reciprocating knife, which cuts the rice stalks close to the ground.
2. Reel: A reel, usually positioned in front of the cutting mechanism, guides the rice stalks towards the cutting area, ensuring a smooth and consistent feed into the machine.
3. Threshing System: After the rice stalks are cut, the threshing system separates the grain from the rest of the plant. It typically involves beating or rubbing the harvested rice stalks to detach the grains.
4. Cleaning Mechanism: Once the grains are separated, the cleaning mechanism removes impurities such as straw, husks, and chaff from the harvested rice. This ensures a cleaner final product.
5. Grain Collection System: The harvested rice grains are collected and stored in a hopper or grain tank located on the harvester. Some mini combine rice harvesters may also have an option for bagging the harvested grain directly.
6. Power Source: Mini combine rice harvesters can be powered by various means, such as gasoline engines, diesel engines, or
electric motors. The power source drives the cutting, threshing, and cleaning mechanisms.
