Rice Mill Output Calculator

How to Use the Rice Mill Calculator

Step 1: Enter the Paddy Quantity

Add the total quantity of paddy to be milled, in kilograms.

Step 2: Enter the Milling Recovery Percentage

Add the expected rice recovery percentage. A typical recovery figure of around 66 percent is filled in by default, but this can vary by paddy variety and moisture content.

Step 3: Enter the Mill Capacity

Add the processing capacity of your rice mill in kilograms per hour, as given in the machine specification.

Step 4: Calculate the Output

Select Calculate to see the estimated rice output, remaining bran and husk quantity, and the time required for milling.

Example Rice Mill Calculation

Suppose a farmer is milling:

• Paddy quantity: 1,000 kg
• Milling recovery: 66 percent
• Mill capacity: 200 kg per hour

The estimated result is:

• Rice output: approximately 660 kg
• Bran and husk: approximately 340 kg
• Time needed: 5 hours

How the Rice Mill Calculator Helps Farmers

Estimates Rice Output Before Selling

Knowing the approximate rice output helps farmers plan sales quantity and storage before milling is completed.

Helps Plan the Milling Schedule

Estimating the time needed for a given paddy quantity makes it easier to plan the day's milling work.

Compares Different Rice Mill Models

Entering different mill capacities, such as for the 6N40 or 6N100, helps compare how long each model would take for the same paddy quantity.

Useful for Custom Milling Businesses

Rice mill operators who process paddy for other farmers can use the calculator to estimate processing time and plan multiple orders.

Adjusts for Different Recovery Rates

Since recovery percentage can vary by paddy variety, the calculator allows this figure to be edited for a more accurate estimate.

Plan Your Milling Output in Seconds

Enter your paddy quantity, expected recovery percentage and mill capacity to estimate the rice output and milling time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rice milling recovery percentage?

Milling recovery is the percentage of rice obtained from a given quantity of paddy, with the remainder being bran and husk.
For example, at 66 percent recovery, 1,000 kg of paddy yields approximately 660 kg of rice.

How much rice do you get from 100 kg of paddy?

The output depends on the milling recovery percentage. At a typical recovery of 66 percent, 100 kg of paddy yields approximately 66 kg of rice, with the remaining 34 kg as bran and husk.

How long does it take to mill 1,000 kg of paddy?

The time depends on the mill's processing capacity. Divide the paddy quantity by the capacity per hour.
For example, at a capacity of 200 kg per hour, milling 1,000 kg of paddy takes approximately 5 hours.

Does paddy variety affect the recovery percentage?

Yes. Different paddy varieties, along with moisture content and grain quality, can affect the actual recovery percentage obtained during milling.

What is the difference between the 6N40 and 6N100 rice mill capacity?

The 6N40 and 6N100 are different Almighty rice mill models with different processing capacities. Enter the actual capacity of your specific model for an accurate time estimate.

What can be done with the bran and husk left after milling?

Rice bran and husk are commonly used as cattle feed, fuel or for further processing, depending on local practice and available demand.
