Engineering design of technological parameters of separation of seed in the upward air flow of pneumatic sorting machines

Abstract

It was showed the results of the determination the optimal parameters of the narrowing partitions installed in pneumatic channels with a vertical up air flow for cleaning seeds. The installation narrowing partitions in pneumatic channels makes it possible to increase the productivity and efficiency for cleaning seeds from difficult–to–remove impurities by no less than 20%, while the optimal ratio of the width of the partitions and the depth of the pneumatic canal sections varies from 0.3 to 0.5.
