Grain Husker

After harvest, the grains are processed with various machines to achieve healthy end products. Grains like rice, pulses, wheat, soybean, etc are cleaned and milled before they are packed and marketed. The grains consist of many impurities like stones, chaff, husks, etc which are cleaned by using various machines. Husks are the outer covering of the grains which are coarse and are non edible and hence it is necessary to clean them before further processing takes place. Grain husker are used widely to remove these types of impurities from the grains.

How does a Grain Husker works?
The grain husker is used for removing the outer layer of the grains. The husk is removed by the gentle action of the rubber rolls which are applied to the grains rotating with different speed. The advantage of using rubber roll is that, it reduces rice breakage and has great aspiration efficiency. The air aspirators in the grain husker removes the husk by means of air pressure. The feeding system in the husker is designed in such a manner that the grains entering the machine orients itself in the best possible and direction with viable speed. This arrangement also reduces the possibility of breaking of grains. The product is distributed evenly in the husking chamber. The movement and feeding of the husker is monitored by a level detector. The other important instruments of the husker are roller with gear control, rubber roller air cooling system, aspirator fan, and collecting chamber.
