Rice processing and handling technologies
1989
El-Amir, M.R. (Rice Technology and Training Center, Alexandria (Egypt))
The rice milling industry in Egypt was nationalized in 1962. Following a countryside survey soon after, the industry was modernized by phasing out obsolete units and replacing them with up-to-date efficient units to handle increased production and to reduce losses during storage and milling. Current and future strategies are outlined for improving storage condition, testing quality and purity of rice received; installing modern equipment for shelling, drying, sieving, and whitening of rice, especially the new high-yielding and long-grain types, and expanding use of electronic sorting equipment. New ways of using milling by-products, such as brokens, husks and bran, are being introduced. The Rice Technology and Training Center in Alexandria [Egypt] plays an important role in the modernization process, with research backup and industrial extension programs.
