Paddy drying should reduce moisture without creating excessive thermal or moisture stress inside the grain kernel. When paddy is dried too aggressively, moisture gradients can develop between the inner and outer parts of the kernel. This may increase the risk of fissuring…
Paddy drying can directly influence the physical condition of rice kernels before milling. If moisture is removed too quickly or unevenly, internal stress may cause kernels to fissure. These fissures weaken the grain and can result in more broken rice during husking,…
A grain dryer is a machine or integrated system used to reduce moisture in harvested grain before storage, transportation or further processing. It uses controlled airflow, heat and grain movement to remove moisture while managing drying uniformity, product quality and energy use.…
Why Does Paddy Need a Dedicated Drying Program? Paddy can fissure when drying is too rapid, kernel temperature is too high, moisture gradients are large or cooling is poorly controlled. Co-Grain configures the paddy dryer according to paddy variety, incoming moisture, capacity,…
