Best Alternative to Diesel Fuel for Paddy Drying Monday, June 30th, 2008
The raise of the International oil price has causing the use of diesel fuel for paddy drying became irrelevant for many. The critical situation is forcing most Rice Millers to find good alternatives to diesel fuel. Todate, the rice husk has become a popular alternative to diesel. Rice Millers can now burn the rice husk to generate heat / thermal energy and then transferring them to the paddy dryers for drying paddy.
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.
