Rice Husker

Husk or hull is the outer hard protective covering of the rice which cannot be consumed by human beings. Husking is the process by which outer husk of the rice is removed by using rice husker machine. During milling operations when the outer husk of the rice is removed it creates brown rice. The continuation of the process results in the creation of white rice.

Features
Rice husker machine has the following features:

• It is easy to operate machine.
• Due to its small size, it takes less space for the operation.
• It consists of rollers, separator, weight pressing rollers etc.
• Speed of the roller is adjustable.
• Normally the rice husker has air cooling system.
• Some of the rice husker machines also have pneumatic control system.

Mechanical Operations
In the husking machine the paddy or rice is fed into a husking chamber. The rollers in the chamber moves in the opposite direction with different speeds. The paddy is husked when it is passed between the rollers. The pneumatic control system in some of the husker machine ensures a uniform husking ratio. The rice so husked is discharged into the aspirator which separates the brown rice, husk and immature grains. The separated grains are then separately discharged by the screw conveyors.
