Rice Grain Dryer: Ensuring Optimal Drying for High-Quality Rice

In Italy, rice production plays a significant role, with cultivation primarily concentrated in the regions of Piemonte, Lombardia, and Veneto. The kernels of rice, known as paddy or raw rice, must undergo drying to become edible.

After harvest, rice needs to be carefully dried to remove the moisture within the grains. This process requires a delicate approach to prevent cracking or damage to the grain. Key factors that influence the quality of rice drying include the grain temperature and the duration of heat exposure. For optimal results, the temperature of the drying air for rice should be kept between 35°C and 38°C. Exceeding this temperature, especially for extended periods, can lead to grain breakage, significantly reducing the quality of the rice.

Using a specialized rice grain dryer ensures that the rice is dried gently and effectively, preserving its integrity and enhancing its overall quality. Proper drying is crucial for maintaining the value of the rice and preparing it for market.
