Features

Rice color sorting machine also named Rice colour sorter, it is according to the color differences of granular materials in raw rice: like stone,bad rice,black rice, half husked rice etc. using high-resolution CCD optical sensor to separate different granular materials, automatic sorting heterochromatic particles out of rice raw materials, so as to removal of impurities and enhance the quality of rice

Working principle

First of all, the rice is milled in the milling plant, taken through the 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 mixture raw rice will go into the hopper on top of the machine by elevator and then the rice will flow down along the chutes of colour sorter. Chutes of colour sorting machine will make rice flow streamlined for scanning by CCD sensors in scanning area, The moment the camera detects any color defects, the camera instructs the ejectors fitted in the machine to open the nozzle. The nozzle is connected to valves containing compressed air. This air is then used to shoot out the color defected material from the input rice. The types of defects in rice are: black tipped chalky, yellow, mouse droppings, immature grain, etc.

Working Environment

  1. The working environment: normal temperature, normal pressure, aeration-drying, dust-free place. Working temperature: 50°C ~ 350°C.
  2. Air system: air compressor, air tank, air dryer connect color sorter solenoid valve. Usually working pressure at least is 0.2MPa.
  3. Common Voltage: air compressor 380V, 50Hz. Color Sorter: 220V, 50Hz.
  4. Weight and production of machine: Machine weight 630 ~ 950Kg (kg), CSG-320 Channels Color Sorter Output capacity around 10T/H
