A hulled rice distribution device () is disposed between a hulling section () and a wind sorting section () of a rice huller (). This distribution device () comprises an distribution gutter () for receiving hulled rice falling from the hulling section, and a screw () for conveying the hulled rice having flowed into the distribution gutter () in the lengthwise direction of the distribution gutter. A plurality of holes (and) for the hulled rice to fall through are formed in the distribution gutter (), and some of them may be blocked or opened by a falling rice control plate ().

Hulled rice distribution device in rice huller

In a rice huller, a first small-diameter pulley and a second large-diameter pulley are attached to a first roll shaft. A first large-diameter pulley and a second small-diameter pulley are attached to a second roll shaft. This configuration makes it possible to switch between a first driving state in which a rice hulling operation is performed by passing and driving a belt between the first small-diameter pulley on the first roll shaft and the first large-diameter pulley on the second roll shaft and a second driving state in which a rice hulling operation is performed by passing and driving a belt between the second large-diameter pulley on the first roll shaft and the second small-diameter pulley on the second roll shaft.
