The Dafe (PKV) Cleaner - Grader machine is a vital piece of equipment in rice processing, which serves the function of cleaning and grading of rice. The machine is designed to sort and remove the impurities, foreign particles and dust from the rice while also sorting it based on size and quality. Summarizing the working of the machine, the cleaner-grader enhances the overall quality of the rice by removing the impurities and other unwanted elements along with segregating the rice based on size, length, thickness allowing for separation of broken rice grains and resulting in the output of high-quality finish. The machine is equipped with a 3 HP three phase motor which allows the machine to achieve the processing capacity of 500-600 kilograms per hour.
Features
:
Compact Design : The commercial rice cleaner - grader is typically designed to be compact, making it suitable for small-scale operations or limited spaces.
High Efficiency : Rice cleaners are engineered for high efficiency in operation. They can process a significant amount of paddy quickly while maintaining a high shelling rate and minimizing broken rice during the cleaning process.
Easy Operation : This machine is designed for ease of use, often featuring simple controls that allow operators with minimal training to run them effectively.
Grading Capability : The grading function allows the separation of good quality rice from broken grains based on size and weight, ensuring that only the best product reaches consumers or markets.

Usage
:
1. Preparation :
Clean the Machine : Ensure that the rice cleaner and grader is free of any leftover grains or impurities from previous operations. A clean machine prevents cross-contamination and ensures efficient performance.
Inspect the Equipment : Check all components, including belts, screens, and electrical connections, to ensure they are in good condition. Report any issues to a qualified technician before operation.
Position the Machine : Place the rice cleaner and grader on a level surface with enough space for operation and maintenance. Ensure that it is near a power source and waste disposal area.
Connect Power Supply : Safely connect the machine to an appropriate power source, ensuring that all electrical connections are secure and meet local safety standards.
2. Feeding the Rice
Load the Rice : Place the unprocessed rice into the feed hopper. Be careful not to overload the machine, as this can hinder performance and cause damage.
Monitor the Flow : Observe the flow of rice into the machine to ensure it is feeding evenly. This helps maintain consistent cleaning and grading results.
3. Grading Process
Feed Clean Rice into the Grader : Once the rice is cleaned, transfer it to the grader. This may involve a conveyor belt or manually feeding it into the grading section.
Monitor Grading Performance : Observe how the rice is graded and ensure that the separation is consistent. Adjustments may be necessary to improve the efficiency and accuracy of grading.
4. Collecting the Output
Separate Graded Rice : Collect the graded rice into designated bins or containers. Label them clearly according to the quality grade for easy identification during packaging and distribution.
Dispose of Impurities : Ensure that all impurities collected during the cleaning process are disposed of properly, adhering to local waste disposal regulations.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the Machine After Use : After completing the cleaning and grading process, thoroughly clean the machine to remove any residual rice or impurities.
Regular Maintenance : Schedule regular maintenance checks to keep the machine in optimal working condition. This includes replacing worn-out parts and lubricating moving components.
Applications
:
Streamlined Operations : When integrated into a production line, these machines work together seamlessly to ensure that raw materials are cleaned before grading, leading to efficient workflow management.
Separation of Head Rice from Broken Rice : Graders sort whole grains (head rice) from broken grains based on size differences. This classification is vital for packaging and selling high-quality products.
Removal of Foreign Materials : Rice cleaners effectively eliminate unwanted materials such as stones, husks, dust, and other debris that may be mixed with the rice during harvesting and transportation. This is critical for ensuring food safety and quality.
Quality Control : By grading rice into different categories (such as premium, standard, and broken), processors can meet varying market demands and price points. This ensures that customers receive products that match their expectations.
