Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to identify the rice
milling system process flow and its operation.
1. Produce edible rice that appeals to the customer- i.e. rice that is
sufficiently milled and free of husks, stones, and other non-grain
materials.
2. Maximize the total milled rice recovery out of paddy minimize grain
breakage.
Village-type rice mills can be found in rural communities and are used
for service milling paddy of farmers for home consumption. Their capacities
range from 45 to 500 kg of paddy/ hour. Single-machine mills are powered
by electric motors, diesel engines, or tractors.
Hand Milling
Hand pounding of paddy in a mortar with a pestle is the traditional
milling process in remote villages. Pounding the paddy induces upward and
downward forces on grain against grain that removes the husk and bran
layers. The pounding also breaks up fissured grain. The final cleaning is by
winnowing in a woven bamboo tray.
The winnowing process to separate unmilled paddy grain is an art.
STEEL HULLER
One of the most popular single pass rice mills is the steel huller which
is an adaptation of the "Engleberg" coffee huller from the United States
modified for milling rice.

Husk Separation
1. Husks are easily separated with aspiration.
2. The brokens, germs, and stone bran can be separated by a vibrating or
rotary sieve. A vibrating sieve oscillates while a rotary sieve, termed a
rotary sifter or plansifter, moves in circular motion. These are not used to
separate large brokens because their perforations are the same diameter
as unbroken rice.
Paddy Separation
A mixture of 85-90% brown rice and 10-15% paddy is fed into the paddy
separation stage. The paddy must be separated before the brown rice
goes to the bran removal stage.
Bran Removal
Two processes used to remove the bran layer from the grain:
1. Abrasion process - uses a rough surface, which is an abrasive stone,
to break and peel the bran off the grain.
2. Friction process – uses the friction between the grains themselves to
break and peel off the bran.
Whitening is the process of removing the outer and sometimes inner bran
layer.
Polishing refers to the process of removing small bran particles that stick to
the rice surface after whitening and gives the rice grain a shiny appearance.
Commercial milling systems mill the paddy in stages, and hence are
called multi-stage or multi-pass rice mills. The objective of commercial rice
milling is to reduce mechanical stresses and heat buildup in the grain,
thereby minimizing grain breakage and producing uniformly polished grain.
Compared to village-level systems, the commercial milling system is a more
sophisticated system configured to maximize the process of producing well-
milled, whole grains. The rice milling facility comes in various
configurations, and the milling components vary in design and performance.
“Configuration” refers to how the components are sequenced. The flow
diagram below shows a modern commercial mill catering to the higher end
market (Fig. 8). It has three basic stages, the husking stage, the whitening-
polishing stage, and the grading, blending, and packaging stage. Modern
rice milling processes consist of:
6. Whitening - removing all or part of the bran layer and germ from the
brown rice
7. Polishing - improving the appearance of milled rice by removing
remaining bran particles and by polishing the exterior of the milled
kernel
8. Sifting - separating small impurities or chips from the milled rice
9. Length grading - separating small and large brokens from the head
rice
10. Blending - mix head rice with predetermined amount of brokens, as
required by the customer
11. Weighing and bagging - preparing milled rice for transport to the
customer

Operator's skills
There are good and poor rice mill operators. Often, the mill operator is
an untrained apprentice who has picked up skills on the job. The mill
should be operated by a skilled operator. An operator who is continually
adjusting valves, hammering ducts, and screens does not have the required
skills. In properly designed mills there should be very little adjusting
required with the machines, once a steady state in the grain flow is attained.
His mill however is often dusty, dirty, with ducts and bearings worn-out.
Tell tales of improper mill operation are paddy in the rice husk exhaust, rice
husk in the separator, brokens in the bran, excessive bran recovery, and
under-milled rice. Training of operators in operation and maintenance of
rice mills are crucial in improving rice quality.
If any of these requirements is not met, milling will result in poor
quality rice. For instance, milling of poor quality paddy will always result in
poor quality milled rice, even if a state-of-the-art mill is used or the miller is
experienced.
Similarly, the use of good quality paddy by a well skilled operator may
result in poor quality rice if the mill is not maintained regularly. The losses
in rice milling that can be attributed poor paddy quality, machine
limitations, or operator innocence, is anywhere from 3 to 10% of potential.
All types of rice milling machine must be pass all the requirements set
by standard of milling operation. The agricultural machinery testing and
evaluation center (AMTEC) is the agency responsible of any machinery
evaluation.

(Internet)
The basic objective of a rice milling system is to remove the husk and the
bran layers, and produce an edible, white rice kernel that is sufficiently
milled and free of impurities. Depending on the requirements of the
customer, the rice should have a minimum of broken kernels.
Most rice varieties are composed of roughly 20% rice hull, 11% bran
layers, and 69% starchy endosperm, also referred to as the total milled rice.
Total milled rice contains whole grains or head rice, and brokens. The by-
products in rice milling are rice hull, rice germ and bran layers, and fine
brokens.
A rice milling system can be a simple one or two step process, or a multi
stage process. In a one step milling process, husk and bran removal are
done in one pass and milled or white rice is produced directly out of paddy.
In a two step process, removing husk and removing bran are done
separately, and brown rice is produced as an intermediate product. In
multistage milling, rice will undergo a number of different processing steps.
Major Processes
A commercial rice miller will have following objectives, produce edible rice
that appeals to the customer- i.e. rice that is sufficiently milled and free of
husks, stones, and other non-grain materials maximize the total milled rice
recovery out of paddy minimize grain breakage.
Principle of operation
This latter solution has been found to be the most practical one as the
rollers can easily be taken off and replaced or switched round and this at
the same time reduce the size of the machine.
Whatever the design of the machine is, rubber brake wear out deeper
in their upper and central parts where the higher surface speed of the cone
presses the rice hardest. This wear is made up by re-adjusting the
clearance between brakes and cone, but after some time the edge of the
brake round up, making it easier for the grains to pass through the gap.
Thus it is often necessary to true the brake up to give it back a sharp edge.
This must be done by means of a special machine.
With respect to brake and cone adjustments the theories and different
and conflicting. As a rule the brakes should protrude into a crib just enough
to hold back the rice without causing it to pressed too hard. The generally
held view is that the brakes should protrude only a little more than the with
of the grain; however when kernels are large and round, brakes may

equipment DABALOS Revision # 01
protrude slightly more, i.e. approximately as much as twice the with of the
grain. As to the space between cone face and brakes,this must be much as
to allow the grains to pass through without braking and on the basis of the
general rule, it should be only a little wider than twice the with of the grain.
These settings, however, the mainly meant for general guindance since
vertical cone adjustment and brake positioning is also decided in relation to
whitening degree and machine output, grain texture and brittleness and
grade of abrasiveness of the cone coating.
AIR ASPIRATION
The combine effect of scouring and rubbing causes rice to heat and to lose
some of its moisture. The rise in temperature increase breakage and
dissolves the fatty substances of the outer endosperm and germ layers.
Heat, moisture and partial melting of the fatty substances help bran to cake
and clog the holes in the crib lining, thus reducing whitening performance.
To prevent this at the same time to keep the milling area free of dust ( the
smallest and lightest particles of bran), air must be aspirated from the
inside of the machine casing by central system. This, are recommended by
the makers should.
1. Before starting the machine make sure that the cone, when operated
by the hand wheel, moves smoothly up and down and especially when
it is being lowered. If it does not respond check the rests and the
bearing and grease them if necessary.
2. Check the crib segment to make sure that they are firmly fixed
together or well fitted into their slots and see that the lining have no
holes or tears.
4. By raising or lowering the cone, adjust the gap between cone surface
and crib; this should be about 12-13 millimeters.
5. Check the feed bin of the first machine. If there ir enough rice to
secure a constant flow, start the machine.

6. When machine is in motion open slowly the feed slide as much as
necessary as to form a “head” of rice on the top of the cone; when the
machine is in operation this must always be there.
7. Take the samples of rice respectively from inlet and outlet and
compare them under good light. As soon as the whitening process
begins, the second sample must look whiter. If not, lower the cone
slightly, make another test and repeat both adjustments and tests
until there in an appreciable difference in white between the two
sample.
10. Before starting the machines which are next to the first one, allow
time for enough rice to accumulate in their bins.
11. When using a series of cones the first machine must do more work
and must remove more bran than the second does. Similarly, the
second machine must work more and must remove more bran than
the third and so on. Thus, if any machine does not have a good head
of rice above the cone, reduce the milling pressure in the preceding
ones. If, on the contrary a machine has too much rice inside its bin,
adjust the others to spread out evenly rice distribution.
12. While processing check frequently the suction system and in order to
make it work properly be sure that all inspection doors are closed.
13. Check the cribs; if the segment discharges more bran than the
others. Adjust the settings of that particular brake.
14. In order to stop the machine close the feed slide, allow some time for
the rice inside the machine to be discharged and then switch off.
15. If there is an accidental stoppage close the feed gate, raise the cone to
let out the rice which is on the machine and switch off the electric
motor (if the automatic switch does not exist).
16. Stones, pieces of metals and other hard objectives which find their
way into the machine make ratting noises. If these is the case shut
off the feed at once and raise the cone as high as possible.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to identify the
cleaning and storage of the machine.
Employee Facilities
Employee facilities need to be adequate, clean and well maintained.
Lockers are necessary for storing employees' personal belongings.
Washroom facilities require cleaning once or more each shift. They also need
to have a good supply of soap, towels plus disinfectants, if needed.
If workers are using hazardous materials, employee facilities should
provide special precautions such as showers, washing facilities and change
rooms. Some facilities may require two locker rooms with showers between.
Using such double locker rooms allows workers to shower off workplace
contaminants and prevents them from contaminating their "street clothes"
by keeping their work clothes separated from the clothing that they wear
home.
Smoking, eating or drinking in the work area should be prohibited
where toxic materials are handled. The eating area should be separate from
the work area and should be cleaned properly each shift.
Surfaces
Floors: Poor floor conditions are a leading cause of accidents so
cleaning up spilled oil and other liquids at once is important. Allowing chips,
shavings and dust to accumulate can also cause accidents. Trapping chips,
shavings and dust before they reach the floor or cleaning them up regularly
can prevent their accumulation. Areas that cannot be cleaned continuously,
such as entrance ways, should have anti-slip flooring. Keeping floors in good
order also means replacing any worn, ripped, or damaged flooring that poses
a tripping hazard.
Walls: Light-coloured walls reflect light while dirty or dark-coloured
walls absorb light. Contrasting colours warn of physical hazards and mark
obstructions such as pillars. Paint can highlight railings, guards and other
safety equipment, but should never be used as a substitute for guarding.
The program should outline the regulations and standards for colours.
Spill Control
The best way to control spills is to stop them before they happen.
Regularly cleaning and maintaining machines and equipment is one way.
Another is to use drip pans and guards where possible spills might occur.
When spills do occur, it is important to clean them up immediately.
Absorbent materials are useful for wiping up greasy, oily or other liquid
spills. Used absorbents must be disposed of properly and safely.
Maintenance
The maintenance of buildings and equipment may be the most
important element of good housekeeping. Maintenance involves keeping
buildings, equipment and machinery in safe, efficient working order and in
good repair. This includes maintaining sanitary facilities and regularly
painting and cleaning walls. Broken windows, damaged doors, defective
plumbing and broken floor surfaces can make a workplace look neglected;
these conditions can cause accidents and affect work practices. So it is
important to replace or fix broken or damaged items as quickly as possible.
A good maintenance program provides for the inspection, maintenance,
upkeep and repair of tools, equipment, machines and processes.
Waste Disposal
The regular collection, grading and sorting of scrap contribute to good
housekeeping practices. It also makes it possible to separate materials that
can be recycled from those going to waste disposal facilities.
Storage
Good organization of stored materials is essential for overcoming
material storage problems whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
There will also be fewer strain injuries if the amount of handling is reduced,
especially if less manual materials handling is required. The location of the
stockpiles should not interfere with work but they should still be readily
available when required. Stored materials should allow at least one metre (or
about three feet) of clear space under sprinkler heads.
Stacking cartons and drums on a firm foundation and cross tying
them, where necessary, reduces the chance of their movement. Stored
materials should not obstruct aisles, stairs, exits, fire equipment, emergency
eyewash fountains, emergency showers, or first aid stations. All storage
areas should be clearly marked.
Flammable, combustible, toxic and other hazardous materials should
be stored in approved containers in designated areas that are appropriate
for the different hazards that they pose. Storage of materials should meet all
requirements specified in the fire codes and the regulations of environmental
and occupational health and safety agencies in your jurisdiction.

cleaned properly each shift.

DOCUMENTATION
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to perform proper
documentation in rice mill operation.
1. Identify the ultimate goal for the process involved. Knowing what
must be accomplished in order for the process to be productive helps to
set parameters in terms of time and the use of resources in completing
essential tasks within the process.
2. Catalog the resources required to successfully complete the process.
Include not only tangible resources such as money and equipment but
also time and expertise. This will come in handy when deciding exactly
how to address each of the steps and outline how to complete them in the
most efficient manner possible.
3. Think about the logical sequence of events that must occur in order
for the process to advance. Often the completion of 1 step will actually
pave the way for the execution of the next step in the sequence. For
example, defining the purpose of a letter is necessary before writing that
letter, which in turn is necessary in order for the letter to be mailed.
4. Arrange the identified steps in the most logical sequence. Make sure
that each completed step easily prepares for the completion of the next
step in the sequence with the last step achieving the ultimate purpose for
the process.
5. Create an exception listing that covers each junction in the process
sequence. Exceptions are outcomes at each step in the process that have
a low potential for occurring but could derail the forward movement if not
addressed. The goal of identifying and addressing potential exceptions is
to prepare a contingency approach to completing each step without some
unplanned event derailing the entire process.

6. Test the sequence. If possible, attempt to complete the process by
following each step in order. This will make it possible to refine the
instructions for each step and make sure the desired effect at each stage
is achieved. An actual testing of the sequence will often make it easier to
identify some small factor that was overlooked previously, and make the
final process document more logical and comprehensive.
