    RICE MILLING

    EQUIPMENT
    Milling
     process of converting paddy into rice. It is to be carried out with
    outmost care to prevent breakage of the kernel and improve the
    recovery of the paddy.

    Rice Milling - machine used to


    remove the hull and bran of the palay
    to produce milled rice and consists
    mainly of hulling and whitening
    assembly
    Milling Process
    • Cleaning -removing foreign materials such as rice straws, stones, seeds, etc.
    from the paddy.
    • Dehusking and Husk Separation - removing the husk from the paddy with
    minimum damage to the grain, and separating the husk from paddy.
    • Paddy Separation -separating dehusked paddy from the remaining grains. Most
    dehusker remove about 90% of the husk.
    • Bran Removal - removing all or part of the bran layer from the grain to produce
    polished rice.
    • Grading -separating or grading broken grains from unbroken rice. Broken grains
    are separated into different sizes.
    • Sifting – separating of brewer’s grains, impurities, etc. from milled rice.
    • Bagging Bins – collecting milled rice.
    Operation, Equipment and By-
    Product During Milling
    General Types of Rice Mill
     Single-Capacity or Single machine – This is usually

    ranged from 45 to 270 kg/hr.
    General Types of Rice Mill

     Large-Capacity, Multi machine – This is usually

    which rotates inside a perforated steel housing.
    Frictional-Type Whitener - consists of a fluted roller rotating inside a

    Whitener - component of a rice mill that removes the bran layer in the
    brown rice

    Head rice - grain or fraction of grain with its length equal to or greater than
    eight-tenth (8/10) of the average length of the whole grain.
