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.
Services and training
Hulling
To produce rice, you first need to hull the paddy rice and remove the husks. This is achieved by the gentle action of rubber rollers applied to the paddy, after which the husk aspirator separates the husk from the rice by means of air aspiration.
Services and training
Whitening
With an efficient rice whitening process, you can gently remove the bran layers from brown rice to enhance its appearance, extend shelf life, and achieve consistent product quality. Removing the oxidation-sensitive lipids found in the embryo and bran helps preserve the rice, while multi-stage whitening ensures evenly milled grains, optimum uniformity, and a minimum proportion of broken rice.

Polishing
With an efficient rice polishing process, you can gently remove residual bran dust from whitened rice and create a smooth, dust-free surface with an attractive silky lustre. By carefully rubbing the rice kernels against one another, our rice polishers help you enhance the appearance and market appeal of your finished product, making it stand out on retail shelves.

Sorting rice
Optical sorting is essential in any processing operation, as it helps you meet food safety requirements and increase the purity of the product. Our sorting equipment uses a range of technologies including cameras, lighting and machine learning software.
Services and training
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.

Precision at every stage
Our weighing and dosing equipment offers you the precision and accuracy you need. It can also help with internal processes and control by ensuring accurate weight registrations – from loading and unloading of bulk products, bagging and weight control to mixing systems for micro-components.
