For the design of automated sorting stations of solid municipal waste it is necessary to develop algorithms and devices that allow to determine the fractions of municipal solid waste (MSW) with the necessary detail. Currently, sorting stations have been created that allow to determine the basic morphological components of MSW, but the problem of in-depth detailing needs to be elaborated. The aim of the work is to develop an algorithm for the extraction of MSW fractions with the possibility of regulating the component composition of waste. A methodology for synthesizing a device for determining waste fractions is shown. It is proposed to use a finite sequence automaton as a sorting algorithm. The synthesis of logical equations on the basis of Moore's automaton is shown. Simulation of the device operation is carried out with the help of MULTISIM program. In the presence of certain sensors it is possible to realize this technique in practice. The results can be useful for the design of sorting stations of MSW . The results of the experiment demonstrated that with the help of sequence automaton synthesis technique it is possible to develop an analyzer for determining the refined waste fractions. For implementation in practice, it is necessary to have certain analyzers for determining the components of MSW, which can contribute to more detailed sorting of MSW in the design of sorting stations.
