New Technology To Set Up A Rice Mill In 2021

Rice is a staple diet in India which is the second largest producer of rice after China. Rice is the backbone of agrarian India as it generates the significant number of employees. Modernization drives the world as this post will highlight the new technological improvements introduced in rice milling. It will also connect the dots between modernization and rice milling, one of Nextech’s specialties.

‘If one wants to set up a rice mill, he/she has to take into account the current trends and technologies’. But for dreams to become reality, fuel is a driving factor. Our expert’s point, 10 years before today that fuel was missing in the industry.

Rice Milling Technology 2021 – Then & Now

Then

Maintaining the high quality and output of rice was not an easy task. The main reasons behind this were limited technology, government policies, little investment, mismanagement etc. Many shipped consignments were rejected due to the non-fulfillment of an international quality standard.

Some faults in yesterday’s rice milling technology:

1. The machines were non-commercial as the output quality was low.
2. There wasn’t enough investment to buy modern Rice Mill Machinery (automatic and semi-automatic) manufactured and supplied by Japan & Germany.
3. The machines were traditional and locally produced from non-standard fabricated items. They produced inconsistent qualities of rice.
4. Rice plants were not efficient in terms of energy conservation, maintenance, productivity thereby leading to high production costs.
5. Mild steel usage in rice mill machineries and corrosion of mild steel affected the rice quality.
6. Quality management systems were not employed. There were no testing labs for routine check-ups.

Many other issues like ‘improper marketing techniques, business development, government policies and infrastructure’ crowded the industry.  A large scope for improvement was present as there was a big vacuum that the industry had to fill.

Now

The government started urging that ‘Rice mills must modernize to meet global quality standards’. Nextech also started operations around that same time, in 2006. Modern techniques and investments flew in this sector, as believed by our experts. With huge investment followed by huge demand, the government had to create policies favoring modern mills.

With that, ‘modern rice milling machines’ as they were called started showing their magic. The private sector backings had a huge effect on the industry. Some new technologies introduced in today’s milling machines are:

• Use of Rubber roller technology for husking
• Two-stage whitening process
• Use of Paddy  separators
• Old stone disk hullers, vertical cone polishers have been replaced by emery-coated cylinders, friction-type whitener polisher, and dry & wet mist polishers.
• Milled rice is now graded
• Automated plants from Germany & Japan are the new market trends.
• Skilled operators, good paddy quality, maintenance of machines set the tone for high-quality outputs.
• The use of NUE (Nitrogen Use Efficient) technology has been encouraged. This increases & doubles plant growth and yield.
• Turbo & extractive milling speed up the process.

The biggest feature of the new machines was their ability to save energy. With state governments’ hand, cost structure, investor’s expertise, development favored rice mills. Nextech wishes for more innovations to come as it encourages us to produce high-quality products for our valued customers.
