Rice Powder Production Line: An Automated & Efficient Solution for Grain Deep Processing

The Rice Powder Production Line represents the latest advancement in grain deep processing technology, integrating grinding, dust collection, mixing, conveying, and intelligent control into a complete automated process. This comprehensive system is designed for large-scale, hygienic rice powder production, delivering superior quality products while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and operational efficiency.

Advanced Processing Technology

• Multi-Stage Grinding System:
  The production line employs a sophisticated multi-stage grinding approach, utilizing both hammer mills and pin mills to achieve precise particle size control from coarse rice grits to ultra-fine rice flour (40-200 mesh), preserving nutritional value and functional properties.

• Gentle Processing Methods:
  Low-temperature grinding technology prevents starch gelatinization and protein denaturation, maintaining the natural characteristics of rice while achieving the desired particle size distribution for various food applications.

• Continuous Operation Design:
  The system operates continuously with automatic material flow control, eliminating batch-to-batch variations and ensuring consistent product quality throughout extended production runs.
