Cold Chain Rice Production Line

Detailed Equipment Introduction

Gain in-depth insights into the equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.

Our cold chain rice production line is engineered for agri-food exporters, rice processors, and government grain reserve systems who demand maximum freshness, minimal breakage, and full traceability in every batch. Unlike traditional hot-processing lines, our integrated cold-chain system maintains rice temperature below 15°C throughout dehusking, polishing, grading, and packaging—locking in aroma, nutrition, and market value.

✅ Key Features

End-to-End Temperature Control: From paddy intake to vacuum-packed output, the entire line operates under controlled low-temperature conditions (4–15°C).
Breakage Rate <1.5%: Gentle pneumatic conveying + cryo-milling technology reduces kernel damage by up to 40% vs. conventional lines.
Modular Design: Scalable from 5 TPH to 50 TPH capacity; compatible with brown rice, white rice, parboiled rice, and specialty grains.
Smart Traceability: Built-in IoT sensors log temperature, humidity, processing time, and operator ID—export-ready QR code tracking for EU/US compliance.
Hygienic Construction: 304 stainless steel contact surfaces, CIP (Clean-in-Place) system, meets FDA, ISO 22000, and HACCP standards.

🌍 Ideal For:

Export-oriented rice mills targeting premium markets (EU, Japan, Middle East)
Government food security projects requiring long-term grain storage without chemical fumigation
Organic & specialty rice brands needing certified cold-chain handling for label claims
Agri-tech integrators building smart grain processing hubs

🔧 Technical Integration

The line includes:

Pre-cooling silo with rapid chilling unit
Low-temp rubber-roll husker
Cryogenic whitening & polishing machine
Optical color sorter with AI defect detection
Automated weighing & nitrogen-flushed packaging (up to 25kg bags or bulk bins)
Centralized PLC control with remote monitoring via cloud dashboard

Case Study: A Vietnamese exporter using our 20 TPH cold chain line achieved 37% higher FOB price for Jasmine rice in German supermarkets due to verified “cold-chain certified” labeling and extended shelf life (18 months vs. 9 months).

📈 Why Cold Chain Matters for Rice?

Traditional rice processing exposes grains to ambient heat during milling—accelerating lipid oxidation, rancidity, and insect infestation. Our cold chain solution:

Extends shelf life by 2–3x
Preserves volatile aromatic compounds (e.g., 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline in Basmati/Jasmine)
Eliminates need for post-storage fumigation
Meets EU Regulation (EU) 2023/2007 on temperature-controlled agri-food transport
