abstract: The influence of the filling method on airflow through mass of wheat grain was investigated. The experiments were performed for wheat grain variety Rysa of 11% of moisture content and three methods of filling. The experiments were performed for air speed in the range from 0.03 to 0.4 ms-1. It was found that the way of sample filling had a significant influence on airflow resistance. The difference of airflow resistance between different methods of filling reached 50%.
