PURPOSE:To produce easily cookable unpolished rice having uniform quality, by heating unpolished raice under fluidized state with hot air flow, stopping the heating when a specific quantity of thermal energy is absorbed in the rice, and cooling the rice. CONSTITUTION:The present apparatus is composed of the fluidizing heating apparatus 3 for the heating of unpolished rice, the cooling apparatus 11 for cooling the heated unpolished rice, and the transporting apparatus 6 connecting the outlet port of the apparatus 3 and the inlet port of the apparatus 11 and transporting the heated unpolished rice rapidly to the apparatus 11. The apparatus 3 is furnished with the temperature detectors 15, 16 to measure the temperature of the inlet port of the hot air and the exhaust port of exhaust air, and with the flow meter 14 to measure the air flow at the inlet port of the hot air. The data transmitted from the temperature detectors 15, 16 and the flow meter 14 are sent to the computer 12 to calculate the quantity of the thermal energy absorbed in the unpolished rice. When the calculated quantity reaches a preset level, the discharge valve 13 of the apparatus 3 is opened, and the heated unpolished rice is cooled in the apparatus 11. |
