MAIN PROCESSES OF A WHOLE RICE MILLING PLANT

 

Proto Rice Mill stage

At this stage, the rice field needs to be prepared for planting. Steps like Paddy transplanting and Rice harvesting including reaping, stacking, handling, threshing, cleaning, and hauling are critical and are all performed by Rice Combine Harvesters.

 

Rice processing steps

After arriving at the mill, it goes through a series of sorting machines to separate the kernels from any debris. The rough rice is made to pass through “Sheller” machines. Brown rice is left behind, that is then worked by machines revealing white or “polished” rice.  

 

Post Production Processes

1. Fully automatic rice mill plant ensure pre-cleaning, de-husking, paddy separating, milling, grading et al. Nextech has expertise of Rice Mill Machine Design, Rice Milling Plant Layout Design to set up the optimized rice plant.

2. The Pre-cleaning process through Paddy cleaner extracts all impurities like dust, straw, sand, clay and heavy particles from the paddy. Rice dehusking:  Removes the husk and bran from the paddy rice leaving a minimum broken grain.

3. Paddy separating separates the dehusked paddy & brown rice.  White rice produced by machines that remove the bran layers through rubbing revealing “white”/”polished” rice.

4. Rice grading separate immature grains to ensure independent milling of graded lots Weighing and packing is now undertaken for transport to the customer.

5. Environment-friendly steps- millers have switched to clean fuel like crop stalk and straw, rice husk, etc.  As the leading Rice Mill Engineers & Designers & Rice Mill Consultant, Nextech Solutions– provide support at every stage.

There are diverse rice processing hardware’s and Rice Mills and processes which are utilized for the correct preparing of rice and guarantee its most extreme handling limit in less measure of time.

The most critical production calculates are considered for its preparation is the utilization of vitality. Vitality is one of the important things and the crucial source to gauge the cost of the settled completed item. For the generation of rice, the vitality devouring types of gear utilized incorporate blowers, lifts, engines, boilers and steam conveyance and some more. The proficiency of the item (rice) relies on upon the utilities kept up by the rice creation factories, for example, power, air, water, work, and so forth.

A hefty portion of the rice plants in India and furthermore in the distinctive parts of the world hold fast to a few techniques for rice handling, for example, drying of rice, cleaning of rice, processing, brightening, cleaning, reviewing, mixing, sorting and bundling.There are distinctive sorts of sorters and separators utilized for the rice to be free from a clean, parasitic diseases, plastic granules, undesirable grain, and so forth.

Some of them being used by the rice mill machinery include the following:

Rice Huskers: These huskers expel the husk (external covering) from the paddy rice amid the handling.
Paddy Separators: It makes the chestnut rice more proficient.
Plano-Shifters: This makes the rice more uniform and gives rice appropriate size and evaluating with a rapid.

There are diverse sorts of strategies utilized as a part of the Rice Mill Plant Machinery. In the prior days, customary techniques were utilized for paddy preparing utilizing the steel hullers and the rice handling process specified in the above flowchart was done physically. This strategy is by all accounts the wasteful technique as the odds or the benefits to ascend at the larger amount frequently debases. The advertising costs and the net returns tend to diminishing that keeps the customers from acquiring responsible yields in time. Advance, the most recent and present day Rice Processing units make utilization of more productive innovation that help them yield a vast net return and the computed costs turn out to be better for the extensive amount of paddy.

In the end, we can conclude by stating that the limit usage of utilizing the cutting edge strategies is roughly 70% in contrast with the ordinary techniques utilized (approx. 45%). Rice is the staple nourishment and is one of the main sources amongst all the sustenance grains for all the people.

Moving Towards Self Reliance: Nigeria Set To Shun Rice Imports

Just like a lot of other countries, Nigeria’s staple food item is rice. It’s one of the largest importers of rice in the African continent. Africa’s most populous country is also the largest consumer of rice. What’s troubling is the fact that it still relies on the imports to satiate its growing rice consumption needs.

Just like a lot of other countries, Nigeria’s staple food item is rice. It’s one of the largest importers of rice in the African continent. Africa’s most populous country is also the largest consumer of rice. What’s troubling is the fact that it still relies on the imports to satiate its growing rice consumption needs. Over the last few years, Nigeria imported as much as 17 million tons of rice and as stated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the rice importation exceeded by 2.3 million tons in 2016. Nigeria consumes about 6.5 tons of rice annually and less than half of it is produced locally. The paucity arising from the rice importations costs Nigeria over $2 billion annually.

As import duties on goods escalated, rice prices in the country increased drastically. After the rice shortages during the grain crisis, the President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari decided to channelize all his attention towards rice plantation and announced several plans to boost rice production by the end of 2017.

The dwindling scenario is changing slowly as small and commercial farmers are investmenting in rice production. The little success that this movement facilitated was visible in the Variety of Rice available in the marketplaces during country’s last festive season. Nigerians have started to demand locally produced rice owing to the fact that it is much more nutritious than the one that’s sourced, given that the country’s leading rice millers have started processing paddy as proficiently as their foreign counterparts. This increase in the awareness and demand has fueled the local rice production. Further, analysts claim that in the face of dwindling oil revenues, the federal and state governments; through Central Bank of Nigeria, drove certain campaigns to encourage local rice production, which was another important factor that led to a surge in the produce. To further escalate the production, the Nigerian government increased the allocated budget to $302 million, which increased the production by 500%, in comparison to 2016.

However, some analysts claim that the surge in Nigeria’s production is chiefly due to the massive investment by the agri-firm giant, Olam Nigeria Limited. Olam integrated a multi-billion dollar Rice Mill that had the capacity to produce 65,000 metric tons of rice annually and further increased the cultivated land to 10,000 hectares, which brings their total investment to $111 million. Combined with aircrafts to plant rice, apply fertilizers, 9 tractors and 11 combine harvesters, Olam is currently developing a 10,000 hectare, fully-mechanized paddy farm.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Nigeria has a huge potential to expand its rice production. Rice isn’t willed into existence, it needs to sown and cultivated systematically. The sector was neglected for a very long time. The government’s intervention has been remarkable but, still modest compared to the growing demand.

Auto Rice Milling Plant And Its Components

Auto rice milling is a term that signifies the whole action of rice processing from cultivating to yielding the final eatable product. A plant/industrial setup which is capable of pulling off this huge task is known as an Auto Rice Milling Plant. Such a plant comprises of four sections.

Auto rice milling is a term that signifies the whole action of rice processing from cultivating to yielding the final eatable product. A plant/industrial setup which is capable of pulling off this huge task is known as an Auto Rice Milling Plant. Such a plant comprises of four sections:

  • Parboiling Section

The parboiling section is responsible for the conditioning of rice crops by partially cooking and drying it beforehand. The parboiling of rice crops makes it hard enough to withstand the process of rice milling. Parboiling is also responsible for getting rid of the hull that comes along with the crop. Once the hull is taken care of, water is run through the rice to wash it away.

Parboiling can be-be practiced a number of times before processing the rice crop further. There are single-stage, double stage, and triple-stage parboiling systems available to ensure good conditioning of the crop.

  • Drying Section

The drying section of an Auto Rice Milling Plant is responsible for drying the parboiled rice crop and minimizing the moisture content in the rice. Drying of seeds is crucial since it ensures the durability of the rice and its good quality.

Moisture content in rice results in fungi and several pathogens infecting the crop. These insects and pathogens degrade the quality of the rice severely and make it unfit for consumption. Effect of drying of rice is so great that if moisture content is lowered than 14% even by 1%, the seed life gets doubled. Once a batch is properly dried, it is ready for further operations.

  • Milling Section

Rice Milling is one of the most important parts of Rice Processing. The basic objective of rice milling is to remove the unwanted part/ non-eatable part of the rice. The husk and the bran layers are removed in this stage of rice processing. Over the course of this process, all the impurities are removed to obtain an edible and white rice.

The usual composition of a typical rice crop on harvesting is 20% hull or husk, 11% bran layers and 69 % starchy endosperm. We do not need anything other than starchy endosperm to consume, rest is removed during the processing of rice.

  • Bagging Section

Once we get over with Rice Milling, we have pure consumable rice left with us. This rice needs to be packed in order to make it last longer and facilitate the transportation of rice from one place to another.

The rice bagging section is where all the packaging takes place with the help of bagging machines. The rice bagging must keep the rice safe from external factors like humidity, pressure, and temperature.

When a batch of rice is eventually processed through all of the mentioned sections, auto rice milling is accomplished.
