Pre-cleaner Paddy

The pre-cleaning process of paddy is a crucial step in the rice milling process. It involves removing impurities like dust, straw, sand, stones, and other foreign materials from the harvested paddy before further processing. This ensures the efficiency and quality of the subsequent steps, such as husking and milling.

• The paddy is passed through a series of sieves and screens to remove larger impurities like twigs, leaves, and stones.
• Aspiration systems are used to blow away lighter impurities like dust and chaff.

Benefits of pre-cleaning:

• Improved milling efficiency: Clean paddy reduces wear and tear on milling machinery, leading to longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs.
• Enhanced rice quality: Removal of impurities results in cleaner and whiter rice with better taste and aroma.
• Increased milling yield: Less wastage due to broken grains and impurities leads to higher rice output.
• Reduced storage losses: Clean paddy is less prone to pest infestation and spoilage during storage.
