Examples for Outputs from the Different RICE MILLING Stages
1.Clean paddy after pre-cleaning
Paddy grain after precleaning. Poor quality grain is evident from its darker color. These are immature kernels or half filled grains that are not removed in the precleaner. The presence of poor quality grain lowers the total milling recovery.
2.Brown rice at the rubber roller husker
Mixture of paddy grain and brown rice coming out of the rubber roll husker. With uniform size paddy, about 90% of the paddy should be husked after the first pass. This mixture goes through a paddy separator, after which the paddy is returned to the husker,and the brown rice goes to a de-stoner.
3.Milled rice after polisher
Milled rice after the 2nd stage friction polisher. Small broken grains are still evident. This product goes to a sifter to remove the small broken grains.
Note: Most mills have several polishing stages for gentle milling. In those mills there is undermilled rice after the 1st stage friction whitener. Not all the bran layers are fully stripped. In times of rice shortage, production of undermilled rice is promoted because of the higher milling recovery.
4.Brewers rice from the sifter
Brewer’s rice or small broken grains removed by the screen sifter.
Rice Milling project is a large and complex process. There are many detail section need we notice. Detail information, please visit our website, and there have many information about rice milling machines. If you are interested in it, you may might to visit it.
