Mini Rice Mill 

Product and its applications


Rice is the kernel part of paddy and is obtained by the removal of the paddy husk and a thin layer of bran. Rice milling is the process of removal of these and then polishing them. The whole process has to be accomplished with care to avoid the breakage of rice and improve recovery. The rice again is available in the husk, market in two varieties- Raw and parboiled. The raw rice is obtained by simply milling the raw paddy, while parboiled variety is the one in which the paddy is first partly boiled and dried before milling. Parboiled rice is preferred in some parts of the country such as Assam, West Bengal, Orissa, some parts of Bihar etc. The process of milling for both is the same except for the boiling part of the paddy. The milling process provides whole rice as the main product and Husk, Bran and Broken rice as Bye products. The husk is sold in the market as a fuel, Bran for extraction of Oil and broken rice is consumed as a cheaper variety of rice.


Industry Profile and Market Assessment


Rice is a staple food in most parts of the country, particularly in the South, East and North Eastern States. It is also consumed on regular basis in Kashmir and not so regularly in the Northern states of Punjab, Haryana and some parts of Uttar Pradesh. The demand for any food product is always there particularly if it is a regular diet item like Rice or wheat. It is essential for survival. It is consumed by all the members of the population may be either in the fine costly variety by rich or the coarse cheap variety by the poor. The demand for rice will always be there so long the humanity survives.


Manufacturing Process & Know-How


The process of rice milling for retrieval of the rice kernel is an age-old one. Even today in villages' rice is de-husked from paddy manually by women using wooden bars and wooden vessels. The paddy is constantly subjected to slow soft hammering for removing the husk sheath and then the fine bran layer is removed. The modern rice mill converts this manual process into a mechanized one using mechanical devices.

The process comprises cleaning of the paddy to remove stones, dust, chaff etc. The cleaned lot is fed into the de-husker machine where with the help of rubber rollers husk is separated. The Brown rice so obtained is then taken to huller where polishing is done by mild friction created within the polishing chamber. The resulting polished rice and bran are separated and collected. The recovery of edible rice is around 80%. Bye products constitute about 15%whereas balance of 5% is waste and process loss.

Know-how is available with Central Food Technology Research Institute Mysore. The machinery is all indigenously available.

The production capacity envisaged is 600 tonnes of Rice per year.

  Papaya Farming Introduction   Papaya is a large, herbaceous crop known as papaw or pawpaw. This crop is a dual purpose, early bearing and space-conserving variety. It is a native of Northern South America and Mexico, but of late it has become a natural growing plant in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The papaya crop cultivation is a rewarding venture even when undertaken on a small piece of land. The demand for this fruit is increasing because the farmers and consumers realize the importance and benefits of the fruit. More than 60 countries produce papaya, but the majority is being produced by the developing countries. The phytosanitary restriction on the Mexican papayas has resulted in a high price of the papayas and due to this many cultivators in the other parts of different countries are planning to get back to papaya farming. In India research was done for over 30 years and finally there were 100 strains and 16 local varieties of papaya.   Papaya Far...
