Paddy separator: how it works

  1. The mixture of brown rice and unhusked paddy from the husker flows onto tilted trays with a dimpled surface.
  2. The trays shake back and forth. Brown rice is heavier and smoother, so it sinks and is carried up the slope.
  3. Paddy is lighter and rougher; it stays on top and slides down the slope.
  4. Brown rice goes on to the whitener, paddy goes back to the husker, and a mixed middle part goes round again.

Main types

Tray separator
A stack of dimpled trays. Compact, and the usual choice in modern mills.
Compartment separator
A swinging table of zigzag channels. Slower and larger, but gentle and long lasting.

Where it fits in the process

It follows the husker and its aspirator. It sends brown rice forward to whitening and returns paddy for a second pass through the husker.

Common questions

Why is a paddy separator needed after the husker?

No husker removes the husk from every grain in one pass; pressing harder would break the rice. The separator takes out the grains that are still in the husk, so they can be husked again and do not reach the whitener.

How does a paddy separator tell paddy from brown rice?

By three differences: paddy is lighter, bulkier and rougher than brown rice. On a shaking, tilted tray these differences make the two move in opposite directions.

What is the price of a paddy separator machine in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. The price depends on the type, the number of trays or compartments and whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.

  • Rubber roll husker

    Two rubber rolls turning at different speeds rub the husk off each grain without breaking it, and the husk is blown away.
