Rice Production Line

A blender is an essential device in rice production as it is responsible for the homogenous mixing of raw materials and additives so that it complies with quality standards. They assist in the uniform distribution of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and preservatives which improves the nutrient value, texture, and shelf life of the final product. Different types of horizontal, vertical, batch, and continuous mixers are used depending on the scale of production and ingredients used.

Also referred to as auger conveyors, screw conveyors are mechanical devices that transport bulk materials in an efficient manner, especially in rice production lines. It has a helical structure, which enables it to perform combined movements, including rotary and inclined movements. This makes it practical for tasks including material moving, metered supply, blending, lifting, and even dust remediation. These devices are quite strong and are able to withstand mechanical stress and control the rice products' moisture content. In addition, screw conveyors can be tailored in terms of size and volume so that they meet the operating needs of different production lines with low maintenance costs.

A double-screw extruder works by employing a pair of co-rotating screws to work on a raw material. Some of its important operations are- cooking and gelatinization to improve digestibility, texturization to get different textures, mixing to achieve uniformity of nutrients, and shaping to get different product forms. The extruder enhances shelf stability, which helps to lower microbes and is also economical in green energy-making production. It is also modular,which makes it easy to adapt, thus enhancing innovations and efficiency in the rice processing industry.

A Vibrate Cooler, or vibratory fluidized bed cooler, is used in rice processing for the cooling of rice masses through vibrating and/or air blast. It is primarily used to prevent the spoilage of food, maintain the air circulation around the mass to achieve uniform cooling, and reduce foreign mixture and consumption of energy. Its usage in other processing machines goes hand in hand since it helps improve the quality of rice in terms of its taste, aroma and nutrition. Made of stainless steel for strength and cleanliness, Vibrate Coolers are built for different capacities incorporating the principles of efficient cooling without harming the rice.

In rice production, a Counter Flow Cooler employs counterflow heat exchange whereby warm rice comes into contact with cooler air resulting in enhanced cooling. This cooling process is useful in maintaining the nutrition quality, controlling moisture, and inhibiting rotting. These coolers are designed in such a manner that they are energy efficient and can be easily incorporated into different production scales; in addition, they are very automated for ideal performance.

Hoister provides safety features and automated control, reduces man-hours, and improves productivity. The use of hoisters facilitates the vertical transportation of grains and reduces contamination, which enhances the smoothness of the operations. The rice-growing business is likely to adopt advanced gantry hoisters, including IoT hoisters, as global rice production and consumption grows, which will facilitate faster and more efficient operations.
