ..... should be deleted

4.line 234 fragment ... and 1.1. .... should be removed

Reviewer 2 Report

General:

Actual topic, instruments, and results! The conclusions are interesting for future research and practical implementation!

The manuscript shows important contributions for integrated approach technology & machinery, for rise agrotechnology.

However, there are some issues that must be addressed to improve the overall communication of author`s work.

The methodology and results can be improved, some parts could be synchronized.

Please, use the SI units and introduce abbreviations, even the concepts are well-known from authors.

Some statements can be improvement with citations from the bibliography.

Introduction

Please, use the SI units!

Row 52-57, 57-63, 86-90, 109-11; please, use citations.

Row 83, please explain CFD abbreviation.

Methodology

Row 175, please explain PTO abbreviation.

Row 128, 138, 235, 236, please use SI units.

Row 234, what about T4 value? What means 1.1?

Similarly, for M4.

In Table 1, K3 appears two times!!! (Row 238)

Row 239-241, please, references.

Row 245-251, references for Pa formula and use SI units.

Row 260, 266 please, use SI units.

Also, keep in mind that the readers should find here (only and exclusively) detailed description of all your procedures and method (author, process conditions) used. Anybody must be able to repeat your methods and obtain the same results.

Results

Must be presented  concordant with research methodology.

Regarding organization, I appreciate is better to separate results and discussions.

Also, please use SI units and same topic in descriptions (ex.: Row 280-282, 364-365, 369, 375-379, 384, 390, 393, 436, 457, 540, 553, table 2 (R464), etc.).

Please, correlate references number with text.

Discussions

OK, it compares own results with others.

Conclusions

OK.
