In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.

A rice mill pilot plant was designed and developed in the basis of the simulation results on the mill plants. The performance of the developed rice mill plant was evaluated, and the simulation model on the mill system was validated with the experimental data in the mill plant. The results of this study were as followings : 1. A rice mill pilot plant with the capacity of 0.5 t/h was designed and developed. 2. The hulled ratio of the mill plant was 87.3%, and the milled rice recovery and the head rice recovery of the cleaned rice were 74% and 87% , respectively. The degree of milling of the cleaned rice was 10.6% with a high polish. The intensity of the cleaned rice appeared high compared with that of the milled rice in the analysis of whiteness test using an image processing system. 3. The bottleneck, processing time, and production amount of the developed mill system almost coincided with those of the simulation of the rice mill plant. The developed simulation model of the rice mill plant was proven to be applicable to the design of a rice mill plant through experiments.

The Nongkwang variety was sown directly in the field by the three methods of dibbling, drill seeding and broad-casting in non-, low- and high-salty areas, and compared with the growth of transplanted rice in each areas. The yield of rough rice was increased remarkably by direct sowing when compared with that produced by transplanting inboth salty areas, but in non-salty area, the former was decreased significantly. There was no significant difference in the yields of rough rice resulting from three seedling methods of direct sowing in each area. The direct sowing method was predominated in number of panicle, weight of panicle, ratio of matured grains, milling recovery percentage, and straw weight in both salty areas, and dicreased in panicle weight and ratio of matured grain in nonsalty area.

An increasing attention is paid to STEP-NC, the next generation CNC controller interfacing STEP-compatible data. In this paper, we first propose an Architecture for the STEP-NC (called FBCC: Feature Baled CNC Controller) accepting feature code compatible with STEP-data, and executing NC motion feature by feature while monitoring the execution status. The main thrust of the paper has been to develop an automatic on-line tool path generation and modification scheme for milling operation. The tool path it generated iota each feature by decomposing into a finite number of primitive features. The key function in the new scheme is haw to accommodate unexpected execution results. In our scheme, the too1 path plinker is designed to have a tracing capability iota the tool path execution so that a new path can be generated from the point where the operation is stopped. An illustrative example is included to show the capability of the developed algorithm.

A one-pass rice whitener with hard metal blades was developed to solve the problems of the existing one-pass rice whitener. The developed one-pass rice whitener was tested and improved through various milling experiments. It showed high performance such as the capacity of 3.5 t/h, the energy consumption of $1.0 kWh/100kg$, milled rice recovery of 91.6%, broken rice rate of 2.2%, the crack rate of 1.9% at the 750 rpm of the roller shaft, compared with those other domestic and foreign one-pass rice whiteners. Especially, it could whiten broun rice of high moisture (16～l7%) with water sprayed at low internal pressure of less than $0.2 kg/cm^2$ and low temperature due to the characteristics of the cutting part composed of 24 hard metal blades. The developed one-pass rice whitener was industrilized and distributed to some rice processing complexs in one fourth price compared with that of imported one-pass rice whiteners.

주요 미질특성에 대한 품종 및 환경변이정도를 파악하고자 자포니카 5개 품종과 통일형 두 품종을 1989년에 중부평야지인 수원 및 이천과 중서해안간 척지인 남양, 호남평야지인 이리 및 남서해안간척지인 계화에서는 보통기 보비재배로, 영남평야지인 밀양에서는 맥후작 만식으로 재배하여 생산된 쌀의 외관 및 도정특성과 주요 이화학적 특성 및 식미를 비교분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 쌀 외관 및 도정특성을 비롯하여 쌀의 이화학적 특성, 밥의 물리성 및 식미총평 등 모든 미질특성에서 현저한 품종간 차이를 나타내었고, 산지간변이가 두드러졌던 미질특성은 쌀 외관, 도정특성, 알칼리붕괴도, 단백질함량, K/Mg율, 호화개시온도, 강하점도(breakdown) 및 치반점도(setback)였는데 이들 특성의 산지변이는 전변이의 14~54%에 달하였으며 품종$\times$산지간 교호작용변이가 특히 켰던 미질특성은 식미총평과 응집(consistency) 및 치반점도였다. 2. 벼 품종간 미질특성의 차이는 특히 자포니카와 통일형 품종군간에 현저하였는데 통일형 품종들이 자포니카품종들에 비해 쌀 외관품질 및 도정률이 떨어지고 1.0% 저농도 KOH 용액의 쌀 붕괴도와 아밀로스함량이 약간 낮은 반면 단백질함량과 K/Mg율은 약간 높은 편이었으며 최고점도, 강하점도 및 응집점도가 다소 높은 반면 치반점도는 유의하게 낮았고 식미가 크게 떨어졌다. 식미가 양호했던 자포니카품종들은 단백질함량이 약간 낮으면서 K/Mg을 및 밥의 점성/경도비율이 약간 높은 경향이었다. 3. 현미천립중은 이리산미가 타 지역산미에 비해 두드러지게 무거웠고 수원, 계화 및 밀양산미가 소립인 경향이었으며 정현비율이나 등숙면에서는 밀양산이 가장 떨어졌고 이리나 이천산이 양호하였다. 건전미율은 남양간척지산미가 가장 높았으며 계화간척지산미가 가장 낮았다. 4. 쌀의 아밀로스함량은 계화간척지산미가 타 지역산미에 비해 약 1%가량 낮았고 단백질 함량은 중부지역산미가 남부지역산미에 비해 유의하게 약 1%가량 낮았으며 K/Mg율은 계화 및 이리산미가 가장 낮았던 반면 밀양산미가 가장 높았다. 식미총평은 품종별로 생산지에 따라 상당히 달랐는데 평균적으로 남양산미가 가장 좋았고 다음으로 수원>이리>이천>계화>밀양 순이었다 5. 쌀의 알칼리 붕괴도는 밀양 맥후작산미가 가장 높았고 호남평야지산미가 가장 낮았는데 비해 아밀로그래프의 호화개시온도는 수원과 이리산미가 가장 낮았던 반면 밀양산미가 가장 높았다. 강하점도는 밀양산미가 가장 낮았고 다음이 이천산미가 낮았던데 비해 계화 및 이리산미가 가장 높았으며 치반점도는 이와 정반대의 경향을 나타내었다. 밥의 점성 /경도비율은 지역간 차이가 유의하지는 않았으나 남부평야산미가 중부평야산미에 비해 다소 떨어지는 경향이었다. 6. 식미와 관련이 있는 쌀 외관품질 및 이화학적 특성을 이용한 주성분 분석에서 전정보의 약 59% 설명이 가능한 제 1 및 제 2 주성분치상의 7개 품종별 6개 산지미의 분포로 보아 품종에 따라서 산지 반응이 달랐는데 대체로 자포니카와 통일형 품종군간 구분과 밀양, 중부평야 및 호남평야의 세 산지간 구분이 가능하였다. 산지내 품종간 미질변이는 남양간척지와 이리산미가 비교적 작았는데 수원산미는 이천과 남양산미의 미질변이를, 계화산미는 이리산미의 미질변이를 거의 포괄하였다.
