This system is intended to parboil paddy, a process of partially cooking the paddy while ensuring that the grain husks remain intact. This process hardens the paddy and allows it to withstand the stress of milling activities, without losing nutritional value. Our parboilers and driers are constructed with stainless steel to maximize hygiene standards and processing. They are equipped with a hot air blower and a heat exchanger to ensure maximum efficiency in heat transfer during the parboiling process.
The process requires a special boiler, pre-cleaner, sufficient storage, soaking and parboiling system, fluidized bed dryer, a battery of column dryers with storage and conditioning bins.
The pre-cleaned paddy is soaked, cooked, and dried in stages to avoid brittleness and allows the gelatinization process to remain steady throughout.
Key Features
Innovation
A new concept of preheating paddy enhances water absorption and reduces soaking time
High quality materials
Complete stainless steel (SS 202) construction ensures hygiene and sustainability
Automation
Automatic controls for special discharge roller arrangement ensures top-down delivery
Custom design
Customized designs to suit many varieties of paddy
Options available
Can be supplied along with boilers to avoid mismatch of steam requirement
Constant temperature
The constant temperature of the water is maintained by re-circulating water at regular intervals during the soaking process
Space saving
Maximum size soaking tanks are used to reduce space
Homogeneous cooking
A completely automatic cooking process by using online cooker ensures homogeneous cooking
Moisture reduction
Fluid bed drier guarantees the removal of residual water and reduces moisture by 5% before drying
