Modern Rice Milling Processes 

Milled Rice is being produced, in Rice Mills, after removing bran, husk and germ. Rice produced after modern rice milling process has different flavor, appearance ( whiten) and extended life.

Would not you want to know more about this modern rice milling?

What is Rice Milling?

Rice milling process is all about producing edible milled rice after separating the husk (20%), the bran layers (11% ) & clean rice (69%) aka starchy endosperm. In an ideal milling process this will result in 20% husk, 8−12% bran depending on the milling degree and 68−72% milled rice or white rice depending on the variety.

The Paddy Rice cleaning process also called rice Paddy Cleaning Machine process. It is first step in rice milling systems after rice paddy comes for milling process in rice mill from Rice farms. Paddy always comes up having a lot of external material including weed, soil, seeds, etc. And these external things need to be removed before taking it to the hulling processes, so that the efficiency of the huller, as well as milling, would not get affected.

If they are not removed properly then the efficiency of the rice mill machinery can be reduced. The capacity of the paddy pre-cleaner is actually, 1.5 times the milling capacity. It makes rice milling an ideal in this modern age.

Rice Cleaning Process

Removing the husk (dehusking or dehulling)

Brown rice is actually produced by removing the husk from rough paddy rice. The husk is actually removed using friction so that paddy grains can easily pass in between two abrasive surfaces that move following different speeds.

It makes easy to let husk removed following suction and transported to a storage dump outside the mill. It means you would not have to confront a lot of hassle anymore.

Paddy separation

Paddy separator is good at unhusked paddy rice from brown rice making easier to go ahead with the next procedure in modern rice milling systems.

Talking about the amount of paddy actually depends on different thing including the efficiency of the husker and it should not be more than 10%. Paddy separators work in a great way making the entire procedure easier and smooth.

Paddy Rice is fed to the paddy separator in rice mills. Paddy rice is separated from brown rice and the separated paddy rice will then be removed.It also called “rice residue”.

Whitening or Polishing

Do you know how whitening or polishing rich are made? Here, we are going to talk about the Rice Whitener process in modern rice mill.

Actually, white rice is produced removing the bran layer and then germ from the paddy. Now, you might be thinking that how does bran layer is removed. To put in simple words, the bran layer is removed from the kernel going with the different policies such as abrasive or friction polishers. The amount of bran removed is normally between 8 and 10% of the total paddy weight.

A gristmill (also: grist mill, Corn Mill, flour mill, feed mill or feed mill) grinds cereal flour and middlings. The term can refer to either the grinding mechanism or the building that holds it. Grist is a grain that has been separated from its chaff in preparation for grinding.

In your working with the Corn Mill Machine, have you think of or consider the Corn Mill Machine's Working Principle?
