The modern rice milling process

Hulling: rice hulling process is called "hulling", rice hulled grains called it "brown rice", brown rice is light brown, used to peel off the hull of the machine called "hulling machine The machine used to remove the husk is called a "huller". The process of hulling is not possible to get 100 percent brown rice, grain and brown rice mixed together is called it "grain brown mixture".

Separation of grain and brown: the "grain and brown mixture" to separate out the process of grain and brown rice is called "separation of grain and brown", the grain and brown rice will be separated from the machine is called "grain and brown separation machine The machine that separates the grain from the rice is called a "grain and brown separator".

Polishing white: grinding the outer skin of brown rice with a grinding wheel to remove the light brown layer (cortex and germ), so that the brown rice into white grains called it "rice" or "white rice", grinding down the light brown powder called it " The process of turning brown rice into white rice is called "rice milling". The brown rice into white rice machine is called rice milling machine, rice machine used to grind the grinding wheel is called "sand roller".

Polishing: the surface of the white rice polished to a bright grain of rice is called "fine rice" or "polished rice", white rice polished to a bright grain of rice process is called "polishing", polished rice machine is called "polishing". The machine for polishing rice is called a "polishing machine".

Modern rice milling usually has another substitute, for example, in Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule, the earth huller that is for the rural areas of the zero fine unit of rice milling plant. Among other things, Tu huller is a substitute for a rice-milling stone mortar.
