Process of Setting Up a Rice Mill

The Rice milling removes husk and bran from paddy grains so that these can be made edible usually produces polished rice. After adding aroma and flavor it is ready to be marketed. As rice is one of man’s consumed staple foods and helps sustain two-thirds of the world’s population, without this process millions will go hungry. The demand for rice including that of polished variety is burgeoning as figures illustrate. However, the sales in India are mainly determined by government agencies and Government that sets the Minimum Support Price and even procures majority of the paddy (20-25%) While setting up Rice Mill Plant for Rice Processing are immensely lucrative with ever greater returns, a license from the Government -albeit with fairly stringent terms and conditions must necessarily be procured and the license comes.

So, employing a Rice Mill Consultant who is very conversant with norms and are Rice Mill Engineers & Designers, is necessary. They can act as facilitators as they know the nitty gritty in India and can negotiate the complex terms and conditions set for obtaining a license in India proves to be a riddle. Rice Mill Project Consultant can make it easy to resolve- especially if they possess 360-o expertise with expertise as Storage Silo Project Consultant. Nextech Grain Processing & Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a 360-degree rice mill consultant over 10 years’ experience – and being promoted by two professionals with a definite edge over competitors in terms of detailed engineering and process control knowhow.

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.

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. 

Grain Milling Solutions

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 

  1. Breakdown decrease by 35-34%. 
  2. Expected productive and a lifetime of equipment augmented. 
  3. Machines that are in working and good conditions are not stopped unnecessarily which ultimately saves time. 
  4. Enables corrective maintenance for critical components. 
  5. Production loss decreases considerably. Production levels go up by 20-25%. 
  6. Prevent minor flaws to become a source of bigger problems in time. 
  7. It is 8-12% more profitable than preventive maintenance. 
  8. More saving of energy. 
  9. Maintenance cost decreases significantly. 
  10. 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: 
  1. Daily
  2. Weekly
  3. 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. 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.

Systematic Layout Planning for Paddy Milling Plant

Paddy Milling Plants nowadays are largely automated and need optimization at the design stage to maximize the returns. For this entirely automated process a micromanaged and Systematic Layout Planning is a prerequisite that begins with the refining of the paddy and ranges.

Paddy Milling Plants nowadays are largely automated and need optimization at the design stage to maximize the returns. For this entirely automated process, a micromanaged and systematic Layout Planning is a prerequisite that begins with the refining of the paddy and ranges through sorting and ends with packaging and even has to act as Storage Silo Consultant.
Moreover, the addition of Flavor, taste, and textures are imperative in order to enhance the desirability factor that ensures a sustained market for the products. Facilities design comprises the layout design and the handling systems design after considering all equipment, machinery and support structure within the operational perimeter. This is necessary if the rice mill is to be optimized and all processes reflect the principle of minimizing inputs and maximizing outputs.
Being India’s leading edge Rice Mill Engineers & Designers, Nextech Solutions extends 360-degree consultancy for Rice Mill Layout Design & Rice Mill Machinery for Rice Mill Plant Manufacturers in India.
Rice Mill Plant Designs are usually classified as fixed position layout, process-oriented layout, group or cellular layout, product-oriented layout. The type of layout ultimately is decided upon usually on the quality of rice to be manufactured that encompasses the volume and variety of the products to be produced. The Rice Mill layout designing is extremely challenging, especially for the process-oriented layout.
Three alternative layouts are brought out using Systematic layout planning, which is a systematic way of generating layout alternatives. The proposed alternative layout involves choices in moving the machines closer or farther based on interrelationships. The detailed plant layout and processes are executed using tools such as the operation process chart, activity relationship chart & flow process chart. Often the choice depends on the creation of optimal e.g, the “under-runner” disk mill is very popular in the Indian subcontinent. Similarly, Rice Mills with fewer moving parts are subject to less wear and produces an acceptable quality of rice.
Investors and owners are usually from the farming background and prefer to employ Rice mill consultants for constructing Paddy Milling Plant, since they can hand over part of their usual tasks to concentrate on processing, a task that requires an operation and administration skills.

As the leaders in Paddy Milling Plants including Paddy drying Solutions, Nextech Solutions has 360-degree expertise in these fields. Seamless integration of latest technologies, Rice Mill Machinery and automation of processes are undertaken to provide optimal solutions.

The critical aspect of planning the plant layout is micromanaged at the stage as every process is crucial. Ultra-efficient solutions are evolved to the smallest micro level like the placement of machines and medium of bulk storage while taking the size and objectives into consideration. Each step has to pass stringent quality checks to ensure each equipment & process runs error free to get the greatest returns from investments.
