Abstract
A sensor arrangement for detecting properties of a mixture including grain and contaminants in a cleaning device of a combine harvester. The sensor arrangement is equipped with a sensor element for providing an output signal in respect of a property, detected by the sensor element, of the mixture adjacent to the sensor element. The sensor element is configured to be brought operationally continuously in succession into different positions in relation to the mixture in order to sense different points of the mixture in the different positions of the sensor element.
