Rice Color Sorting Machines Are Used in Rice Mills During The Processing of Rice

Rice color sorting machines are used in rice mills during the processing of rice. It is the last stage before packing of processed rice. First of all the rice is milled in the milling plant, taken through paddy boiling unit, drier, destoner, husker, huller/ sheller and then the produced final rice is taken to the color sorter machine. In this stage, the rice is scanned using a machine that has a line scan camera. The moment the camera detects any color defect the camera instructs the ejectors fitted in the machine to open the nozzle. The nozzle is connected with valves containing compressed air. This air is used to shout out the color defect material from the input rice. The types of defect in rice are: tip black, chalky, yellow, mouse drops, immature grain etc. Source: en.wikipedia.org
