Is paddy cleaner the predominant noise sources in the rice mills?

0 投票

The predominant noise sources in the rice mills were paddy cleaner, rubber roll sheller, compartment separator, rice cleaner, sieve shaker and an electric motor without enclosure. The causes of high noise in the rice mills may be due to the use of a long flat belt drive, crank-and-pitman mechanism, absence of an electric motor enclosure, poor machine maintenance and inadequate acoustic design of the workroom in the rice mill. In general, a well-maintained rice mill with each machine being run individually using an electric motor produced less noise than that being run using a single electric motor along with flat belt drives.

The subjective response to noise in rice mills was assessed by conducting personal interview with all the workers of the rice mills using a structured form. Demographic information, nature of work, working hours, rest period, experience of working in mill, degree of noise annoyance, activity interference, and psychological and physiological effects of machine noise on the worker were asked during the interview. The noise survey in eight select rice mills of the major paddy-growing regions of India revealed that the workrooms of five rice mills had SPL more than 85 dBA in the locations where workers were engaged for most of the time.

The three performance parameters were used to optimize the husking performance of the two huskers for the three varieties of rice. rubber roller husker had high husking energy efficiency compared to impeller husker for randomly husked short grain rice and for all the three varieties of rice husked as single grain. Optimal husked ratio in terms of husking energy efficiency was also found to be optimal in terms of system cracked ratio and system broken ratio for all the three varieties of rice.
