くなる。The rice bran, garbage, etc. adhering to the rice are discharged together with the rice washing water during the rice washing in the rice washing tank 3, and are discharged to the outside even if they are circulated in the closed path. However, even if it circulates, it gradually comes into contact with the rice washing water, is taken in, and is discharged together with the rice washing water. Therefore, the external environment is never contaminated with bran or the like. In addition, since an air flow is generated in the receiving member 6 in the axial direction, the rice does not stay in the receiving member 6 and smooth rice transport is possible. Further, when the cutout of the drum 26 faces upward and the rice enters and when the rice drops and the rice falls, the receiving member 6 and the rice storage tank 4 are separated by the drum 26, so that the air circulation is not restricted. There is almost no fresh air in the closed-path air circulation path for transporting rice, except for the part that enters with the rice, and the inflow of dust and moisture is extremely small.

4 detects that the reserved amount of rice in the rice storage tank 10 has reached the lower limit, activates the suction means 9 to make the pressure in the rice storage tank 10 negative, and from the receiving member 6 through the suction pipe 7. The rice is sucked and transported into the rice storage tank 10. The air discharged from the suction means 9 is sent to the receiving member 6 via the suction pipe 8 and circulated to the suction pipe 7 again accompanied by rice. The upper end of the suction pipe 7 is directed to the watershed 35A at the boundary between the two hoppers 35, so that the supplied rice is leveled.

The rice is supplied to the two rice washing tanks 3 by individually operating the two scales 5 at the lower part of the rice storage tank 10. An electric shutter that opens and closes the receiving member 6 is provided in the lower opening of the rice storage tank 4 so that the lower opening of the rice storage tank 4 is closed when the suction means 9 is not operated. You may. Further, it is preferable that a sealing material is provided between the rice frame 4 and the upper frame of the rice storage tank 4 so that the upper opening for replenishing rice can be sealed when the rice is stored in the frame 2.
