Steam boilers for rice and feed mills
Match steam output, fuel handling and dust control to parboiling, drying and conditioning duty.
Fuel handling is part of boiler selection
Rice and feed plants may have access to husk or other solid fuels, but fuel moisture, storage, feeding, ash and particulate handling affect the practicality of the boiler system. Steam demand also changes between soaking, parboiling, drying and conditioner operation.
We compare the process load and available fuel before defining the boiler, grate or burner, draft fans, separator, chimney and feedwater arrangement.
- Applications
- Parboiling, drying and feed conditioning
- Fuel options

01 — 04
Selection sequence
- 01
Define demand
Separate the steam requirements and timings for each mill process.
- 02
Qualify fuel
Review availability, moisture, size, storage, handling and operating labour.
- 03
Select the plant
Match the boiler and combustion system with fans, separation, stack and water support.
- 04
Plan wear parts
Identify fan, grate, refractory, gasket and control items that need a practical spares plan.
