Precision and Power. First choice technology partner in rice sorting. Discoloured grains, by-product and foreign material can all affect food safety and product value. Bühler technology significantly reduces these issues to maximise yield, increase profitability and ensure consistent product safety. Accept Reject Short grain Trials conducted by Bühler experts on short grain white rice showed the successful removal of spots, peck and various foreign materials including husks, stones and seeds. Parboiled Bühler trials on parboiled rice showed the successful removal of various rice discolouration from the sample, including black tips, yellows, streaks and foreign materials. White rice Sample tests on white rice showed the removal of challenging defects such as greys, yellows, streaks and immature grains along with foreign materials. Suitable for all rice varieties.
