DEVICE FOR THE SEED SEPARATION BY ELASTICITY Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: device has feeder 4, batcher 3, reflecting members in the shape of truncated cone 11, dividers of cylindrical shape 12, slide boards in the shape of funnels 13. In the process of separation the most elastic fractions are separated out of the initial product. The device operation is based on the numerous collisions of the seed material particles with the reflecting surfaces under the action of their gravitational force. The quality of the separation is regulated by the change in the feed of material, by the displacement of the reflecting surfaces and the dividers, by installing the working organs with different geometric parameters. EFFECT: increased quality of separation. 2 cl, 3 dwg
