The practice of separating grain mixtures with the use of the difference in the
aerodynamic properties of their components has proved that the process of separating mixtures
in the aspiration separator is the most promising one with regard to the improvement of quality
and intensification of production. The authors have developed a new improved design of
aspiration seed separators, in which the work process of separating seed material is performed
with the use of vibration processes. In this seed material separator, the constant force air flow that
acts on the sail members on the central pipe of the separator, when seeds are fed for processing,
generates self-excited oscillations in the pipe, which produces centrifugal forces of inertia in the
seed feeding system. As a result of the mentioned effect, the propelling force in the process under
study substantially increases, accelerating the seeds of different fractions, which differ in their
masses, to different velocities. The motion paths of the seed particles change accordingly, heavier
particles moving closer to the vertical axis of the aspiration channel, which provides for
increasing the efficiency of separation of the seeds of different fractions from each other. In this
paper, a new mathematical model is developed for the motion of a seed mixture material particle
in the operating space of the separator’s aspiration channel. The mathematical modelling of the
process of vibration and aspiration separation has indicated that the separation of the motion paths
of the medium and heavy fractions takes place within the range of 20–40 mm; the flying speed
of the particles is equal to 3.2–8.0 m s–1, respectively; and their acceleration is equal to 1.8–
3.3 m s–2, which provides the necessary conditions for the accurate and high quality separation
into the required fractions. In view of the found differences between the kinematic characteristics
of the separated fractions of the grain mixture, the diameter of the pipeline for the medium
fraction is to be within the range of 90–100 mm, for the heavy fraction – 50–70 mm.
