Damage of grain and seeds by machines makes essential negative impact on sowing qualities of seeds and processing properties of grain. While processing of grain a lot of various cars and actions differently injure weevils. To exclude traumatizing of grains in the course of mechanical preparation is not obviously possible, as working bodies of cars are a source of mechanical and thermomechanical damages. Besides, injured weevils on the physical-mechanical properties practically do not differ from whole, i.e. they do not possess signs for machine division. To reduce traumatizing of weevils is possible with the help of application of optimum technologies of machining, selection of the conforming technological modes, using as a part of actions of constructional stuffs with a low elastic modulus, perfection of their design data. For definition of injuring ability of various machines and actions through which takes place grain lots, have developed a procedure which allows with high degree of reliance to estimate complex traumatizing of weevils (namely, their outside integuments and intrinsic frames) machines and the actions which are a part of aggregates and complexes for machine preparation of grain and seeds. The developed procedure bases on a basis of the standard documents regulating test methods of agricultural machinery and together with it allows to consider connatural heterogeneity of the grain lots arriving for processing
