Suitable for all rice varieties.

Red Brown

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.

Short grain Parboiled

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.

Accept Reject

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.
