Application in Rice Grading and Sorting
Final Defect Rejection: A crucial upgrade for commercial rice processors aiming for premium export markets. Installed at the end of the line, the CCD rice color sorter visually inspects every grain, rejecting impurities that mechanical grading cannot catch.
Core FunctionOptical color sorting for removing discolored, defective or foreign grains from finished rice.
Buyer ValueImproves final rice appearance and market grade by using camera detection and air ejection after mechanical grading.
Line IntegrationWorks near the finishing section after whitening or polishing and before packing, separating rice by size, length, color or defects according to final quality requirements.

Output / Next Step
Selected clean rice for final packing
Key Features
Improves Finished Rice Classification and Appearance
Separates finished rice by size, shape or color so the final product can meet different market grades.
Grade Separation
Separates whole rice, head rice and broken rice according to the selected screen or grading principle.
Quality Control
Reduces off-size, off-color or defective grains before final packing.
Market Flexibility
Helps produce different finished rice grades for wholesale, retail or branded rice sales.
Working Principle
How It Works in the Process
The material feeds into each chute uniformly because of the action of vibrator. When the materials are dropped down,the CCD signal will find out the unqualified particles and impurities, the ejector will blow the defective particles out.
Input
White rice enters the grading, sizing or sorting section.
Classification
The machine classifies rice by size, length, thickness or optical quality.
Separated Grades
Head rice, broken rice, unsuitable kernels or defective grains are separated.
Output
Qualified rice moves to packing, storage or further quality control.
Technical Specifications
Technical Specifications
CCD Rice Color Sorter specifications are selected by sorting capacity, number of outlets/channels, rice variety and required finished rice grade.
| Item | Specification | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|

Grading & Sorting Selection
How to Choose Rice Grading or Color Sorting Equipment
Select by the defect you need to remove: broken rice, size variation, length difference, thickness difference or color defects.
Broken Rice & SizeUse white rice graders or rotary graders when the goal is to separate whole rice and broken rice by size.
Length or ThicknessUse length graders or thickness graders when rice shape consistency is important for the target market.
Color DefectsUse a color sorter when yellow, chalky, black, spotted or foreign-color grains must be removed.
