Abstract

                                The milling performance of emery cylinder though significantly superior to metal cylinder, the throughput of the machine was significantly low (about 50 %) when operated with emery cylinder even while maintaining the same huller settings. The varieties also significantly influenced the throughput of the machine The additives like husk or paddy at different proportions added to brown rice had no significant ef fact on the mill capacity. As the throughput decides the economic viability of any installation, the emery cylinder, though. its milling performance was good, it seems, cannot be recommeded for commercial use in hullers.
