RICE SORTING APPLICATION

Rice Color Sorter

For rice processors who need to remove visible kernel defects and contrasting foreign material while keeping good-product loss under review.

RiceApplication
ChuteTypical platform
Sample-ledSelection method
Suitable productPaddy, brown, polished or parboiled rice—subject to test
Common targetsYellow, chalky, black-tip and damaged kernels
ThroughputConfirmed from product and sustained line requirement
Final configurationSelected after sample and site-condition review

Actual performance depends on defect contrast, incoming variation, feed rate, recipe and pass count.

Representative rice input sample with dark kernels and foreign material before color sorting01

Representative sample test

Run the normal product variation and record the feed condition, settings and output streams.

Accepted clean white rice stream after color sorting review02

Accepted stream

Check residual target defects in the good product.

Reject and overflow streams

Review removed defects, saleable product carryover and any overflow that needs another pass.

What can be tested in your rice

Rice sample with yellow and discolored kernels for color sorting test review

Yellow and fermented kernels

Evaluate the visible color difference against the accepted rice stream.

Comparison of translucent rice grains and white belly chalky rice grains

Chalky and off-white kernels

Adjust the threshold while reviewing both product grade and yield retention.

Rice sample with contrasting foreign material separated for optical sorting review

Contrasting foreign material

Confirm whether stones, glass or plastic differ visibly from the rice in the sample.

Evidence that belongs with the recommendation

Feed: starting defect profile and material condition · Accept: residual target defects · Reject: removed defects and good-product carryover · Overflow: material that needs another pass or setting review · Conditions: feed rate, recipe and pass count.
