About the Agrinex Thickness Grader
The Agrinex Thickness Grader is a precision sizing machine that grades milled rice by diameter — separating smaller-diameter grains from larger ones to produce uniform, consistent grain grades that meet the precise specifications demanded by premium markets and export buyers.
The machine uses a cylindrical rotary motion to pass rice through a cylindrical SS wire drum, with lower-diameter grains falling through the wire mesh while larger grains continue to the forward discharge outlet. Self-cleaning cylindrical rotary brushes continuously sweep the wire surface during operation, preventing mesh clogging and maintaining consistent throughput without interruption. Customisable sieves or slot sizes allow the Thickness Grader to be configured for different rice varieties and specific grading requirements. Three models — GTGA, GTGB, and GTGC — cover throughputs from 2 TPH to 8 TPH, making this machine suitable for small, medium, and large commercial milling operations.
Key Features
- Diameter-wise grain separation using cylindrical rotary motion.
- SS (stainless steel) wire cylinder drum for durability and food-grade hygiene.
- Self-cleaning cylindrical rotary brushes — continuous operation without clogging.
- Customisable sieves or slot sizes for different rice varieties and grading specifications.
- 300 MM diameter sieves across all three models.
- Three models: GTGA (2–3 TPH), GTGB (4–5 TPH), GTGC (6–8 TPH).
- Essential for meeting premium market and export-grade rice specifications.
- Robust construction for long-term reliable performance.

Who Uses This Machine
Positioned in the grading section of the milling line after whitening/polishing — often used alongside the Rice Shifter to provide both thickness and length/diameter grading for full grain classification.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: A thickness grader separates rice by cross-sectional diameter, while a length grader separates rice by grain length. Both are used together in complete grading lines to achieve full grain classification.
A: Yes — the Agrinex Thickness Grader features customisable sieves or slot sizes to accommodate different rice varieties and specific market grading requirements.
