摘要:
The field of the invention is food drying apparatus and methods. In particular, the invention discloses a rotary dryer which dries food granules, such as rice, by rotation within a perforated cylindrical barrel, to prepare the rice for packaging. The dryer provides high velocity drying zones along its length, and high temperatures may be used.

A color sorting apparatus for beans includes a transferring device for transferring beans to be sorted to a detection position, an illuminating device for illuminating the bean at the detection position, a light receiving device for receiving a transmitted light transmitted through the bean and outputting a detection signal, a control device for operating the detection signal, comparing the detection signal operated with a predetermined threshold value to determine whether the bean is a good or defective one, and outputting an ejection signal when the bean is determined as a defective one, and a sorting device for removing the defective bean based on the ejection signal. The transferring device includes two endless belts defining therebetween a parallel gap on which the beans are held and a driving motor for driving the endless belts. The illuminating device is provided below the parallel gap defined by the two endless belts and the light receiving device is provided at a position opposite to the illuminating device with the bean being interposed therebetween. As the beans are stably transferred to the detection position, the detection signals based on the transmitted light from the beans are stably obtained without being influenced by the transferring device.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for cooking food products. In particular, cereal grains and rice products may be cooked pursuant to a multi-step process in which rice is first prewashed, presteamed, and then allowed to absorb water in a steeping step for a short time before being cooked in a steam cooker. The rice may be passed along to various dryers, and later dried and packaged for use by the consumer. Further, an apparatus and method are disclosed for using and recirculating water in a more efficient and economical manner in a food processing operation.

A vertical milling machine comprises a first milling part and a second milling part situated under the first milling part, the first and second milling parts having a common main shaft extending vertically. The first milling part has a supply part of grain on an upper end side thereof and a discharge pare of grain having been milled in the first milling part on a lower end side thereof. The second milling part has a supply part of grain to be milled in the second milling part on a lower end side thereof and a discharge part of grain having been milled in the second milling part on an upper end side thereof. The grain discharge part of the first milling part is communicated with the grain supply part of the second milling part through a grain transfer passage extending therebetween. Thus, degree of milling (degree of whitening) in the first and second milling parts can be adjusted individually without difficulty by provision of resistance means individually with respect to the discharge parts of the first and second milling parts.
摘要:
An abrasive type vertical grain milling machine comprises a perforated cylindrical body which serves to define an outer periphery of a grain milling chamber and which has a plurality of vertically arranged resistance members projected radially into the grain milling chamber so as to impart resistances to motions of the grains in a circumferential direction of an abrasive type roll assembly, an amount of projections of each of the resistance members being made to be adjustable, and further has projection amount adjusting mechanisms for adjusting independently the respective amounts of projection in the radial direction of the plural resistance members located in different vertical positions, and therefore, it is possible to adjust independently the resistance imparted to the motions of the grains within the grain milling chamber in each of the upstream-side region and downstream-side region of the grain milling chamber.

An abrasive type vertical grain milling machine in which each of spacers comprises a boss portion fitted on a main shaft and a plurality of arm portions extending from the boss portion in the radially outwardly and serving to induce bran removing air into a grain milling chamber through spaces between the circumferentially adjacent arm portions, is capable of discharging bran produced in the grain milling chamber with high bran discharging power and has little possibility that the bran removing power is reduced during operation.

An apparatus for manufacturing no-bran cereal such as no-bran rice which require no washing before cooking. With the apparatus, bran stuck on a surface of a grain of the polished cereal is easily removed without imparting any damage on the surface, and further moisture in the grain is maintained to increase taste of the cereal. Moisture is added to the polished cereal and granular material is mixed and stirred with the moistened polished cereal to polish a surface of each grain of the polished cereal and remove bran stuck on the surface of the polished cereal. Then, the polished cereal is separated from the granular material to obtain the no-bran rice.
摘要:
A rotary shaking separator for separating unhulled rice and unpolished rice from each other includes at least one separating vessel and a plurality of drives located at even intervals on the peripheral edge of the separating vessel, the plurality of drives being actuated to bring the whole of the separating vessel into a rotationally shaking motion.
摘要:
A quality evaluation method for granular objects includes the steps of: irradiating objects from a front side and a back side; taking a reflection light image and a transmission light image from both the front and back sides of the objects; obtaining optical information of the objects by image-processing the reflection and transmission light images; obtaining shape information of the objects based on the optical information; determining the quality of each of the objects based on the optical information and the shape information; and counting the numbers of objects per quality and obtaining ratios of the objects per quality against the total number of objects. The data from the front and the back sides of the granular object are analyzed to enhance the precision of the results of the quality analysis, and in particular, to enhance the precision in detecting cracks.
