The results of investigations of breakage and cracked grains of seed maize at shelling using "HEID" corn sheller, depending on moisture content in the grain, flow of ear through the sheller and tension of spring bolt on the output opening of sheller, are presented in the paper. On the basis of the results of investigations was found that the grain breakage increased with augmentation of the moisture content, flow of ears and at higher tightening of the spring bolt (it refers to hybrid NSSK 444 and NSSK 640). With ZPSK 677 hybrid, by increase of ear flow through the sheller, opposite results have been obtained. The cracks of grain do not depend significantly on the moisture content, but they increase moderately by augmentation of ear flow through the sheller. By shelling ears using the "HEID" sheller, moisture content of grain might not be higher than 18, and ear flow would not be higher than optimum.
