Rice is the most important crop for urban and rural residents in my country. In normal years, my country’s annual output of rice is about 200 million tons. The rich rice resources provide an important material foundation for the development of my country’s rice processing industry.
In 2010, there were 5,666 rice processing enterprises above designated size in the unified enterprises nationwide, with an annual production capacity of 94.63 million tons, of which: 4741 enterprises with a daily processing and drying capacity of less than 100 tons, 754 enterprises with a daily processing and drying capacity of 100-200 tons, and 200-400 There are 132 enterprises with tons of tons, 38 enterprises with 400 to 1,000 tons, and 10 enterprises with more than 1,000 tons.
In the 1950s, machinery such as cleaning sieves, stone removing machines, and "59 type" grain separation sieving screens appeared; from the 1960s to the 1970s, a complete set of combined rice milling equipment with a daily output of 30 tons and 50 tons, and a flat-turning grain sieve , Gravity grain separator, rice sprayer, rice polishing machine, rice color sorter, grain separation equipment, white rice finishing equipment and other equipment were born; in the 1990s, rice finishing and rice drying conditioning technology, brown rice The research and development of key technology and equipment for circulation and comprehensive demonstration projects, the research and development of high-quality rice post-harvest finishing and preservation technology and equipment, and the research and development of rice deep processing technology have been completed.
The staff of the Rice Branch of the China Grain Industry Association said that the birth of these equipment technologies can show my country's emphasis on rice processing technology research.
In the mid to late 1990s, my country's rice processing equipment manufacturing industry entered a period of rapid development.
In March 2011, my country's first farmer invented a grain dryer was born in Hunan!
As private capital entered the field of rice processing machinery production, the former state-owned grain machinery factory began to gradually transfer to private capital. These grain machinery factories have independently developed a variety of new equipment. The main equipment widely used in large and medium-sized rice processing plants are vertical rice mills, low-temperature rice mills, rice polishers, rice drum selection machines, and rice color selection. Machine, gravity grain separator, brown rice selection machine, rice fresh-keeping packaging machine, rice bran puffing machine, low crushing elevator, rice blending device, etc.
However, in the face of multinational companies with advanced technology development capabilities, my country's native rice processing machinery companies, weak funds and poor R&D capabilities, have become important factors restricting the development of enterprises.
Some experts said that with the further improvement of the dietary structure of my country's residents, my country's rice processing industry will surely further increase the intensity of technological upgrading.
"In the future, we will focus on the development of high-quality rice finishing, the development and application of technology such as fine milling, quenching and tempering, and finished products finishing in the processing process, and vigorously develop multiple uses such as rice bran and other by-products to produce oil, and to increase the rice rate, polished rice, and specialties. The development of five series of products including deep processing of rice and broken rice, rice additives and comprehensive utilization of rice husk and rice bran supports the development of reasonable-scale enterprises."
