Final narrative
Rice was not coming down to the bran remover from the auger/conveyor above. An employee removed the round plate from the square round pipe and stuck his arm inside, feeling for the cause of the choke. His hand contacted the rotating screw auger/conveyor above. He suffered an amputation of his right hand up to and including the mid-point of his ulna and the radius of his right forearm. He was hospitalized for surgery.
