This machine is a Optical Sorter of the chute system which adopts a highly-sensitive camera and can
sort out an accepted grain and a rejected grain with the delicate difference of hue and tone with
sufficient accuracy.In order to fully demonstrate the function and performance of this machine, and also
in order to use regularly for a long time, read this instruction manual throughly. The outline about this
instruction manual is explained below.

Mechanism of Machine
The materials thrown in from the material tank are sent out with a feeder, and are supplied to a chute.
The materials which the flow was stabilized with the chute were given up by the optical section are
checked with the upper and lower cameras, and what was distinguished from rejected grains is flown
by the air from an air nozzle at a reject outlet. Adoption of a highly-sensitive camera and a stabilized
supply realize high-precision sorting.

1 FOR SAFETY
This chapter presents a list of safety guidelines to prevent a fatal or serious injury to the operator.
1.1 Safety Requirements and Caution Warnings
The safety guidelines are divided into two sections: requirements for use to ensure operator safety and
caution warnings to prevent accidents.
1.1.1 Safety Requirements
(1)Operator must have hair cut short and wear clothes and shoes that are free of
stray or loose fabric in order to protect from advertent contact with machinery.
Always wear a helmet and safety shoes when carring out any inspection or
maintenance.
(2) Ensure that passages around the machine, as well as surrounding areas, are kept clean at all
times.
(3) Always properly ground the machine in order to protect personnel from fires or electric
accidents caused by current leaks.
(4)
Always inspect the machine before starting operation.
When carrying out any inspection work, always power off and clearly indicate that the machine
is under inspection or maintenance both in the control room and on the control panel.
(5)
Always power off before inspection and maintenance and affix an “Under Inspection” sign over
the power switch. After the inspection, be sure all tools are picked up.
(6)
Check all bolts, nuts, and belts for any looseness or damage.
Be sure to replace all covers after completing this check.
(7) Check for any cuts or damage to power cord, wiring, and cables.
Ensure all connectors and plugs are seated properly.
(8)
Always stop the machine when greasing the driving part of the machine.
(9)
You should get familiarized yourself with the power off procedure for a case of emergency.
(10)
When two or more persons operate the machine, each person must confirm readiness to the
others before starting the machine.
FOR SAFETY

This shows a potential hazard. Failure to follow this warning
increase the possibility of middle or minor class injury,
damage to equipment or machinery, or trouble with the
material or product.
This warning calls attention to, and places emphasis on,
certain special information.

NOTE
Handling of Hazard Label
• Be sure all hazard labels can be easily seen and read.
Clean or replace the label if legibile.
• Use cloth, water and detergent to remove the dirt from a hazard label.
Never use organic solvents or gasoline.
• Replace damaged, missing, or unreadable hazard labels with new ones.

* Inorganic substances are noncarbon compounds, including stones and glass.
* Capacity depends on material variety and mixing rate of contaminants.
* When processing materials of very high mixture rates of contamination, large volume of
compressed air is required. Be careful of your compressor capacity.
* This machine is without conveyors. The user shall prepare conveyers. (Available as an option.)
* Use the U channel chute if primary sorting volume is 0.45t/h or less.
Material is continuously supplied through the intake hopper and feeder, and the flow is rectified by the
chute.
The rectified flow of rice grains enters the optical section at a constant rate.
The optical section is illuminated by four fluorescent lamps and halogen lamps placed on the front and
rear sides. The fluorescent lamp is the light source to sort any discolored and chalky grains and the
halogen lamp is the light source to sort glass, stone and plastics in the grain.
Rice passing through the optical section is observed from both front and rear sides.
When any discolored grains, chalky grain, glass, stone and plastic materials (rejects) are detected by the
reflected or passed light.
They are blown off by the air jet from the ejector to the outside of the accept outlet (reject outlet).
The wiper is provided to keep the anti-dust glass screen clean for the consistent sorting function.

3 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
!
•Wrong choice of the location for installation may cause injuries.
3.1 Caution of Installation
(1) Place the machine horizontally.
The machine should be installed on the level surface.
(2) Install the machine at a vibration-free place.
When installing the machine on a common base together with other machines, special attention
should be paid to the strength of the base. And when mounting a large hopper tank on top of the
machine, avoid attaching it directly to the machine itself to prevent adverse effects by the vibration

SSEMBLY AND
caused by the down flow of materials. Strong vibrations will cause the down flow of materials
through the feeder while the machine is not operation, or cause poor contact in the electrical
connections.
(3) Avoid the influences of sunlight and illumination.
If strong lights directly enter the optical section by the passage of time, the brightness in the optical
section will fluctuate which may induce failures in sorting operation. When installing the machine
near the windows facing south, a proper measure should be taken to avoid the fluctuation of
brightness. In addition, pay attention not to allow light from fluorescent lamps or mercury lamps to
enter the detecting section because it may cause malfunction.
(4) On ambient temperature, humidity, dust and other environmental factors.
Operating ambient temperature range is 0℃ to 40℃. Avoid to install the machine on the location
where it is humid, hot, or dusty. Install a heater for cold district of option when the ambient
temperature becomes below 10℃. In case that the ambient temperature arounf the machine exceeds
the specified range, install the air conditioner.
(5) Avoid to install the sorter on the process next following the rice milling.
It must be installed on the process coming just after grain size selection.The chute is likely to collect
bran immediately after the rice milling, or in winter. Ideally, it should be placed after the cooling
process. If the bran still adheres to the chute, turn on the heater switch. In case of brown rice sorting,
keep temperature difference between brown rice and outside less than 5℃. If brown rice stored in
low temperature is sorted directly, condensation on the surface of brown rice causes bran adhesion
in brown rice tank and on chute, there is a possibility of having a bad influence on sorting
performance. In this case, use chute heater unit for brown rice of option.If the sorter is installed after
the process of removing the broken grain or bran, it will not only minimize failures but improve
efficiency. Rotary sifter and white rice grading machine should be installed in the process preceding
to the new color sorter.
