The article discusses the main problems that arise when working with commercially available grain cleaning machines "Petkus-Giant" K531. To solve these problems, we offer a set of removable equipment that allows automating the grain cleaning process with minimal financial costs, and a control system that monitors the content of weed impurities in the cleaned grain, commercial grain in the exits of light impurities from the first and second aspiration channels, the exit of small impurities (the passage of the lower sieve) and the exit of large impurities (the descent from the upper sieve). The proposed set includes a level sensor, cameras, a processor with a control unit, and actuators in the form of servos. The algorithm of operation of the process control system of the grain cleaning machine is described. Continuous monitoring and adjustment of the parameters of the process flow by the control system allows one to meet all the requirements.
