Rice Cleaner vs Rice Destoner: Which Machine Does Your Rice Mill Need?
Rice mill buyers use several names for similar equipment: rice cleaning machine, paddy cleaner, rice destoner, and paddy cleaner and destoner. The correct name depends on what the machine actually removes. Choosing the correct configuration helps obtain clean rice while avoiding a missing processing step.
What Is a Rice Destoner?
A rice destoner is designed primarily to separate stones, sand and other heavy impurities from rice, paddy or grain. It uses gravity, vibration and airflow so the heavier material follows a different path from the grain. It is an important part of a rice milling line because stones can affect finished-rice quality and damage downstream equipment.
Useful search terms include rice destoner machine, rice stone removing machine, paddy destoner machine, rice mill destoner and gravity destoner machine.
What Is a Rice Cleaner & Destoner?
A cleaner & destoner configuration is for material containing more than stones and sand. Depending on the installed screens and configuration, it can handle additional impurities such as larger and smaller unwanted particles before the destoning stage. It is commonly described as rice cleaning equipment, paddy cleaner and destoner, or rice cleaning machine with destoner.
