4TH YEAR
 INTRODUCTION

 Today rice is one of the most important &

major food grain of the world.

 Nearly 1/2 to 2/3 of total world population

has totally adopted rice as their main food.

 Rice milling technique improve the

nutritional, cooking & Eating quality of rice.

Basic flow chart of rice milling process
 CLEANING
 Removing of foreign matter
from paddy,sach as stone,
pebbles, dirt, dust & husk.

 Equipment-vibrating paddy
cleaner.

 Specification-

* No. of screen-8.for
(2-paddy,2-stones,2-hask,2-
dust).

* Screen openings-
(0.20mm,0.8mm,0.6mm)
* Aspirator-husk.
* Moter-2hp.
 Parboiling of paddy
 Paddy is soaked & wet paddy is heated
then dried.

 To achieve maximum recovery of head

rice & to minimize breakage during
milling.

 Equipment-vertical 12 tanks.

 It is carried out three steps-

soaking-hot water at 800C for 6 hr.

Steaming-7.5 kg/ cm2 for 20 min.

 DRYING

 LSU(Lousiana State University )

drying is mechanical hot air dryer.

 During the first pass paddy should be

dried to mc. of 16-17% & them
tempered for 3-4hr.

 Steam-7.5 kg/cm2.for 3-4hr.

 Dried paddy at 13% mc.

 DESTONNER
 Separating paddy from stones
& pebbles before milling or
dehusking.

 Equipment-destoner

 Specification-
* vartical vibratry screen.
* aspirator-suck the husk.
* driven motor-2hp.
 SHELLING
 Separating husk from the paddy
grain.
 Paddy grain is passed between two
resilient surface moving at different
speed in the opposite direction.
 Equipment-rubber-roll Sheller.

 Specification-

*dia.of roller -220 to 260mm.

* speed ratio-1:0.75 to 1:0.80.
* thickness of roller -15 to 30.
* hardness of coating- 90 to 95
shore.
 PADDY SEPARATOR
 Separating paddy from brown rice.

 Equipment-tray separator

 Specification-
* No. of tray-10 to 15.

* Position of tray-mounted one

above the other 5cm a part.

* Front positions is inclined.

* speed-300rpm.

* driven motor-2hp.
 WHITENER
 Removal of bran layers from brown
rice.

 Equipment- vertical whitening cone.

 Specification-
* cast iron cylinder with abrasive stone
coating.
* A wire screen is fixed around the
cone.
* Distance between coating & screen-
4.5 to 6mm.
* Bran aspirator- remove the bran
layer.
* driven motor-5 hp.
 GRADER

 The grader is use for obtain

higher quality rice, which
contains less broken.

 It is cylindrical in shape &

intendent on the inner side.

 Driven motor-2hp.
WEIGHING,PACKAGING,TRANPORT
ING
 The rice obtained from grater
is filled in the jute bags &
weigh on the weighing
machine.

* Bags-25kg,50kg.

 After that transportation by

trucks, tractors to the buyer.
