The project focuses on the cleaning of beans through the separation of impurities by screening machines, with the aim of helping small farmers who grow and sell their beans. Beans are among the most comsumed foods; however, the cleaning process is tedious, so we want to develop a system that performs such process in different stages of selection. Grains vary in price and quality in different places due to the conditions in which they are sold. This is because when they are sold in a supermarket, the product must be considered first level, which means, they must be of a homogeneous size and clean of any type of garbage. The purpose of this prototype is to clean the beans in such a way that it separates the impurities they might have and obtain a clean product. We begin by defining the cleaning procedure, then performing the structure and placement of sensors and actuators, and finally the programming and adjustments necessary for its operation. With this prototype, people who cultivate and extract the seeds can perform the cleaning and generate greater profits.
