The issues of quality management of peat raw materials are considered. A technology has been developed for the extraction of milled peat with the intensification of drying in the field to a harvest moisture content of less than 40 % due to the variable height of the total layer, which makes it possible to control the quality of the extracted raw materials and reduce the energy intensity of the process of its processing. Field tests of this technology have been carried out in a peat deposit. The relative humidity indicators of the harvested peat chips in each cycle were determined using two technologies. The results of a comparative analysis of the operational capacity of machines taking into account different technological parameters of production are presented.
