Shijiazhuang xinlu technology co.,ltd offers the Paddy Gravity Separator, a standalone machine designed specifically for paddy rice prior to hulling. The separator focuses on removing low-density paddy, immature kernels, and other light impurities that compromise milling quality and huller performance.
Working principle
A uniform layer of paddy flows across an inclined deck that vibrates at a controlled stroke and frequency while an upward airflow passes through the grain bed. Mature, heavier paddy settles and flows toward the clean outfeed; lighter paddy, dust and husk fragments are drawn away into a reject outlet. Fine tuning of deck angle, stroke, and air volume compensates for moisture and varietal differences typical across paddy harvests.
Operation and adjustment
Operators should sample both clean and reject streams during setup and adjust deck angle and air volume incrementally. Paddy with elevated moisture may require lower airflow and modified stroke to avoid aspiration of acceptable grain. Regular operator checks during harvest peaks are recommended to maintain consistent separation as field conditions change.
Maintenance and service
Maintenance includes cleaning the aspirator pathway, replacing deck mats as they wear, and periodic lubrication of vibratory bearings. Accessibility for cleaning is a key design consideration; panels open for rapid access. Shijiazhuang xinlu technology co.,ltd supports installations with spare parts, operator coaching and maintenance planning.
Customization
Options include integrated multi-deck separators for finer classification, enhanced dust extraction systems, and skid-mounted frames for rapid installation on site. The unit is suitable as a pre-huller polishing module or as a standalone separator to improve seed lot uniformity.
