This paper presents the main theoretical elements underlying the process of dimensional separation of the fragments of chopped medicinal plants. To sort chopped plant mixture from the same medicinal plant, there are used vibratory classifiers with plane sifters, which are the active working body. Case studies were conducted and there were analyzed, based on numerical applications, the movements of plant fragments on a classifier with linear vibrations along the sifter, existing in practice. Numerical simulation has provided information on trajectory parameters of the jump of a plant fragment on the vibratory plane sifter, useful elements in the theoretical grounding of the equipment workflow.
