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.

The Advanced Paddy Drying System

Paddy Drying is the basic process of yielding rice. During the paddy arrival season, the moisture percentage in freshly harvested paddy is 18% and above, the paddy should be dried to bring down the moisture percentage of 14% which is ideal for storage purpose. After the process of parboiling and steaming the moisture increases to 35% which is actually wet paddy. So to reduce the moisture from it various steps are involved such as field drying, sun drying, heated air drying, in-store drying.

Processing And Milling Of Parboiled Rice

Popularly known as the easy to cook rice, Parboiled rice actually connotes partially boiled rice that is the grain is simmered in the husk. Parboiled rice, thus apparently is a precooked form of rice, but on closer analysis is found to be erroneous.

Popularly known as the easy to cook rice, Parboiled rice actually connotes partially boiled rice that is the grain is simmered in the husk. Parboiled rice, thus apparently is a precooked form of rice, but on closer analysis is found to be erroneous. The final output appears like normal grain and is cooked and served like the original white or brown rice. Quite surprisingly, even with its unrefined appearance, parboiled is gaining popularity as apart from it facilitating digestion and restoring bowel function, it contains better health benefits in terms of fiber, calcium, potassium and vitamin B-6 due to its special processing.

Parboiled rice also contains a high content of antioxidants, phytonutrients including anthocyanins that reduce inflammation and even prevents cancer. Even a cup supplies 2- 3 percent of daily intake of calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese. While manganese reduces risks of blood pressure and heart attacks, zinc enhances the immune system. Parboiled rice is laden with nutrients like niacin, riboflavin and vitamin B6, necessary for metabolizing food into energy.

Nextech Solutions, India’s leading Rice Mill Consultants who have acted as Rice Mill Engineers & Designers in innumerable projects in India and across the world, can act as consultants or Rice Mill Project Consultant for this product anywhere in the world.

Parboiling Process

The three basic steps for parboiling comprise soaking, steaming and drying. As a collateral advantage, these enable rice to be more easily processed by hand, enhance its nutritional profile and alter texture. The triple process also imparts it the name of ‘soaking rice’.

The process begins with the drenching of the grain where the rice is transferred into the soaking tank at temperature at 20-30-degree C. The grain is then left for 36-48 hours as required. After drenching, the rice is shifted to the steaming process where the grain is heated in order to make it harder. The procedure too varies in time-consuming as the manufacturer needs.

The decision is made according to the grain color to be ultimately attained. Generally, the rule is that higher the heating temperature, the lesser the processing time. Yet, it must be considered that steaming at high temperature increases the chances of grain getting darker in color.

Ultimately, the grains need to be dried. Again the process of withering the grain in huge quantity is not quite facile, especially in case the rice is parboiled. So, instead of a labor-intensive country like India, rice the grains can be left for sun-drying/baking by employing greater numbers of workers. Their main task is to actively turn and mix the rice in a timely manner. Around 20-40% of moisture needs to be evaporated/ reduced initially while the remaining can be reduced at later stages of drying.

How to Improve The Output of Rice Milling Machine?

Rice milling is the process that helps in removal of hulls and bran’s from paddy grains to produce polished rice. Rice feeds thousands of millions of people and milling is the process wherein the rice grain is transformed into an edible form- fit for human consumption.

The amount of recovery during milling is dependent on diverse factors like variety of paddy, the degree of milling required, the quality of equipment used, et al Commercial milling systems perform milling of the paddy in stages, and hence are called multi-stage or multi-pass rice mills. The commercial Rice Milling Strives to reduce mechanical stresses and heat buildup in the grain in order to minimize grain breakage and produce uniformly polished grain.

Nextech Grain Processing & Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd., formerly Nextech Solutions, is at a leading Rice Mill Project Consultants in India and Abroad and at forefront of consultancy for Rice Mill Machinery, Rice Mill Plant Layouts for Rice Mill Plant Manufacturer India.

Enhancing Output Of Rice Mills

The main Rice Milling Processes comprise cleaning, husking, separating, whitening, polishing, grading, color sorting, packing & weighing. In order to get high output, we need to follow carefully the stringent procedures like:

A) Milling should be at the right moisture content,

B) Pre-cleaning paddy before husking,

C) Employing paddy separator,

D) Utilizing two-stage whitening, grading the milled rice process,

E) Monitoring maintenance and replacing spare parts regularly. Why should we mill the rice at right moisture content?

The paddy moisture content of 14% is ideal for milling. If the moisture content is too higher low, grain breakage will occur. This leads to low head rice rate.

Nextech offers optimized Rice Mill Machine Design, Basmati Rice Mill Plant Layout, incorporating all the features mentioned here.

F) Parts like screen, emery roller, rubber roller, plastic bucket, polisher roller, and screw impeller wear out very easily.

G) Operate your Rice Milling Machine with the assigned method, and more output will follow. The rice milling facility & equipment conforms to specific configurations, with the milling components varying in design and performance.

In modern automated rice mills, many adjustments (e.g. rubber roll clearance, separator bed inclination, feed rates) are automated and whitener-polishers provided with gauges.

Adjustment to optimum measurements of the pressure in whiteners and polishers is crucial in raising the output of milling. If the pressure is too low, only energy is converted into heat but no bran is removed and vice versa.

H) The whitening process applies pressure to the grain, which generates heat and causes cracking and breakage of some kernels.
