RESULTS OF IMPROVEMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF SORTING OF DRAGED SEEDS

The article presents the results of experiments conducted to justify the parameters of the seed selection unit to improve the process of sorting seeds. The experiments were carried out by changing the angle of inclination of the seed tray to the horizontal plane from α = 390 to α = 540 and the radius of the lower part of the tray in the aisle R = 140-180 mm. The experimental results show that the bottom of the tray, made in the form of a semicircle, allows the seeds to move up the pipe when the seeds fall from the tray at the desired speed. To determine the parameters of the sarting unit under production conditions, the semicircular lower part of the tray was taken at R = 160 mm, the angle of inclination of the tray was α = 440
