The article deals with the technological process of seed drying beginning with the bottom layer, where the heated air enters, which is quickly saturated with moisture from the grains. The higher the seed layers are placed, the less they are drying, which is the main cause of uneven quality for a certain time and can cause cracks, injury and deterioration of quality. In the work, the diagrams of forces’ influence on grains are shown while moving along with the auger screw turns. The speed of the screw, the pressure of the seed to the body and the angle of the screw spiral, which influence the seeds injury, were studied. Optimal and proper drying conditions for seeds of different crops are established, which are the main factors in obtaining high quality seeds, especially of high energy and similarity.
