AB - The low-cost cleaning and classification of granular agricultural products in  a vibrating environment is possible via the mathematical modeling of the  movement of a grain on the surface of the screen. In this study, design and  analysis of a vibratory screen used for cleaning and classifying peanuts  has been realized. Therefore, firstly a mathematical model of this process  has been developed based on analysis carried out on a grain making  translation on a vibrating surface. A 6- bar mechanism was selected as the  driving system and the kinematical analysis was performed to obtain the  basic inputs of the vibratory screen. Based on the mathematical model  developed, a design algorithm has been formed by which design and operating  parameters are selected so as to satisfy the necessary conditions for  effective sieving. This way ensures saving money and time. The algorithm  has been demonstrated on a numerical example and it is shown suitable to  sieve the peanut.
