Rice Mill Operating Precautions

Important checks for foreign materials, sample accuracy, milling time and grinding-wheel cleaning during rice-mill operation.

Rice mill requiring routine inspection
  1. Before brown rice enters the feed hopper, check for metal objects and stones to prevent damage to the grinding wheel.
  2. After milling, pull out the front rotating block and remove any bran remaining in the milling chamber so that it does not affect the accuracy of the next sample.
  3. Determine the sample quantity and milling time according to the brown-rice variety and required milling degree. A low-degree sample is generally 17-18 g with a shorter milling time; a high-degree sample can be about 20 g with a longer milling time.
  4. After prolonged use or processing high-moisture brown rice, bran may adhere to the grinding wheel and reduce milling performance. Disconnect the power, remove the grinding wheel with the proper tool, clean it with a wire brush and reinstall it correctly before use.
