To clarify in detail for the results obtained in previous report, the investigation were performed on the properties of grain dust generation by the condition of moisture contents of rough rice and husk.
By use of the measuring device built as a trial for generation and separation of the grain dust, good results were obtained.
The quantity of generated grain dust which early step of separate operation, was gained 50-80% of final step of operation.
It was become clear that the higher moisture contents of rough rice, the more quantity of dust was generated, and the quantity of dust generation of high moisture contents rough rice about 25% was 2-3 times as much as the dried rough rice under 5% moisture contents.
The relation of moisture contents and properties of dust generation were proved between brown rice, husk, and trichome (grain dust).
With consideration of properties of particle-size of grain dust, it was discussed on the mechanism of generation of dust, and it was explained on the difference and contradiction from generally recognized on the characteristics of grain dust generation.
