Abstract:In order to extend grain’s storage time and ensure its quality, it is necessary to sort and clean it. The aim of this study was to justify the rational shape of the sorting chamber and the optimal technological parameters for the sorting of wheat grains in airflow. This study used newly designed grain sorting chambers with constant, widening, and narrowing cross-sections for the airflow sorting of “Skagen” wheat grain. The aerodynamic properties of wheat grains were investigated when moisture was at 14 ± 2.0%.… Show more
