which, when. wetted with water, will form mistIened bran too viscous to remove. Moreover, the hum~difivaticfl

can cause cracking of the rgrains themselves. Ptarent het

crack, and breed: the sain undier the itfluv'nCo:' of' moisture and friction, although the advorse effect depends to sonie measure on, the kind of rice and the quantity of moisture used. In view of this, the milling with moisture in accordance with the invention is limited to cleaning of the grain surface, and the polishing in

Lthe glazing drum is moderate enough to prevent crac>,ing 00o or breaking of the rice. it fil only by the combination riof the humidifying-debranning milling action in the pearl-

Sing chamber with the pearling action in the rotary drum

that the unusual. effect of the ii vention is attained in

fn-xx ly polishing rice safely without the danqer of cracking.

Thus, the present invention is characterized by the use

of hiumiidifying-de-braniiq nrilling means as pretreating

moans in combination with rice-polishing means in the

form ol a qlazing drumt in a wel1-coordinated arrangement.

Accoi.diri, to the pxesent invention, a method

ot _ieana nf and p01hishinqj rice withi humri(i ication which

Comprises cleaning material white ricv in a tr'ic'tion

pearlingy chamber with humiditied aii: oL steam b'Lown into

the Lice milled to a yield of 94' or loss, and then

polishingj the rice inside a qlazinq urum by aliowinqI

tHie grains continuously to tumble and avalanche while

proceedingj forward wit hin said drvin.

Also,acco~idinq to the invention, an apparatus

coi~iprisinq a rice pearling machine including a friction

pearling chamber formed by a perforated-wall debranning cylinder

and a friction pearling roll supported by shafting within

said cylinder, a rice hopper inlet and outlet both of which

are communicated with said friction pearling chamber, and

ARA meanzs for blowing humidified air or steam int" o the rice in said friction pearling chamber; and a glazing drum associated1 with said pearling machine and installed adjacent said outlet of said machine.
