    PROBLEM SET

    AB PRODUCTS PROCESSING AND STORAGE (ABE 326)


    On a clean bond paper of any size; write the problem, given, required and solution. Box your final answer.
    DATE OF SUBMISSION: May 13, 2024 @ 8 am

    1. A single-pass rice mill was tested for 30 min. and gave the following results: input paddy,
    1000 kg; milled rice produced, 650 kg; broken rice produced, 150 kg; and weight of head
    rice, 200 kg. Compute the following: (a) Throughput capacity, (b) % Milling recovery,
    (c) % Broken grains, and (d) % Head rice recovery.

    2. Five tons of paddy milled in 6 hours produces 3950 kg of brown rice and 3250 kg of
    milled rice. What is the milling recovery?

    3. What is the hulling coefficient of the huller in problem 2?

    4. If the head rice recovery of the paddy in problem 2 is equal to 85%, what is the amount
    of broken grains?

    5. Still referring to problem 2, what is the amount of rice hull produced during milling?

    6. A disk huller with 600-mm diameter will be installed as a return huller for a rice milling
    plant. As an Agricultural Engineer, determine the diameter of the pulley required for the
    huller. The motor for the huller will have 4-inches pulley diameter and is expected to run
    at 1740 rpm.

    7. A rice milling plant is to be designed to run at 5 tons-per-hour throughput rate. The design
    milling recovery is 69% while the head rice recovery is 95%. What is the input capacity
    of the rice mill? What is the tons of broken grains produced by the rice mill, and the tons
    of brown rice it produces per hour.

    8. A rubber-roll husker was tested to determine its performance. The husker ran for 2 hours
    at a rate at 1000 kg of input paddy. The weight of brown rice obtained after passing the
    husker was 805 kg. The weight of whole brown rice obtain per kg of sample was 900
    grams. What is the hulling coefficient, wholeness coefficient, and hulling efficiency of
    the huller? What is the throughput capacity of the husker, in kilogram per hour of brown
    rice?

    9. A 5 ton per hour rice mill plant is to be designed. The design milling recovery and hulling
    efficiency of the rice mill are 69% and 95%, respectively. How many compartments are
    needed for the paddy separator of the rice mill? Assume a 50-kg brown rice/hr-comp.

    10. A one-ton-per-hour rice mill is designed. The milling recovery is 68% while the hulling
    efficiency is 90%. What size of paddy separator will you recommend?
