A rice mill is an agricultural processing machine used to remove the husk and bran layers from harvested paddy rice to produce clean, edible rice grains. It consists of a feeding hopper, husking unit, whitening chamber, polishing system, grading screens, and a power-driven motor. The machine is designed to process large quantities of paddy efficiently while minimizing grain breakage and maximizing rice quality.
In operation, paddy rice is fed into the hopper and passed through the husking unit, where the outer husk is removed. The rice then moves to the whitening and polishing chambers, where the bran layers are gradually removed to produce smooth, clean grains. Finally, the processed rice is screened and graded according to size and quality before being discharged for packaging or storage. Rice mills are widely used in agricultural processing facilities and commercial grain production to improve efficiency and produce market-ready rice.
