Accelerated Aged Rice Parboiling Plant That Saves Months Without Compromising Quality

Traditionally, aging rice takes anywhere between six to eight months. During this period, rice just sits in storage, tying up capital, blocking warehouse space, and adding to operational costs with no immediate returns. Most millers accept this as the cost of doing business because aged rice sells better, cooks better, and has a texture buyers want.

The SKF Accelerated Aged Rice Processing Plant is designed to replicate the effects of natural aging in a fraction of the time. Using controlled steaming, curing, and drying processes, it produces rice that matches the hardness, reduced stickiness, and cooking properties of naturally aged rice. But without locking up your storage and cash flow for half a year.

Instead of waiting 6–8 months for aging, this system produces rice ready for packing and sale within days. The entire process maintains the natural colour, texture, and flavor that aged rice is known for, while improving your production cycle and inventory turnover.

Applications of Steam Parboiling Plant

This plant is ideal for rice millers and processors looking to expand into premium aged rice markets, without increasing warehouse capacity or capital tied up in stock. By accelerating the aging process, you can meet market demand quickly, improve cash rotation, and ensure consistent product quality batch after batch.

How It Works

Raw paddy is first cleaned and prepared before undergoing a carefully controlled steaming process. This step begins gelatinisation and changes starch structure to mimic natural aging. The rice is then transferred to curing chambers where temperature and moisture are precisely maintained, accelerating the internal structural changes that normally take months. Finally, it is dried to reduce moisture to storage-safe levels without affecting grain integrity, leaving you with rice that looks, cooks, and tastes like aged rice – ready to go to market.

With the Accelerated Aged Rice Plant, we give millers a way to deliver premium-quality aged rice without long holding times, storage hassles, or wasted capital – keeping your production fast, reliable, and profitable.
