Rubber roll husker

Also called: paddy husker, rice huller machine, rubber roll sheller, rice husker, dhan bhangano machine

Step 5 of 8: Husking

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

Rubber roll husker: how it works

  1. A feeder spreads dry paddy in a thin, even sheet.
  2. The paddy falls between two rubber rolls that turn towards each other at different speeds.
  3. The difference in speed shears the husk off the grain without crushing it.
  4. Below the rolls an air stream, the husk aspirator, blows the light husk away from the brown rice and unhusked paddy.

Main types

Manual husker
The operator sets the gap between the rolls by hand and resets it as the rubber wears.
Pneumatic husker
Air cylinders keep an even pressure on the rolls and open them when the feed stops, so the rolls last longer.
Husker with built-in aspirator
Husking and husk separation in one machine, which saves space.

Where it fits in the process

It is the first milling machine, after drying and cleaning. Brown rice and the unhusked paddy go on to the paddy separator, and the husk goes to the boiler.

What to tell us

  • Raw or parboiled paddy, and long or short grain.
  • How much paddy the line mills in an hour.

Common questions

How does a rubber roll husker work?

Two rubber rolls turn towards each other, one faster than the other. A paddy grain caught between them is gripped on both sides and its husk is pulled open and off, while the soft rubber leaves the grain whole.

Why is a rubber roll husker better than an old steel huller?

A steel huller husks and whitens in one rough pass, which breaks many grains and mixes husk with bran. A rubber roll husker only removes the husk, gently, so the mill gets more whole rice and clean bran.

What is the price of a rice huller machine in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. The price depends on the roll size, manual or pneumatic control, the aspirator and whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.

  • Paddy separator

    A tray or compartment separator that sorts husked brown rice from paddy that kept its husk, and sends that paddy back to the husker.
