Our re-circulating grain dryer (using Mixed Flow technology) against competitors’ re-circulating grain dryer(using Crossed Flow technology).

AGRO-INDUS mixed flow dryer produce the best quality grains because of its continous mixing effect. The inlet and outlet ducts can be placed in alternating so that cross flow, concurrent flow and counter flow of the air can be achieved within one dryer. In our mixed flow dryer, the grain is permanently being mixed while it passes the drying section and thus a moisture gradient cannot develop. Therefore, it is considered as the most optimal solution for producing top quality rice. The design also allow drying at higher temperature (above 60-70 or even 80 degree C for wet paddy), thus drying time could be shorten greatly, yet able to dry very evenly, if compared to competitors’ cross flow dryer.

Whereby, in our competitors’ cross flow dryer, the grains are not mixed while they are passing the drying section and being exposed to the hot drying air. This means that a moisture gradient develops in the drying section of the dryer. In recirculation and tempering process, this gradient is reduced because the wet and dry grains are mixed while they are being conveyed and subsequently moisture transfer happens from the wetter to the dryer grains. This process in not optimal. In addition, the hot air, which is blown from one side could cause overheated on one side and uneven drying may happen. The design of competitors’ dryer has also making it unable to dry paddy at higher temperature, otherwise may cause overdried or uneven drying. As a result, this kind of dryer may reduced head rice yield greatly. And uneven drying may even cause discoloration of rice & mold development.

See also our grain mixed flow grain dryer against competitors’ vibro dryer / flash dryer / fluidise bed dryer.

Many have tried to use fludise bed dryer or so called “flash dryer” for drying paddy. Yet, resulting in great losses, due to producing high broken rice. One shouldn’t use the fluidise bed dryer for drying paddy from 30% or 26% MC straight down to 14% MC. This dryer is only good for pre-drying (e.g. taking the moisture content from >30% down to 26%). Otherwise, very low head rice yield, due to extremely high temperature drying at >125 degree C. Grain that is too dry may becomes brittle and has greater breakage. Moisture content and temperature during the drying process is also critical as it detemines whether small fissures and/or full cracks are introduced into the grain structure. Another good reason not the use the fluidise bed dryer for drying paddy is its tremedously high energy consumption. Just look at the motor it uses, compared to AGRO-INDUS re-circulating mixed flow dryer, as well as our continuous mixed flow dryer.

Let’s do a little of wise calculation :

A : Power consumption for six Company C machines          = 134 kw x RM 0.30 x 12 hrs x 26 days x 12 months = RM 150,508.80

B : Power consumption for two of our machines        =   67 kw x RM 0.30 x 12 hrs x 26 days x 12 months = RM    75,254.40

C : Company C machines consume more power in 12 mts =   RM 75,254.40 more expensive than ours

D :  Now you can practically see than we are not expensive after all, just in 12 months comparison. Please bear in mind

       That the following year figure will be profit to the customer.  

Another case is: A customer require a 3.6 TPH Rice Whitening process

·         If use Company C Whitener at  1.2 TPH, require 3 unit. Each running at 30HP, therefore 30HP X 3 = 90HP. Price at RM30,000 each. So, RM 90,000 for 3 unit.

·         If use our (BHZ model), we JUST need 1 unit to run 3.6 TPH running at 50HP and Priced at RM50,000 for 1 unit.

·         90HP – 50HP = 40HP x 0.75 = Saving 30kW !

·         Let’s say the customer is running the Rice Mill at 10 hours per day, 26 days a month and 12 months a year = 2600 hours

·         2600 hours x 30kW = 78,000kWhr

·         Let’s say the cost of electricity is at RM0.366/1kWhr

·         So,  78,000 x RM0.366 = RM 28,548 in saving per annum!!!

The same goes to our Rubber Rollers. You calculate base on longer hours of operation to beat the competitors in cost per ton paddy hulling. If you use this method of selling you will be able to sell quality products and make more profit without much headache. At the moment we only have 10”x10” R/Rollers.  You can buy 4 pcs for testing to convince yourself first before buying in quantity.

e.g.

·         Each Paddy Husker requires 2 Rubber Rolls.

·         If use Rubber Roll from Company T @ RM120 which gives 70 Ton Life Time = RM120 X 2 = RM 240

o   But, cost based on ton/hr = 240/70 = RM 3.43/Ton

·         If use Rubber Roll from AGRO-INDUS @ RM160 which gives 140 Ton Life Time = RM160 X 2 = RM320

o   But, cost based on ton/hr = 320/140 = RM 2.28/Ton

With Our Machines, More Head Rice Means More Savings & More Savings Means Making More Money!

Rice Miller A running his mill using Company C Rice Milling Machine at 10 ton per hour, 10 hours per day (10×10= 100 ton per day), 26 days a month (26 x 100 = 2600 ton per month x 12 = 31,200 ton per year)

We took 100 gram of white rice from the site of Rice Miller A after the last whitening machine and found out the following result (using lab grading machine)

·         72.5% head rice

·         27.5% broken rice

We took 100gram of paddy from Rice Miller A and milled with our rice mill testing machine (of which our Rice Milling Machines is set to the same standard).

The result was:

·         ±70.0 gram = ±70% recovery

o   54.4 gram of head rice (77.8% of whole grain)

o   15.5 gram of broken rice (22.2%)

So, 77.8% -72.5% = 5.3% more head rice with our machines!

Let’s say the price of head rice is RM1.70 per KG, for Rice Miller A who is running his mill at 31,200 ton per year as calculated on the above, the savings would be tremendous!

·         5.3% of the 31,200 ton per year is 1653.6 ton per year (1653.6 x 1000 = 1,653,600 kg more head rice)

·         1,653,600 kg x RM1.70 per kg = making RM2,811,120.00 more money per year!

Earlier on, many Rice Millers found that using Hot Air Rice Husk Furnace a cheap and good solution to expansive diesel. Yet, in the end many have faced another huge problem. Rice Millers are losing even more money due to the inefficient Hot Air Rice Husk Furnace that cause the uneven drying. Many had complaint that they were producing more “red rice” than before. The unstable temperature of the Hot Air technology has also contributed to produce more “broken rice” due to improper drying of the paddy. The more bad rice is produced = the less profit margin for the Rice Millers.

Today, many have found that the Hot-Water Heating Fluidised Bed Rice Husk Furnace is by far the most efficient of all. There are customers who are savings hundred thousands to million dollar on fuel a year by using them.

Few ways of saving money & making more profit is:

1- Utilize of alternative energy to replace fuel in paddy drying & utilised of Biomass to generate the electricity.

2- Increase capacity & efficiency by upgrading the machinery

3- Improve dust & noise pollution system to ensure clean & healthier working environment

4- Improve quality product by using high quality machinery

5- Implementation of optimize process

6- Apply computerised technology plant management system
