Whitener

Whitener is otherwise known an abrasive polisher. This is a technique used to remove a layer of bran from rice by polishing using rough stones. The rice is gently passed through the abrasion chamber between specific silicon carbide stones and, by this process, the brown rice turns white. The removed bran is collected by the attached external suction blower.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many stones does whitener have?

Whitener comes with 6 stones in total.

Does whitener have rice variety restriction?

No, whitener itself has various components with various critical parameters, for each variety of rice the dimensions or the grade of components may vary.

Should I think a lot about a stone grade in whitener?

No, orange engineers will assess the type of rice and stone to be used in your rice mill and we will give you the best solution, you don’t have to worry about it.

What are green stone and black stone in whitener?

Greenstone is green silicon carbide and Black stone is Black Silicon Carbide. Not all type of processed rice needs to be used with high-grade stone Physical Properties: Green silicon carbide is of higher purity than black silicon carbide. Green silicon carbide is sharp and friable, which makes it a good abrasive. It is the hardest of the conventional abrasives and it's a bit high in cost.

Does adding husk actually helps in bringing out the best rice output from whitener?

Yes, husk has more silica content on its layer, which acts as additive abrasive material making rice evenly polished.
