Design, development, and evaluation of a motorized rice grader

Abstract: The design and construction of a motorized rice grader were undertaken to classify rice grains into the head rice and broken rice. Three (3) screens of decreasing diameters were used inclined at angles ranging from 6, 8, and 16 0 and driven by a 5 hp motor to cause agitation and a pneumatic mechanism for blowing light chaff material. The performance efficiency of the developed machine was evaluated with milled rice at 15% moisture content (wet basis) at different feed gate levels (FGL) (5 to 20 mm). The result… Show more

“…Yet, using a separator in removing impurities from the rice is stressful and sufficient drying will be required to avoid the possibility of fungi or mold growth on the rice during storage [9]. [23] work on development of a motorized rice de-stoning machine. The technical definition of the design machine, nevertheless, are very complex and hard to reveal [21,27,1,5].…”

“…The investigations found in the review have different purposes, but one thing in common is to perform some analysis related to moisture content, subsequent product performance, and water-holding capacity among others, one of the products most worked and investigated is the rice with which was worked to measure the performance of a grader (Fabiyi et al, 2020;Ojediran et al, 2020), with this it is possible to identify new equipment that increases the speed of classification of different products. Another of the products that more is used for sifting is the grains of maize, the maize is widely used for animal feeding but on many occasions, this one remains with particles that diminish its quality and at the same time they can affect the animals, for this reason with the sifting it is sought to diminish the number of unwanted particles (Mugabi et al, 2019), also the sieving of corn is used to measure the kinetics of water absorption and wet milling of the same (Uriarte-Aceves et al, 2019, 2020) looking for which were the best conditions for the work of wet milling of corn.…”
