Sieving operation has been an age long practice of separation which is carried out manually or mechanically. The manual method is laborious and time consuming. This, therefore, work presents the development and testing of a cereal sieving machine. The test was carried out with corn seedlings already detached from the cob. The seedlings were ground and weighed. The different ground and weighed samples were then put in the machine for sieving. The time taken for the sieving operation was then taken. The test results showed that the machine efficiency was about 80 %, with an average output rate of about 0.026 kg/sec and a percentage loss of about 20 %. With these results, the machine could be said to be suitable for performing the function of sieving satisfactorily and, would be best suited for use in homes for subsistence operation or for use in small businesses such as Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs).
