Brief Description
Description : | Rice milling is a gigantic industry in India. India produces about 120 million tones of paddy. About 80% of the produce is marketed and converted to milled rice by the industry in rice milling systems ranging from the home-scale to the large, complex modern rice processing installations. It is estimated that the huller mills handle about 30 Million tones of paddy produced in the country. Huller mill is a very small, cheap and sturdy single step rice mill, quite popular for milling small quantities of paddy, particularly in rural areas. But it has some very serious drawbacks. Not only low rice yield is obtained, but also the by-products obtained are impure, particularly bran. The low oil content of huller bran makes it uneconomical for oil extraction |
