The grain germination installation works as follows. On the first day, water is poured into water container 1 (Fig. 1). Using a temperature sensor 5, the temperature of the water is measured and, if necessary, the water is heated to a given temperature using a tubular electric heater 6. Using a bubbler 4, air is supplied to the water located in the water tank 1. Grain is placed in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) and then trays 18 are installed in the upper container for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower container for germination 7 (Fig. 1, 3). Trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) are installed on supports 17. Taps 14, 15 (Fig. 1) are closed. Using pump 2, water from water tank 1 is supplied to pipeline 9, then to mechanical cleaning filter 10, then through open tap 12 to the upper germination tank 8 (Fig. 1, 2), and also through open tap 11 (Fig. 1) into the lower germination container 7 (Fig. 1, 3). After establishing the required water level in the upper tank for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower tank for germination 7 (Fig. 1, 3), taps 12 and 11 (Fig. 1) also shut off the grain that is placed in trays 18 ( Fig. 2, 3) are soaked in water for three hours. Ultraviolet lamps of the C spectrum 25, 27 (Fig. 1) are turned on for ten minutes and water is disinfected in the upper germination container 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower germination container 7 (Fig. 1, 3). After three hours, taps 14 and 15 are opened and water from the upper germination tank 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower germination tank 7 (Fig. 1, 3) is poured into the drain pipeline 13 (Fig. 1), then into the filter for mechanical cleaning 16 and into a water container 1. The grains in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) are kept without water for five hours. Then the taps 14, 15 (Fig. 1) are closed, the taps 11, 12 are opened, the pump 2 is turned on and water is supplied from the water tank 1 to the upper container for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower container for germination 7 (Fig. 13). These technological operations are repeated for two days.

On the third day, the grain in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3), which are located in the upper tank for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2), is illuminated with a lamp emitting a blue spectrum 23 (Fig. 1) and a lamp emitting a red spectrum 24 V for eight hours.

Reflectors 28 (Fig. 1) reflect light and direct it to the sprouted grain located in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) located in the lower germination container 7 (Fig. 1, 3). Then the lamps emitting the blue spectrum 23 and 30 and the lamps emitting the red spectrum 24, 31 are turned off. After this, without lighting, the grain is in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) for twelve hours. Taps 14, 15 (Fig. 1) are closed. Using pump 2, water from water tank 1 is supplied to pipeline 9, then to mechanical cleaning filter 10, then through open tap 12 to the upper germination tank 8 (Fig. 1, 2), and also through open tap 11 (Fig. 1) into the lower germination container 7 (Fig. 1.3).

After three hours, taps 14 and 15 are opened and water from the upper germination tank 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower germination tank 7 (Fig. 1, 3) is poured into the drain pipeline 13 (Fig. 1), then into the filter for mechanical cleaning 16 and into a water container 1. The grain in trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) is kept without water for five hours. Then the taps 14, 15 (Fig. 1) are closed, the taps 11, 12 are opened, the pump 2 is turned on and water is supplied from the water tank 1 to the upper container for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower container for germination 7 (Fig. 13). Technological operations are repeated for three days. The total duration of grain germination is five days. Then open the taps 14, 15 (Fig. 1), water from the upper germination container 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower germination container 7 (Fig. 1, 3) is poured into the drain pipeline 13 (Fig. 1), then into the filter for mechanical cleaning 16 and into the water container 1. Then the trays 18 (Fig. 2, 3) with sprouted grain are taken by the handles 19 (Fig. 1, 2, 3) and removed from the upper container for germination 8 (Fig. 1, 2) and the lower container for germination 7 (Fig. 1, 3).

The installation for grain germination provides mechanization of the process of grain germination, due to lighting and water supply to the grain, increasing the volume of sprouted grain output due to placing containers in the vertical direction, reducing operating costs due to the reuse of water, reducing the cost of moistening grain, due to humidification grains by flooding, water disinfection due to irradiation with ultraviolet light of the C spectrum.
