Rice Mill

WhatsApp Order

A Rice Mill is an agricultural processing machine designed to remove husk and bran layers from paddy rice to produce polished white rice suitable for consumption. It performs a sequence of operations including dehusking, separating, whitening, grading, and in some cases, packaging. Rice mills are vital in post-harvest processing for both small-scale farmers and large commercial grain operations, ensuring high-quality output, better yield, and improved rice market value.

Description

Rice Mill

Uses

  1. Dehusking
    o Removes the outer husk from harvested paddy rice.
    o Prepares the rice for further processing steps such as polishing and grading.
  2. Whitening and Polishing
    o Removes the bran layer to produce clean, white rice.
    o Enhances the appearance and shelf-life of the final product.
  3. Separation and Sorting
    o Separates whole grains from broken ones for grading and quality control.
    o Removes impurities such as stones, dust, and straw.
  4. Grading
    o Classifies rice by size and quality to meet market and export standards.
  5. Yield Optimization
    o Reduces grain loss during processing for higher recovery rates.
  6. Commercial Processing
    o Supports large-scale rice production facilities in meeting high-volume demand.
  7. Value Addition
    o Adds value to raw paddy by turning it into polished rice ready for retail.
  8. Rural and Industrial Application
    o Used by both smallholder farmers and industrial milling operations.

     

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

  1. Wear Protective Gear
    o Use dust masks to prevent inhalation of rice husk particles.
    o Wear hearing protection in noisy environments.
    o Use safety goggles and gloves when performing maintenance.
  2. Pre-Operation Inspection
    o Check belts, pulleys, and moving parts for signs of wear or damage.
    o Ensure all guards and safety covers are in place and secure.
  3. Safe Operating Practices
    o Avoid overloading the machine to prevent clogs or overheating.
    o Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from moving parts.
    o Operate on a level surface with proper ventilation.
  4. Work Area Safety
    o Clear the area of spilled grain and obstacles to avoid slips or trips.
    o Set up signage to keep unauthorized personnel at a safe distance.
  5. Electrical Safety
    o Inspect power cables and switches for faults before use.
    o Ensure grounding is in place and avoid using in damp conditions.
  6. Routine Maintenance
    o Clean and lubricate components after use to extend machine life.
    o Replace worn parts promptly to avoid breakdowns.
  7. Training and Supervision
    o Only trained personnel should operate the rice mill.
    o Ensure familiarity with emergency stop procedures and machine manuals.
