8 Things You Should Understand About Rice Mill Plant
It is a well known fact that rice is the staple food of most of the countries of the world. It is the most cultivated agricultural product in terms of direct human consumption for body nutrition. Therefore, it is widely cultivated throughout the world. But, it cannot be eaten in the state in which it is harvested, which are hard brown seed-like structures. It should be prepared for human consumption in a rice milling plant.
But, that’s not all. There are many other small details that need constant scrutiny. Let’s try to get a perspective on what these rice milling plant consultants are researching:
1. INPUT QUALITY:
The first and major issue for a rice mill operator is the understanding of the seed of rice. A rice kernel is made out of 20% husk, 11% bran and 69% of the main endosperm seed ideally. But, these percentages vary drastically for different grains. Consultants help you procure the optimum quality of rice and the best way to sort the grains out.
2. MOISTURE CONTENT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT:
An ideal grain has a moisture content of 14% and a seed moisture content of 12%. Anything above or below that will cause output quality issues. Rice mill plant consultants in India initially help to avoid these situations or put in place a proper system to achieve the required performance.
3. PLANT SETTING ISSUE:
The Rice Milling Plant cannot be located far away from the rice farmers. The consultants help in finalizing the most suitable location which can help in the easy acquisition of the right type of ticket easily and cheaply.
4. SYSTEMS TO REMOVE HUSK OR BRAN:
Rice milling plant consultants help in setting up one-step or two-step systems at the site, depending on the input quality and output required.
5. MULTISTAGE MILLING:
The general milling process includes eight processes of pre-cleaning, husk, rice separation, bleaching or polishing, grading, blending, gauze polishing and weighing for packing. These may sound simple but have their own details and problems. Rice mill plant consultants help to design the most suitable rice mill plant layout design.
6. MACHINERY INVOLVED:
There are many types of rice mill machinery available for the processes described above. The consultants help in choosing the optimum based on the required inputs and outputs.
7. SKILLED OPERATOR:
An ideal operator keeps the machine working well and for its full use. Consultants help you find the best fit.
8. BY-PRODUCTS HANDLING:
The rice mill plants produce husk, bran and brewer’s rice as by-products. Consultants help to make maximum profits from these by-products as well.
Nextech Solutions have worked as Rice mill consultants in Nigeria, Bangladesh, Thailand, Pakistan, also apart from several projects in India. Their project with M/S Wacot rice limited became an inspiration for other Rice Mill Engineers & Designers in Nigeria.
