Intake & Pre-Cleaning

With Bühler’s reliable rice conditioning and cleaning solutions, you can extend grain storage life, improve rice quality, optimize your rice processing flow, and increase production reliability. Our proven drum sieves, aspiration channels, and TAS grain cleaners help you remove impurities and contaminants efficiently, ensuring consistently clean grain, smooth downstream processing, and a high-quality final product.

Drying & Storage

With Bühler’s reliable rice drying and storage solutions, you can protect product quality, preserve the value of your rice, and maintain optimum conditions throughout storage. Our high-quality rice drying systems support effective grain conservation and can also be integrated into parboiled rice production. Whether you need steel silos or flat storage, we provide flexible rice storage systems tailored to your capacity requirements, local environment, and operating conditions.

Mill-Cleaning

With Bühler’s reliable rice mill-cleaning solutions, you can efficiently remove coarse and fine impurities such as straw, wood, stones, soil, sand, dust, and loose husks before milling. Our aspiration channels remove low-density particles, while separators, magnets, and destoners provide thorough grain cleaning to protect downstream rice milling equipment, improve process reliability, and support consistent product quality.

 

Plansifters, length grading, tip separation and bran sifting

We offer a wide range of plansifters and length graders which grade the rice into head rice, broken rice fractions and tips. They also remove bran lumps from the product. We also offer solutions to remove tips from bran to achieve a pure bran and tips fraction.
