A study was carried out at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (RRII) to investigate the effect of rollers differential peripheral speed of commercial rubber roll husker and paddy moisture content on the husking index and percentage of broken rice. The experiment was conducted at six levels of rollers differential speed (1.5, 2.2, 2.9, 3.6, 4.3 and 5 m/s) and three levels of paddy moisture cont...

Many studies on the efficiency of feeding in finches concentrate on husking time in relation to average seed size and bird size. Large species are capable of eating larger seeds and are able to husk large seeds faster than smaller species. It is generally assumed that husking time is related to bite force. However, there are very few studies that investigate the relationship between husking tim...

cannot be had ; so I began enumerating all the waste products I could think of to replace it. As regards saw-dust, I knew of no quantity sufficiently large for the purpose. Paddy husking I knew was fairly common as a trade in the presidency, but I knew also that straw had been replaced in England by moss litter as stabling for horses and therefore concluded that straw or paddy husking were not ...

De-husking of foxtail millet is considered tedious work due to the small size millet. A study was performed determine de-husking parameters and also analyzing quality The soaked for 5h; then steamed 10 ± 1 min in a laboratory-scale parboiling unit drying at 50 0C 2 hours till moisture content reaches 12% (w.b). An increase length, breadth thickness observed from 2.66mm, 1.30mm 1.32mm 2.68mm, 1....

De-husking with traditional hand tools like machete or a spike depends on the skill of worker and involves training. Nowadays there is shortage such skilled Workers. These affect production rate de-husking coconut also more hazardous harmful to user. To overcome limitations problems in present methods, manual automated machine should be designed fabricated. This research design fabricate low-co...

Removing the green husk and drying walnut are one of the most important steps in post-harvest processing of walnut. Therefore, it is need to precisely identify a walnut’s shell. Physical and mechanical properties of shell in the four Persian walnut cultivars/genotypes were studied. This study investigated the mechanical properties of a walnut’s husk and calculated the required energy in the pro...
