Title: Rice Milling
Issue Date: 18-Jan-2016
Publisher: National Small Industries Corporation
Abstract: India is the second largest producer of rice with annual production of more than 90 million tonnes. About 25% is processed through modern rice mills. The major portion of the paddy is milled through hullers. The hullers are usually low capacity mills. The yield of rice in huller mills is about 5% less than that obtained in modern mills in case of raw paddy and 2% less in case of parboiled paddy. In the hullers, both shelling and polishing operations are carried out simultaneously. Hence, there is no control on the polishing of rice, bran, admixed with husk is obtained with a higher breakage of rice grain. To overcome these, a mini rice mill is available to meet the needs of the villages and a substitute for a huller mill, to get polished rice, rice bran and paddy husk.
