Precision sieving for effective separation of whole grains from brokens and impurities, enabling accurate grading.
About the Agrinex Rice Shifter
The Agrinex Rice Shifter is a precision grading machine that performs diameter-wise segregation of milled rice — separating head rice from broken rice fractions and classifying broken rice into distinct size categories. This separation is essential for producing the consistent, uniform grain grades that premium markets, food processors, and export buyers demand.
Equipped with 5 precision sieves and 5 separate discharge outlets — each calibrated for a different grain diameter — the Rice Shifter simultaneously produces small broken, medium broken, big broken, and head rice grades in a single pass. The machine uses rotary motion to drive the grain across the sieve surfaces, ensuring thorough, gentle separation without additional grain damage. Built from high-quality materials engineered for durability and resistance to wear, the Agrinex Rice Shifter delivers consistent, reliable grading performance across extended production runs. Two models cover capacities from 3 TPH to 6 TPH.
