Based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies at FGBAC FNAC VIM, we conducted a system analysis of the existing gravitational grain cleaning machines and developed a prototype of a gravity-pneumatic seed-seeding machine (VIM-3). His laboratory (preliminary) tests were carried out. The general view, constructive and techno logical scheme of the machine are presented. The prototype of a cleaning machine can purify wheat seeds up to 99.5% by feeding the processed material up to 2.5 t / h with an impurity content of more than 80%, which corresponds to the category of OS and ES of GOST R 52325-2005, as well as to international norms .
