Rice Mill Plant Price Guide

Factors that have an impact on price of rice mill plant include — capacity of plant, level of automation, material used, and reputation of manufacturer. You will find a wide range of prices for the following types of commercial rice mills on Tradeindia —A major cost factor when it comes to price of rice mill plants is the level of automation. The least expensive means of purchasing a plant are the manual/semi-automatic plants relative to fully automatic. For example, a 5 HP semi-automatic machine can be purchased for as low as a 149,000 whereas a fully automatic plant of the same capacity runs upwards to a 500,000. The type of material used in construction of your plant makes a big difference in price too.Stainless material is typically more expensive than regular iron plants but have a longer lifespan. Therefore, food grade processes commonly use these materials.

Pricing for the plants is very sensitive to the rate of increase in output. For example, changing from an hourly output from one ton per hour to five tons per hour could increase your plant pricing by four to six times. Any additional features that you add, such as computerized controls or PLCs, color sorters, de-stoners, bran tip filters, and polishing machines will further increase the cost of your plant. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you make sure you assess which additional features you will actually need for your production when acquiring your new plant.

Because a vast majority of the products listed on Tradeindia offer "Get Best Price", "Get Latest Price" or similar statements, there may be a lot of room to negotiate price, especially if you are ordering a bulk quantity or if you are placing repeat orders.

How to Choose a Rice Mill Plant

If you would like assistance finding the right rice mill plant for your needs please contact us or feel free to browse our website for additional information.

Step 1 – Estimate the amount of paddy that will be processed each day. A 500 kg/hour mill should work for 10 acres of paddy, while commercial milling setups usually require machines between 1 and 5 tons/hour.

Step 2 – Select how automated you want the system to be. If you have access to skilled labor and do not have a large budget, a semi-automated system would work well. If your goal is to decrease labor costs and ensure consistency in quality, then investing in a fully automated system will provide the best return on investment.

Step 3 – When evaluating the quality of the materials used in the milling plant, keep in mind that stainless steel has a higher cost than mild steel but provides better durability and sanitation, which is critical if you plan on selling branded and packaged rice.

Step 4 – Take into consideration your power source. Most industrial plants will run on three-phase 440V power, so make sure that you have three-phase power available before you purchase your milling equipment. If you purchase Aatomize's 5HP milling machine, it can be run off a single-phase power source.

Step 5 – When purchasing milling equipment, always check for after-sales service and warranty (most equipment will be warranted for one year). To ensure that you are getting a quality product, consider only searching for items from Trusted Sellers or Premium Sellers on Tradeindia; any company that is certified on that site has passed a quality background check. Companies that have been in business for many years and are located in cities such as Chennai, Delhi, and Kolkata typically have the strongest after-sales support networks.

Step 6 – In addition to the milling equipment, you will also need other equipment to start your milling business. The complete system to produce white rice will include a paddy cleaner, destoner, husker, whitener/polisher, color sorter, bran separator and bucket elevators.Combining the plant's packages into one is usually more economical and easier for the user.

Step 7 - Know what your budget and return on investment (ROI), e.g. to get a reference for a 1 ton/hr plant, it costs around a 9 -10 lakhs. If you charge a 500 per quintal for milling, with 8 hours of operation for 25 days, the projected earnings per month would be around a 1 lakh, which equates to 10 -12 months for the approval.
