Silica extraction from RHA

Gravity screeners

Grain technologies

MILLTEC supplies 1- and 2-ton processing
plants for the extraction of silica from rice husk
ash (RHA). Silica extraction is based on batch
processing and it usually takes eight hours for
one batch of RHA. Disposal of RHA is a major
issue faced by millers. For every 1,000 kg of
paddy milled, about 200 kg of husk is produced. When this husk is burned in the boilers,
about 50 kg of RHA is generated. RHA is a good
source of high-grade silica that is non-toxic, and
it can be used in various industries. Byproducts
like activated carbon and sodium carbonate are
also extracted from RHA.

Optical sorters

Mobile maize analyzer

Satake America Latina Ltda.'s FSMR
series of optical sorters uses the latest RGB
technology, which includes shape sorting
capabilities to remove unwanted products
such as discoloration and irregular shapes
from small products. The FMSR 02-L, with two
chutes, and the FMSR 03-L with three chutes,
recently launched in the Brazilian market. For
larger capacity requirements, multiple models
of the sorters can be connected, up to six
chutes. For example, FMSR 02-L and FMSR
03-L can be connected to make up a 5-chute
optical sorter for the rice industry with higher
throughput.

Bühler's mobile maize (corn) analyzer
GrainiGo offers instant quality analysis coupled
with the Internet of Things. With a smartphone
photo, the analyzer is able to identify the yield
and quality parameters of a maize sample. The
cloud-based service provides flexibility, tracks
product performances and offers a low-cost
solution for quality assurance, Bühler said.
With its portable design, it may be used at
any point of the production train making it
possible to track raw materials from a supplier
or negotiating prices directly on the fields.
