Abstract: A rice bran extruder apparatus maintains a continuous flow of bran with appropriate heating to stabilize the bran to prevent information of free fat acid and rancid oil. A supply hopper includes a rotating paddle to stir the bulk bran for continuous gravity feed of the bran into a feed conveyor mounted immediately beneath the hopper. The feed conveyor is aligned with the bran extruder to supply bran to the inlet opening. The extruder includes a flighted rotor and terminates in a conical discharge nozzle. Extrusion of the bran results in heating of the bran to stabilize the lipase, destroy bacteria and produce a stable bran providing oil and an edible end product. The flighted rotor has closely spaced flighting and at least 12 agitator elements secured between the flights for at least the last four flights to establish a continuous movement of the powdery rice bran through the extruder and positively prevents blow back of the bran.
