Development of an Automatic Rice-Milling Machine for Rice-Assay (Part 1)

Outline of the Machine

Abstract

We developed an automatic rice-milling machine for rice-assay, which has high accuracy of milling rate and milling uniformity. The machine can also examine the milling properties of rice. The automatic rice-milling machine is vertical friction type, and can mill rice automatically. This machine can mill in two different ways. One is the Milling Rate Control Mode; and the other is the Milling Frequency Control Mode. In the milling rate control mode, The desired friction resistance and milling rate were selected, and the machine automatically repeated the milling processes at the milling rate. Also, in the milling frequency control mode, a number of milling processes and friction resistance values were selected, and the machine automatically repeated the milling processes.
