RICE SEED VESSEL FOR HOT-WATER DISINFECTION OF RICE SEED

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice-seed vessel for hot-water disinfection of rice seeds that has excellent working efficiency since disinfected rice seeds can rapidly and exactly be taken out only by opening the bottom of the vessel to cause seed ejection from the opened part and due to smooth flowability on the bottom upper surface in the state that the vessel is lifted at a rice-seed taking out position after the hot water disinfection. SOLUTION: This rice seed vessel 1 is constituted of perforated plates at the side walls 2, 3 and the bottom face 4. The bottom face 4 is constituted with a freely openable lid 6 that can be opened downward with inclination until an angle exceeding the repose angle of the rice seed. The freely openable lid 6 is openably connected through hinges 7 to the bottom ends of the right and left peripheral faces 3. At a right and left intermediate part in the vessel, a dashboard 5 is set to separate the inside of the vessel into two parts. The dashboard 5 is also perforated to form water-permeating faces.
