The process of converting paddy into Rice by using modern technologies is called modernization of the Rice Milling Industry. This process helps easily remove the husks, dust, extracting the kernel of Rice, and produce edible Rice by using high-tech machines. You can be able to get more Rice with the involvement of the Modern Rice Milling process. Many industries are likely to change their old plant to the latest technology. Various operations are being followed all over in milling for the production of the end product named Rice. 

The Processes Involved In Modern Rice Milling:

There are eight processes involved in Modern Rice Milling, and every process is carried out in order. Each process depends on others and waits until the completion of the previous process. But it is a rare scene because of several tons of paddy involved. Modern rice milling delivers polished Rice with great quality to the customers and retailers. Modern rice milling machines are a great cost to plants. But it is worth its cost and gives a huge profit to rice merchants.

  • Pre-cleaning
  • Dehusking or Dehulling
  • Separation of Paddy
  • Polishing or Whitening
  • White Rice Separation
  • Mixing of Rice
  • Polishing of Mist
  • Packing and weighing of Rice

Working Of Modern Rice Milling Industry:

Pre-cleaning is an initial process, and it increases the chance of Dehulling. This process prepares paddy for the easy removal of husks. The de-husking process completely removes husks bypassing paddy with different speeds in abrasive surfaces. Brown rice is converted to Paddy Rice by the paddy separation process. Three or four whitening machines are connected to polishing the Rice by removing gems and brans. 

Large and small Rice are being collected from separating white Rice after polishing. The rice mixing process involves volumetric mixers for mixing Rice in the right proportion depending on the country.  In mist polishing, the final mist of water is applied to Rice before packing. After this, the Rice Milling Industry uses weighing mechanisms to pack Rice and ready to sell. These steps are being followed for packing all varieties of paddy crops. Specialized operators are being involved in the rice machine operation.

Responsibilities Of Rice Mill Consultants:

The rice mill merchants assist consultants for higher production with great quality. They use consultants to attract customers for the right choice of selling good products. Instant development in Rice’s production in the day-to-day process influences consultants to make great dealing with a client. Rice Mill Consultants also look after each unit in the process of milling. They take care of the efficiency of work and provide guidelines for industries. They involve choosing the quality rice machines to operate without giving problems at production time. Thus the consultants of this field help the merchants to have a good deal of business profitably.

Different Types of Rice Milling Processes & Methods

The process of removing the husk and bran layers, and producing white rice kernel that is free of impurities is referred to as rice milling. Usually, the three methods of purifying the rice are a one-step process where husk and bran removal are done together, a two-step process where husk and bran are removed separately, and a multistage process in which rice undergoes a series of different rice milling processes & methods.

 

The two categories in which the rice milling is divided are Village Rice Mills and Commercial Mills. Rice mills which are used for milling paddy of farmers for home consumption are called as village rice mills whereas when the rice is sufficiently milled and all the husks and stones are removed to appeal to the customers, it is known as commercial rice milling. Another objective of commercial mills is to minimize grain breakage.

 

Multistage Rice milling Process

The paddy is boiled partially, in order to increase its nutritional value, and this process is called parboiling. It reduces breakage and even changes the texture of cooked rice.

 

Pre-cleaning method: In order to attain high milling recoveries, pre-cleaning of the rice is necessary. If not done properly, the fines in the rice can create dust and can reduce the airflow through the rice grain. De-stoning is done to remove undesired stones present in the rice using a gravity separator or a de-stoner. The process includes passing the rough rice through a series of sieves and a closed-circuit aspiration system.

De-Husking: The process of removing the husk from rice grains is referred to as de-husking. The process includes directing paddy into a pair of rubber rolls, rotating in opposite directions and at different speeds. A shear force is generated on the surface of the hull because of horizontal inward pressure that is applied on rubber rolls. Removing the husk from the brown rice or unhusked paddy is known as husk aspiration.

Paddy Separation: The surface of a rice grain is smooth, whereas the surface of paddy is rough. Paddy Separator uses this difference in texture to spate brown rice from paddy.

Whitening & Polishing: A humidified rice polisher is used to polish the surface of the rice. The factors which determine the extent of whiteness are the radial velocity of the stone wheels, the grid size of the stones, and the external pressure on the outlet chamber of the whitening machine. 

Weighing and bagging machines are then used to pack and weigh the rice accurately to be sold in the market.

 

Conclusion

With so many different rice milling processes & methods, it can be confusing if you don’t have prior knowledge of it. It’s always better to look for Rice Mill Consultants for advice so as to get better results even in the initial stage of the mill. Having more than 10 years of experience, Nextech Grain Processing & Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. can provide a solution to all your queries related to the food grain industry.

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.
