The Pearlest is specially designed to quickly and accurately peel off the husk of grains for the purpose of measuring and inspecting the extent of product defects and/or damage to crops. Bran removal is required to reliably measure rice density. It is also necessary to check for damaged, rotten, and off-spec product as well as to determine if glutinous and non-glutinous rice have been intermixed.
The instrument was constructed to polish rice, wheat, and barley for these purposes. A 10 gram sample of brown rice can be processed in 30 seconds and barley in only one minute. The power source of the Pearlest is 100-220VAC.
A sample spoon, brush, spatula and file are included to provide a complete sampling and cleaning system.
The system is very compact (95mmWx130Dx160H) to allow use in every environment.
