What Does A Rice Mill Do?

A complete rice mill is an automated device used for rice processing, including cleaning equipment, hulling equipment, rice milling equipment, screening equipment, and rice grinding equipment. The following is a brief description of the working principle and process of a complete rice milling system:

1. Cleaning Equipment: This equipment cleans the grains, removing impurities, stones, dust, and other impurities. It typically includes components such as a cleaning screen and a vacuum blower.

2. Hulling Equipment: Hulling equipment removes the outer hulls of grains. Common types include hullers and hullers. They separate the outer hulls from the inner rice kernels through friction or pressure.

3. Rice Milling Equipment: Rice milling equipment grinds grains into rice. Common types include rice mills and grinding wheel rice mills. Rice milling equipment uses friction or impact to grind the grains and separate the rice bran.

4. Screening Equipment: Screening equipment separates the ground rice from the rice bran. Common screening equipment includes air screens and vibrating screens. They separate the rice from the bran through vibration or airflow.

5. Rice Polishing Equipment: Rice Polishing equipment is used to refine rice and improve its quality. Common rice polishing equipment includes water polisher. These devices use friction or grinding to create finer rice grains.

The entire rice milling process is as follows: First, the grains pass through the cleaning equipment to remove impurities; then, they pass through the hulling equipment to remove the husks; next, they pass through the rice milling equipment to grind the grains into rice; the rice passes through the screening equipment to separate the pure rice and bran; finally, the rice passes through the rice milling equipment for fine processing to improve its quality.

It should be noted that the specific equipment and workflow may vary depending on the equipment model and manufacturer; the above is just a brief introduction to general requirements.

FOTMA, one of China’s leading grain machinery manufacturers, strictly controls every step of the process, from R&D and design, raw material selection, production and welding, to sales.
