Laboratory Equipment
Improving Product Quality
FC2R-Y
Testing Husker
Features an impeller that removes husks even when the moisture content is high, enabling quality evaluation when the rice is received. Also equipped with a husk-aspirator which checks whether brown rice is contained in the husk and this can be used to change the settings of the huller to reduce waste.
USDA-certified
VP-32T
Testing Whitener
Our compact vertical friction type whitener allows all the rice in the milling chamber to be ejected, allowing for accurate and repeatable measurement of the milling recovery rate. This machine is used by the Japan Grain Inspection Association as standard equipment. Also, it is widely used in other public institutions in Japan.
SF-31
Grading Sifter
It uses a woven screen to separate head rice, broken grains, and bran balls by size.
Note that this machine was designed specifically for short and medium grains — it is not suitable for processing long grains.
YM-8E
Digital Grain Moisture Meter
No adjustments are required even if the variety of grains to be measured or ambient temperature changes.
Ideal for rice, brown rice, milled rice, barley, naked barley, and wheat.
- Milling Recovery Rate Optimization

To optimize your milling recovery rate, you first need to be able to measure it accurately. You can then make appropriate adjustments to your grain dryer, rice milling machine, and workflow based on this data.
However, making accurate measurements is challenging and time-consuming. Furthermore, even once you have correct data, it’s not always clear what adjustments should be made.
Our Solution
Yamamoto’s laboratory equipment eliminates these barriers, making it easy and accurate to measure the recovery rate.
We can also maximize the recovery rate by changing the settings of Yamamoto’s grain dryers and adjusting the rice milling machines according to the type of rice.
Our company has accumulated over a century of experience in rice production techniques and technology. Using this, we can support you by introducing equipment, calibrating it, and helping you to optimize all aspects of your production process.

Why Choose Yamamoto Laboratory Equipment?
Accurate Measurement
Each machine has its unique structure for accurate measurement of milling recovery rate and rice quality. Because of its accuracy, the FC2R-Y Testing Husker has been certified as testing equipment by the USDA, and the VP-32T Testing Whitener is widely used by the Japan Grain Inspection Association (Kokken) and other official organizations in Japan.
Easy and Quick Measurement
Yamamoto’s laboratory equipment has a compact design with a built-in motor that makes measurement easy and quick. In addition, measurement can be completed quickly because a small amount can be measured accurately.
Easy to Maintain
Maintenance after use is straightforward because the husk and rice bran discharged during measurement can be collected cleanly.
