Rice Mill Machinery

The milling machines are controlled by a central control panel. A huller, a
whitener, a colour sorter, and a packer can be also controlled locally. All
the machines are sequentially operated, while the machines are conversely
stopped if an overload is detected. The main silos such as paddy silo,
brown rice silo and polished rice silo are very large, compared with the
auxiliary hoppers for each machine which can be used as buffer hoppers.
Their levels can be detected by proximity sensors (switches) attached to the
main silos and auxiliary hoppers. So, the exit gates of silos or hoppers are
automatically controlled by the signals from the proximity sensors. The
amount of materials in the main silos is automatically measured by the
load cells installed at the bottom of the main silo legs.
