The present study presents the method of classifying the shell and the rice parts of fresh lotus after shelling by using two classifiers: (1) The vibrating trough classifier and (2) the classifier using two rollers that rotate in opposite directions. To evaluate the feasibility of the classification principle, experimental models (1) the trough classifier and (2) the two-roller classifier was fabricated and tested. The results show that: (1) The trough classifier can classify at about 85%, corresponding to the inclined angle of the trough of 15° and the rotation speed of the vibrating part n = 2972 rpm; (2) The two-roller classifier achieves 100% as long as the rice parts and seeds of lotus do not fall off the two rollers. These two classifiers are connected in series so that the rice and the seed parts of the fresh lotus can be effectively classified. The general classifying capacity is more than 15 kg/h.
