It consists of a whitening processing facility B related to a rice grain manufacturer that receives brown rice from the company and whitens it.

Of these, the dry preparation facility A is a cargo receiving and weighing section 1 for weighing paddy for each cargo, storage bins 2, 2, ..., A dryer 3, storage silos 4, 4 ,. , The product processing unit 6 and the like. Among them, the paddy is sampled from the cargo receiving / measuring unit 1 every time the cargo is received and passed through a near-infrared analyzer 7 for analyzing the components, and the taste value is calculated by the component analysis. At the same time, the moisture content is measured by component analysis. .

The control computer 8 is the cargo receiving and weighing unit 1 described above.
Data from food, taste data of NIR analyzer 7,
Calculate brown rice sales price and dry preparation price from moisture data. That is, the dryness preparation price to be collected from the farmers is calculated from the paddy water content at the time of receiving the goods, while it is determined which of the taste ranks the above taste data belongs to, and pays to the farmers considering the weight of the received goods. Calculate the brown rice sales price. This price may be based on paddy, or may be converted to brown rice after the yield can be determined by the non-illustrated voluntary inspection device.

The whitening treatment facility B is intended for small consumers, and has a plurality of receiving tanks 9a to 9d and a rice polishing apparatus 1.
0, a stone removing machine, etc. are provided so that the unpolished brown rice can be whitened by blending each type or appropriately. The rice milling control computer 12 is provided with a product type selection input section, a necessary weight input section, and the like. The blend ratio can be set in accordance with these inputs, and the number of rotations of the delivery valves 13a to 13d of the cargo receiving tanks 9a to 9d is controlled. The required weight is a scale 15 provided in the collecting hopper 14.
by. Reference numeral 16 is a grain elevator that conveys brown rice to the rice polishing apparatus 10.

Data from the near-infrared analyzer 17 is input to the rice milling control computer 12. The near-infrared analysis device 17 is configured to sample the brown rice in each of the cargo receiving tanks 9a to 9d and analyze each component. Therefore, these component data,
For example, the protein content rate, amylose content rate, fatty acid, etc. are appropriately stored in the storage unit.

Further, in the above-mentioned rice milling control computer 12, its control unit recognizes the current states of the cargo receiving tanks 9a to 9d in response to the designation of the above components from outside, and determines the necessary varieties and their blending ratios. It has a means to calculate. The designation of the components from the outside is performed by, for example, the magnetic card 18, and the contents of the magnetic card 18 are data held for each purchaser, which is determined based on the past favorite varieties, component contents, and the like.
