Annotation: Modern flax mills are equipped with new production lines for short and long fibres. In particular, the Belgian company Depoortere supplies such lines of various capacities. The equipment allows for continuous processing of flax, complete cleaning of flax seeds. Standard sorting tables are used for sorting flax (manually by length and colour). At the same time, back in the 1980s, based on the modernisation of standard sorting tables, original designs of experimental sorting tables equipped with aspiration devices were created and tested in production conditions. In this paper, an experimental conveyor table with a perforated surface is considered, equipped with a device for removing air contaminated with dust particles. An experimental table with a two-sided arrangement of workplaces with the function of localisation and removal of dust in the process of sorting long flax fibre is presented. The results of testing of experimental tables at Palekh flax plant, comments and suggestions from the employees of the flax plant regarding the design of the tables are presented. The designs of experimental tables equipped with aspiration devices, have significant advantages in comparison with standard tables, can be adapted to modern lines installed at flax plants.
