Title:

Integrated Rubber Roll Sheller Huller

Value Proposition:

Almost 30% of the paddy grown is milled in small capacity Engelberg huller in a single stage.  However, during this process, the by – products viz., husk and bran are obtained as a mixture and hence no further value addition is possible.  In addition, due to higher milling pressures, the yield of rice is lower.  To obviate these disadvantages, an Integrated rubber roll sheller huller system was designed.  In this system, to the existing huller, a rubber roll sheller with cascading aspirator is added.  The dehusking and polishing systems are separate and thus value of husk and bran is increased.  The bran from these mills are suitable for solvent extraction of oil.  All components are available indigenously in the country.  The capacity of the system is around 300 – 500 kg/h.

Summary Application:

an Integrated rubber roll sheller huller system was designed.  In this system, to the existing huller, a rubber roll sheller with cascading aspirator is added. 

Advantages:

The bran from these mills are suitable for solvent extraction of oil. 

All components are available indigenously in the country.  The capacity of the system is around 300 – 500 kg/
