2.4. RICE SHELLERS

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL IN RICE SHELLERS

The technology comprises a dust containment system that contains emissions from various unit operations by installing suitable hoods/enclosures while ensuring their workability followed by a simple high efficiency cyclone for the control of dust emissions

Salient features of  technology :

• Suitable hoods/ enclosures for effective suction of particulate matter.
• Technology based on computer-aided design (CAD) of high efficiency cyclone separator.
• Cyclone separator having typical 1800 involutes entry.
• No additional motor required.
• Requires minimal maintenance vis-à-vis filter bags and wet scrubbers.
• Considerable increase in the life of rubber rolls fitted inside the paddy huskers due to reduction in friction.
• Improvement in quality of rice bran.
• Dust Collection Efficiency  : More than 90%
• Cost of system : Rs.60,000/-
• Pay back period : Less than one Shelling Season

Technology replicated in  1000 units.
