Effects of operating factors of an axial flow rice combine harvester on grain breakage
The objective of this research was to study the effects of operating factors of an axial flow rice combine harvester ongrain breakage, which comprised rotor speed (RS), louver inclination (LI), grain moisture content (MC), feed rate (FR), andgrain to material other than grain ratio (GM). The study w...

description | The objective of this research was to study the effects of operating factors of an axial flow rice combine harvester ongrain breakage, which comprised rotor speed (RS), louver inclination (LI), grain moisture content (MC), feed rate (FR), andgrain to material other than grain ratio (GM). The study was conducted on Khao Dok Mali 105 and Chainat 1, which are thetwo important rice varieties of Thailand. The results of this study indicate that for both of these varieties, the MC and the RSaffect the amount of grain breakage. On the contrary, the LI, the FR, and the GM do not have any effect. The MC was foundto have a greater impact on grain breakage than the RS of Khao Dok Mali 105, whereas the RS has a greater effect onChainat 1 grain than the MC. |
