Rice has remained the staple food to more than half the humanity since time immemorial despite waves of food revolutions. Covered by two different layers, namely- bran (the inner layer) and husk (outer layer), Rice paddy becomes rice only when the two layers are removed properly through hulling and milling of paddy and hence processing of rice can be termed as the hulling and milling ratio. Production wise India has risen to become the second largest producer of rice in the world (21 percent of global rice production), next only to China. The growth of population exerts more pressure- pushing for higher productivity of crops while a larger quantity of food grain continues to be lost due to inefficient milling processes in the country. Therefore, it calls for a better processing technique of rice to prevent processing loss. Generally, rice kernels are often susceptible to breakage due to inefficient milling processes. Therefore, more efficient milling processes are becoming imperative with Government encouragement and policies so that with better recovery ratio and quality rice kernel production hunger in India is ameliorated after 2030.

The efficiency of grain milling processes denotes three factors-technologies, degree of competition and capacity of utilization each of which Nextechagrisolutions- the leading Rice Mill Consultant in the domestic Food and Grain Industry elevates substantially. Nextechagrisolutions Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,- India’s leading Rice Mill Project & Rice Mill Plant Manufacturer India  & of Rice Mill Machinery Consultants facilitate the transformation from a traditional Rice Mills to a modern one by transferring the expertise and experience of erecting the 360o ecosystem. Nextech Grain Processing & Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. possesses the necessary wherewithal for automating and upgrading of existing Rice Mills to state of the art, automated mill through innovation and automation for customized needs. The quality in terms the rice output’s quality, whiteness, milling degree, grain dimensions is enhanced and enables the manufacturers to fulfill the exacting customer demands on quantity as well as quality parameters to capture market share and ensure greater returns.

Difference Between Traditional & Modern Milling

Generally, rice kernels are often susceptible to breakage and hence hulling and milling ratio is low due to inefficient milling processes. Therefore, modern efficient milling processes that raise productivity are often automated while ensuring a modern product ready for the supermarkets. This not only ensures better recovery ratio & quality rice kernel production but also better returns. The quality of finished rice/polished rice is also dependent on the quality of raw paddy used for conversion, the new technological improvements introduced in rice milling, but the growing demand is making never before demands on rice production. One of Nextech’s specialties is to impart 360o consultancy for the Modernization Of Rice Mills.

Rice Milling Technology– Then & Now

Traditionally, maintaining high quality and output of rice was easy with limited technology, government policies, little investment, miss-management etc. This led to the rejection of many shipped consignments due to poorer than international quality standard. Rice Mill plants were not efficient in terms of energy conservation, maintenance, productivity, and Quality management systems were not employed. The units even lacked testing labs for routine check-ups. Now(automatic and semi-automatic) manufactured and supplied by Japan & Germany are extensively employed  and new technologies were introduced including the use of rubber roller technology for husking; Two-stage whitening process; Use of Paddy separators; Old stone disk hullers, vertical cone polishers replaced by emery-coated cylinders etc., Emphasis is now on Skilled operators, use of NUE (Nitrogen Use Efficient) technology and Turbo & extractive milling to speed  up the process while saving energy. Nextech Solutions introduces ever more innovations to produce high-quality products for greater returns.
