[Rice Milling Knowledge] Must-know for Rice Processing: Key Factors Affecting Rice Quality

【Grain Storage】

Do you know that the storage of paddy directly affects the quality of rice? The moisture content of newly harvested paddy is usually above 20%, and it must be dried to about 14% before storage. Otherwise, it is prone to mildew and deterioration, affecting taste and safety.

Professional rice mills are all equipped with drying and storage equipment, which is the first step to ensure the quality of rice.

【Temperature Control】

Temperature control during the rice milling process is very important. If the processing temperature is too high, it will cause cracks in the rice and increase the broken rice rate. Modern rice milling equipment all adopts a temperature control system to keep the processing temperature within a reasonable range.

Just like cooking rice requires a moderate fire, rice milling also needs an appropriate temperature.

【Rice Milling Parameters】

Different varieties of paddy require different rice milling parameters.

Long-grain rice: requires a lighter milling pressure to avoid broken grains.

Round-grain rice: can appropriately increase the milling pressure.

Glutinous rice: due to its soft texture, special attention should be paid to controlling the milling time. Professional rice milling equipment can adjust the parameters according to different varieties.

This is why the quality of rice processed from the same paddy may vary.

【Understanding the Rice Yield Rate】

The rice yield rate is an important indicator to measure the efficiency of rice milling:

Ordinary level: 60% - 65%

Good level: 65% - 70%

Excellent level: above 70%

【Enterprise Strength】

The equipment of Sunfield Machinery, through the optimization of the rice milling process, has a stable rice yield rate of about 70%, creating more benefits for users.

The broken rice rate is a key indicator to test the quality of rice milling equipment.

The factors affecting broken rice are: whether the equipment is properly debugged, the material and condition of the rice milling roller, the control of the feeding speed, and the quality of the paddy itself. Good equipment can control the broken rice rate below 3%, which requires excellent craftsmanship and strict quality control.

【Purchase Suggestions】

When purchasing rice milling equipment, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:

Equipment material: related to service life

Process design: affects processing quality

Convenient operation: reduces labor intensity

After-sales service: ensures normal production

Manufacturer's strength: determines product reliability
