What Is a Rice Polisher?
A Rice Polisher is a machine used for milling brown rice to produce white rice. It removes bran and germ, allowing for varying degrees of milling to preserve nutrients or produce pre-washed rice.
Applications of Rice Polishers
Rice Polishers are used in:
- Household and coin-operated models for personal use.
- Commercial models in rice stores for retail purposes.
- Large-scale milling plants for mass production of white rice.
Principles of Rice Polishing
After threshing and husking, brown rice undergoes polishing to remove the bran layer and germ. The process involves grinding or friction methods to achieve the desired level of milling.
Types of Rice Polishers
1. Stirring and Convection Type
Uses propeller-like blades to create friction between rice grains.
2. Pressure Type
Applies pressure to create friction, suitable for softer polishing with less rice breakage.
3. Pressure Circulation Type
An improved version of the pressure type circulates rice multiple times for gentler polishing and less breakage.
