Abstract
Bitter vetch seed is one of the main contaminants of wheat grain in Jordan. The mechanical separation ofbitter vetch from wheat grain was studied. The separation method depends on the difference in physical properties (rollingability) between the crop seed and the contaminant. A laboratory type inclined belt conveyor was designed andconstructed to give different inclination angles and belt speeds. At low feed rates the test results showed that the beltconveyor efficiently separates a mixture of wheat contaminated with 10% bitter vetch at a belt speed of 0.42 m/s (1.38 ft/s)and 15 inclination angle.
