Rice Mill Flashcards
outer layer of the brown rice consisting of the aleurone cells covering the endosperm of the rice grain
bran
grains that break in the process of milling which have a size of less than eight-tenth (8/10) of the average length of whole grain
broken grains
dehulled palay (husk/hull removed) with the bran layer still intact
brown rice
measure of the ability of the machine to remove the hulls
coefficient of hulling
measure of the ability of the machine to remove the hulls without breaking the grain
coefficient of wholeness
grain or fraction of grain with its length equal to or greater than eight-tenth (8/10) of the average length of the whole grain
head rice
component of a rice mill that removes the hulls (palea and lemma) from the grains
huller
dehuller
product of the coefficient of hulling and the coefficient of wholeness of grains, expressed in percent
hulling efficiency
weight of palay per unit loading time into the hopper/intake pit, expressed in kilogram per hour
input capacity
grains obtained after the removal of hull and bran
milled rice
quantity of palay that the rice mill can process to a specified quality per total milling time, expressed in kilogram per hour
milling capacity
extent or degree by which the bran layer of the brown rice is removed as a result of whitening
milling degree
ratio of the weight of milled rice to the total weight of palay, expressed in percent
milling recovery
ratio of the milling recovery obtained in actual testing, to the milling recovery obtained from the laboratory test mill
milling recovery index
rice mill that employs a series of two or more whitening machines
multi-pass rice mill
