RICE GRAIN
QUALITY INSPECTOR




RICE GRAIN QUALITY INSPECTOR

Check brown rice and milled rice with quickly and correctly, and it will analyze and decide their composition and grade.

The machine, model: RS-2000 mainly consists of 3 sensors which are "Through/Refrection (T/R) checking head", "Red/Green (R/G) light checking head" and "Crack checking head. Then, it can analyze and decide each rice grains appearance quality and grade by lighting to rice grains one by one.
Measuring way of the machine is quite easy, because push "Measure" and "Start" keys only in order after put sample rice into the machine, and built-in Computer will analyze and decide rice composition and grade as follows,

Brown rice: 6 classifications
Fine grain, Immature grain, Damaged grain, Dead grain, Colored grain and Cracked grain.
Milled rice: 5 classifications
Fine grain, Chalky grain, Damaged grain, colored grain and Broken grain.

with full automatically.
Then, the machine decides rice grade in four ranks as "S (best)", "A (better)", "B (good)" and "C (no good)" depends on each composition and their amount ratio, and prints out their data. Deciding and grading standards of the machine are based on "Farm Crops Inspection Standards". But, it is possible to adjust their standards according to you requirements.



RS-2000


UTILIZATION
  1. Quality check at rice receiving time in "Country Elevator" and "Rice Center" etc.
  2. Preliminary quality check at the time of rice separation.
  3. Quality check and control of rices in "Rice Mill Factory".
  4. Rice grading and separation works in "Laboratories and Research Institutes" etc.

Cautions:
  1. It is possible to check grains which are fine grain, immature grain, colored grain and Dead grain etc.
  2. It is hard to check grains depends on their degree; damaged grain by blight and insects, coored grain, germinated grain, cracked grain and broken grain.
  3. It is impossible to check grains which are spoiled germ grain and black back-side grain.
  4. Foreign materials and other grains are out of grading.
