ADD STEAM TO YOUR PADDY PROCESSING OPERATIONS
Complete Gelatinisation by Peripheral Steaming
In today’s competitive rice market, modern millers leverage innovative technologies to enhance efficiency, maintain product quality, and meet consumer expectations effectively for long-term success in the industry. Join the bandwagon of modern millers with our proven suite of Complete Gelatinization by Peripheral Steaming (CGPS). With the inception of producing online cookers in 2016, SKF has revolutionised paddy processing plants by integrating advanced technologies, automation being one among many. More than 200 successful installations have been executed across India and overseas.
How does Complete Gelatinization by Peripheral Steaming (CGPS) work?
Complete Gelatinization by Peripheral Steaming (CGPS) is split into two major parts according to the process for uniform steaming and controlled tempering under Pre-steaming and Final Steaming online cookers. Here’s a sneak into how they work:
Pre-steaming online cooker
-
Uniform peripheral steaming:
The Pre-steaming Online Cooker utilizes a unique peripheral steaming process that evenly distributes steam around the raw paddy. This method ensures that the paddy absorbs steam uniformly, promoting complete gelatinization of the starches, resulting in consistent cooking quality, enhanced flavor, and improved digestibility across all grains. -
Pioneering cooking technology:
The Pre-steaming cooker features automatic online contactless cooking, which minimises direct contact with the heating elements. This advanced technology reduces cooking time while preserving the quality of the grains. The patented condensate removal system ensures that excess moisture is efficiently eliminated, further optimising the cooking environment and enhancing the final rice quality. -
Optimum control and monitoring:
Equipped with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface), the online cooker allows for precise control over the cooking process. This system enables continuous monitoring of steam conditions, helping to manage the Maillard reaction for desired browning levels. The cooker is designed to accommodate all varieties of paddy, ensuring versatility and consistency in rice processing.
Final steaming online cooker
-
Fully automated Feeding System:
The process begins with an elevator and storage bin that automatically feeds raw paddy into the online cooker. This automated system ensures a continuous and uniform flow of paddy, minimizing handling and ensuring consistent steaming conditions. -
Consistent steaming and tempering:
Inside the online cooker, the raw paddy undergoes uniform steaming, which enhances its color, aroma, and digestive properties. After steaming, the paddy is transferred to a tempering bin. This stage allows for proper moisture distribution and temperature stabilization, ensuring optimal cooking quality before drying. -
Highly efficient drying:
Finally, the tempered paddy moves to the dryer, where it is dried to the desired moisture content. This step is crucial for preserving the quality of the grains and preventing spoilage. Throughout the entire process, minimal human intervention is required, resulting in high-quality output, increased operational efficiency, and lower errors.
Why choose Complete Gelatinization by Peripheral Steaming (CGPS)?
Powered by high efficiency:
SKF-owned Patented Noble Technology is an innovative approach in rice processing that focuses on optimal steam distribution to ensure consistent and high-quality gelatinization, benefiting both producers and consumers.
Signature of high productivity:
The automatic contactless cooking process adopts automation technology to prepare food without the need for physical contact during the cooking process, reducing contamination risks and enhancing efficiency.
Precision for high performance:
Control of “Maillard Browning” refers to the ability to precisely manage the Maillard reaction during the cooking or processing of rice, leading to browning and the development of rich flavors.
Equipped with consistency:
The CGPS process employs advanced technology to ensure that all grains are cooked evenly through precise control over factors such as temperature, cooking time, and moisture levels, thus minimising the risk of undercooked or overcooked grains.
Streamline to perfection:
The Condensate Removal System is an advanced moisture management system that plays a vital role in efficiently managing excess moisture, ensuring consistent texture and flavour of every grain.
Advantage of agility:
The CGPS gives modern millers the advantage of significantly enhancing rice processing operations by optimizing cooking parameters, integrating advanced techniques, and enabling real-time monitoring, thus cutting down cooking time significantly.
