The paper evaluates the uniformity of distribution of two fluted rollers used for sowing small seeds. One of the rollers has the grooves paralel with the cylinder generatrix and the other one has the grooves inclined toward the cylinder generatrix. The other design parameters like diameter, number of grooves, volume and width are identical. The research aims to highlight the influence of groove orientation on distribution uniformity. To evaluate the distribution Deval.mcd method was used, which was developed by the author.
