Introduction:
The Crushed Rice separator is a machine that can separate the binlid na bigas in order to have a
quality rice which most people wanted. By Rotation transmitted by the motor to a crankshaft on which the
separator with a roller was connected. The rice were pushed and pulled by a high speed and the screen on
the separator will remove crushed rice and even small crushed stones the way people want it.

Objective:
To design a machine that would separate the quality rice to rejected binlid rice and small crushed
stones the way people wants it.
