Development And Performance Evaluation Of Rice Destoning Machine
A motorized rice de-stoning machine was designed, fabricated and evaluated for performance. The traditional method of rice de-stoning machine characterized with a lot of deficiency in terms local rice containing smaller stones during de-stoning operation. A lot of energy is expended in solving the problem of operation. The rice de-stoning consists of the following part: Hopper, Vibrating Sieve, Machine Frame, Pulley, Eccentric Shaft, and Blower. The factors investigated were feed rate (500g/min) and variety off rice (Bokola, Kodoqiche, AlhajiA’aba). The result of the evaluation reveals that in Stone Separation Efficiency the third variety has the highest efficiency of (77.3%) and the first variety has the lowest efficiency of 72.6%, while in Rice separation efficiency the third variety also has the highest efficiency of 81.0% and the second variety has the lowest efficiency of 79.0%, the Impurity levels after separation are 7.8%, 7.5% and 6.5% respectively, the Tray losses remains the same. The rice de-stoning machine was powered by 1hp electric motor and the cost of production was estimated to be 108,700.
