Cultivator
Paddy Seeder is for sowing germinated paddy seed directly in wetland field.
There is no need for transplantation. It is a manually pulled implement. It
covers 8 rows of 20cm row-to-row spacing at a time. It is made up of plastic
materials. With an aim to fulfill the wide needs of the agricultural sector, we
are affianced in offering supreme quality Paddy Seeder that is a gardening
equipment used to plant rice seeds. It is designed & manufactured using the
finest quality components and sound techniques under the supervision of
skilled professionals. To ensure its flawlessness at clients' end, the
offered Paddy Seeder is tested on various parameters by our quality
controllers prior to dispatching the delivery from our end.
Rice Transplanter
A rice transplanter is a
specialized transplanter fitted to
transplant rice seedlings onto paddy field.
Mainly two types of rice transplanter i.e.,
riding type and walking type. Riding type is
power driven and can usually transplant six
lines in one pass. On the other hand,
walking type is manually driven and can
usually transplant four lines in one pass.
Although rice is grown in areas other than Asia, rice transplanters are used
mainly in East, Southeast, and South Asia. This is because rice can be grown
without transplanting, by simply sowing seeds on field, and farmers outside
Asia prefer this fuss-free way at the expense of reduced yield
Rice Miller
The purpose of rice mill machine is to remove the impurities from rice by removing
husk and bran layers.

IMPORTANT • Do not turn the key switch to “Start” for more than 10 seconds.
The engine consumes a lot of electricity during starting. Turning the key switch
for too long can lead to damage to the electric system, the battery may cause
a fire. After turning the key switch to “Start” for 10 seconds, set it to “Off”, let
the battery rest for one minute and then start the engine. • Do not use an
external power supply to start the engine, it will damage the electric system
1. Fixing the machine frame on the plain ground and install on the frame
the rice mill machine, grinding machine and power supply (electric motor or
diesel engine). Next is the installation of belt pulley system. Before putting on
the safety cover, please make sure that all the belt pulleys are in a same level
and the belt position is just proper (not too tight, not too loose, normally when
pressing the belt, the movement distance could be 2~2.5mm). When turning
the belt pulleys, all of them should be flexible and without abnormal noise.
2. Open the rice mill cover to check if the milling roller and milling knives
are all in well position.Normally on entrance side the gap between milling roller
and knife is 3mm while on the exit side the gap is 2.5mm.
3. Before exact processing works, please put the machine in empty
running for 3~5 minutes to make sure the electric motor or diesel engine are
working in good condition and in correct direction.
4. After starting, please slowly take off the block board on milling entrance
to allow the processingquantity increased step by step and to test the milled
rice quality by adjusting the entrance pressure.
5. In case you need a terminal of the machine during the processing,
please close the milling entrance first and wait till the milling finished before
actual stop of the machine.Operate rice milling processing machine in a
correct way and make it work you for a long life, bringing you more benefits.
Operation procedure:
2. To pay attention to check whether there are nails, stones and other sundry
mixing with the rice, in case of going into chamber white cause blockage or
damage to the screen.
3. Check sieve, rice knife, roller core parts before starting, check whether the
bolts and nuts are tight.
4. Turn round rotating drum before start rice processing process, check
whether there is block.
5. Every day after rice processing work, keep a complete check about rice
milling machine and facilities, find problem handled in time, ensuring rice
milling machine in good condition.
Maintain your RICE MILLING MACHINE regularly and keep it in good state.
Make if work long time for you. Any problem about rice milling machine
maintenance, please feel free to consult us. Our staffs will try best to help you.
The decided place in each part is oiled before the rice transplanter is
used. The key key might ring if it doesn't oil it because it uses it only once a
year. Do not oil parts that can be done with the rubber product.
After washing off dirt with the brush etc. , the rice transplanter that
finished being used wet-cleans deliberately.
It lightly wipes it with the cloth to do oil so that the metallic portion
should not rust and to see.
Because the belt is an articles of consumption, it exchanges it once
every several years.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
All routine maintenance should be properly documented and easily accessible
to all people responsible for maintaining equipment. Such documentation
should include equipment hours/age, length of service intervals, frequently
used part numbers with associated cost, and dates with type of service
performed.
OFF-SEASON MAINTENANCE
Off-season preventative maintenance is usually more involved. This is when
equipment should be partially or completely disassembled for inspection and
more detailed cleaning. At the Noble Research Institute, we use this time to
thoroughly inspect our equipment to ensure efficient and reliable performance.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Daily preventative maintenance can be as simple as cleaning, lubricating and
inspecting equipment like abnormal wear patterns around moving parts,
proper belt/chain tensions, safety guard placement and function, leaking fluid,
and proper lubrication.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is less stressful than reactive maintenance, which
results in a more efficient operation while contributing to profitability. When
performing any preventative maintenance or equipment repair, always refer to
the model-specific owner's manual and/or technical manual.
If farm wastes, including deadstock, are managed inappropriately, they can cause
contamination of the premises, livestock, inputs and food. The accumulation of farm
waste can also provide habitats and food for pests.
