Mill Maintenance – Grain Milling Solutions

Repairing, technical services and maintenance of the rice mills are essential as they can affect the lifetime of the milling machines and makes them work accurately for a long time. If good and regular maintenance are carried out, machines can’t be able to work for a long time.

As per the recommendation of Rice Mill Consultant, Maintenance of Rice Mill Plant Design at a decided time will monitor the active machines and pieces of equipment designed by Rice Mill Engineers & Designers to detect the possible breakdowns. Therefore, it avoids downtimes for equipment and machines because of unexpected maintenance plus loss of production and needless replacement of parts.

As an outcome, downtime and maintenance stemming from breakdowns decrease more than 25% to 30%. It facilitates eradicates slight flaws before leasing them to develop into more grave troubles.

Important and crucial maintenance of the mills can be easily attained with the help of three variant methods such as Predictive Maintenance, Unscheduled Maintenance, Preventive maintenance. Mill consultants and inspectors can arrange and choose maintenance systems as per specific requirements and local situations by making use of these methods.

Predictive Maintenance

This method is a new approach towards new technological developments in the rice mills. The concept of predictive maintenance is first introduced by R. kubilay Kose i 1988 in turkey at national machine design and manufacturing congress of a middle east technical university. He selected to use the term “kestirimci Bakim” for a method of predictive maintenance.

This technique of mill maintenance allows monitoring of equipment and machines to detect possible breakdowns. As an outcome, an unscheduled shutdown of equipment and machines, unnecessary part replacement and loss of production are reduced.

Advantages of Predictive Maintenance

Breakdown decrease by 35-34%.
Expected productive and a lifetime of equipment augmented.
Machines that are in working and good conditions are not stopped unnecessarily which ultimately saves time.
Enables corrective maintenance for critical components.
Production loss decreases considerably. Production levels go up by 20-25%.
Prevent minor flaws to become a source of bigger problems in time.
It is 8-12% more profitable than preventive maintenance.
More saving of energy.
Maintenance cost decreases significantly.
Maintenance time and downtime for machine breakdowns decrease 25-30%. Work-load and labour costs decrease.

Unscheduled Maintenance

It is also known as “emergency maintenance, repair maintenance and breakdown maintenance. Repair and maintenance are carried out when the pieces of equipment and machines don’t work properly or stopped working. As an outcome, loss of production at the time of repair is much high. Defects occur in machines and pieces of equipment also affect the other machines and pieces of equipment. While performing unscheduled maintenance, the equipment and mills are revisited to base or original situation and efficiency by reinstating materials and parts only after the collapse.

Because of its disadvantages, repair maintenance is not performing by any mill until needed the most. Otherwise, scheduled maintenance techniques are essentially performed.

Scheduled maintenance

The goal of preventive and planned maintenance is to decrease the need for emergency maintenance. It is carried out by following given methods:

Predictive maintenance

The method of predictive maintenance is carried out of three main steps such as measurement, analysis and repair.

Periodical maintenance

The goal of this technique is to prevent components of machines or equipment from failure and to improve their strength before any collapse.

The period of maintenance for equipment and machines at mills can be classified as:

Daily
Weekly
Long term.

The period of maintenance for equipment and machines are already planned as per the specification provided by the companies that install them.

Different Milling Techniques– Modern and Traditional Mills.

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.

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.

Andhra Rice Miller Lobby Blamed For Creating Artificial Scarcity

Readers of the blog of the best rice mill consultant in India, Nextech Solutions would know that we are turning this blog into a one-stop for all national and International news pertaining to the grain & seed industry. Take for example, the emergence of India as the leader or in the global rice bran oil conference wild rice harvest permit brief torn into shreds at Chippewa. Today, we are covering another story. Alleged hoarding by Andhra lobby is responsible for rising rice prices.

Ladies and gentlemen, allegations suggest that a lobby of Andhra rice mill owners is creating an artificial scarcity by hoarding rice stocks, in order to create deliberate price rise and generate demand in the Keralan market. Before getting into details, let us inform you right at the start of the realities of the Andhra rice market. A majority of small-scale rice mills have shut down, resulting in the bigger players monopolizing the market, and controlling the market.

Prices have already gone up by Rs. 5/ KG in the wholesale market due to the stop in supply by Andhra rice mills. It is now starting to reflect in retail.
The drama started unfolding the last week. Kerala used to take twelve rakes, i.e. thirty thousand tonnes of rice from Andhra Pradesh until recently. But it dropped to only four rakes, i.e. ten thousand tonnes the last month. Angry rice millers refused to supply a single rake of the rice to the state.
In their week defense, the association office mill owners tried to justify the low supply by claiming that it is a result of low production.

Your Rice Mill Plant manufacturer India will keep you updated on all the happenings in the grain & seed industry.
