Factory Acceptance Checks for a Combined Rice Milling Machine
A buyer's guide to pass or fail checks for a combined rice milling machine rated above 1,000 kg/h and drawing 23.87–28.12 kW, with practical questions for the FAT.
For a combined rice milling machine rated above 1,000 kg/h, decide before the factory acceptance test which outputs must pass and which may only be recorded. A practical split: treat throughput, power draw, and safety interlocks as pass or fail; treat milled rice appearance and bran removal as recorded observations unless your own specification sets limits.
Ask the supplier to state the test rice variety, moisture, and feed rate, since results depend on them. For throughput, agree how output is weighed and over what run duration. For power, confirm whether 23.87–28.12 kW is measured at the drive or the supply, and under what load. For safety, require a demonstration that guards and interlocks stop the machine as intended. For quality, agree simple checks such as broken-grain proportion and residual bran, with sampling method and acceptance limits written into the quotation.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which checks they will run at the factory, what instruments and records they provide, whether your representative may witness the test, and how any failed check is corrected and retested.
