Paddy Separators
Paddy separators are integral machines in the rice milling industry. They play a vital role in separating paddy grains from rice, ensuring the production of clean, polished rice. The process of rice milling involves several stages, and paddy separators are typically used after the paddy has undergone processes like dehusking and de-stoning. This guide provides an in-depth understanding of paddy separators, including their types, working principles, applications, and significance in the rice processing industry.
Working Principle
The working principle of paddy separators revolves around the differences in physical characteristics between paddy and rice grains. Paddy grains typically have a higher moisture content and are lighter than rice grains. This variation in weight and moisture content is exploited by paddy separators to achieve efficient separation.
Most paddy separators use some form of mechanical or pneumatic movement to agitate the grains, causing them to separate. The oscillating trays, screw conveyors, inclined surfaces, and air currents are all methods employed to accomplish this separation.
