Application of boiler in rice mill for Parboiling

Soaking
  • The paddy is soaked in water to increase the moisture content of the grains to around 30-35%.
  • The paddy is placed in large tanks filled with water. The soaking duration can vary from several hours to a couple of days, depending on the desired end quality.
  • Warm water soaking is preferred to expedite the process and to ensure uniform moisture absorption.
Steaming
  • To gelatinize the starch within the rice grains, making them harder and less prone to breakage during milling.
  • The soaked paddy is exposed to steam in steam chambers or parboiling tanks.
  • The steaming process typically lasts for 20-30 minutes, depending on the desired level of gelatinization.
  • High pressure and temperature are maintained to ensure uniform steaming.
Drying
  • To reduce the moisture content of the steamed paddy to around 14% for safe storage and milling.
  • The drying can be done using sun drying, hot air dryers, or mechanical dryers.
  • Initial rapid drying followed by slow drying to prevent cracking of the grains.
  • Proper control is maintained to ensure even drying and to avoid damage to the rice grains.
