Automated Rice Grain Sorter

Description

This instrument allows rice producers and processors to quickly and efficiently categorize their grain quality without the need for tedious manual analysis.

The rice inspector shines light on each individual grain of brown or polished rice to determine it’s color. Based on transparency/reflection, a line sensor determines shape characteristics to physically separate the sample into five classes.

Up to 2000 grains can be tested per batch at a rate of 12 rice kernels per second. A percentage breakdown for each class (even, cracked, immature, discolored, dead) is displayed and can be recorded when attached to an optional thermal printer. Selection levels can be adjusted.
