Storage System for Rice Mill Plant
A leading rice processing enterprise planned to expand its production capacity by constructing a modern grain storage and handling system capable of supporting continuous milling operations throughout the year. The customer required a reliable storage solution that could ensure stable raw rice supply, reduce manual labor, improve conveying efficiency, and maintain grain quality during long-term storage.
Customer Requirements
The customer faced several operational challenges:
Insufficient raw rice storage capacity during harvest season
Inconsistent feeding to the rice milling production line
High labor costs for material handling
Need for automated storage and discharge operations
Prevention of grain moisture, mold, and contamination
Future production expansion requirements
The customer requested a storage solution capable of integrating seamlessly with existing rice milling equipment while ensuring efficient logistics and reliable long-term operation.
Our Solution
Manxing designed a customized rice storage system based on the customer's plant layout and production capacity.
The solution included:
Galvanized corrugated steel silos for raw rice storage
Bucket elevators for vertical conveying
Belt conveyors for horizontal transportation
Chain conveyors for material distribution
Grain cleaning equipment before storage
Level monitoring system
Temperature monitoring system
Automatic material distribution system
PLC intelligent control system
Dust collection system
Complete electrical control and automation
The entire system enables continuous receiving, cleaning, conveying, storage, discharge, and feeding to the rice processing line with minimal manual intervention.
Working Process
The harvested rice is delivered by truck to the receiving pit.
After preliminary cleaning, the rice is transported through bucket elevators and belt conveyors into the designated storage silos.
Inside the silos, the intelligent monitoring system continuously detects grain temperature and storage level to ensure safe storage conditions.
When production begins, the PLC control system automatically starts the conveying equipment according to preset operating procedures.
Rice is discharged from the silo through the unloading system and transported directly to the rice milling production line, providing stable and continuous material supply.
The entire process minimizes material loss while significantly improving production efficiency.
Project Advantages
Stable Raw Material Supply
Large-capacity storage guarantees continuous production throughout the year, especially during the non-harvest season.
Intelligent Automation
Automatic conveying, storage, discharge, and monitoring reduce labor requirements while improving operational efficiency.
Grain Quality Protection
Scientific ventilation design and temperature monitoring help maintain grain quality and reduce spoilage during storage.
Flexible Expansion
The modular silo structure allows future capacity expansion without affecting current production.
Reduced Operating Costs
Efficient conveying equipment and automated control lower energy consumption and labor expenses.
Reliable Long-Term Operation
High-quality galvanized steel structures provide excellent corrosion resistance and long service life with minimal maintenance.
Project Results
After commissioning, the customer achieved:
Increased raw rice storage capacity
Continuous feeding to the rice milling line
Reduced manual handling costs
Improved grain storage safety
Higher production efficiency
Lower operating and maintenance costs
Enhanced inventory management through intelligent monitoring
The project successfully established a modern, automated, and highly efficient rice storage system supporting long-term production growth.
