Steam Rice Cooking Line Product Introduction

The Automatic Steam Rice Cooking Line is designed for industrial-scale steamed rice production with a complete automated processing system. It combines rice washing, soaking, steam cooking, and turnover functions to improve production efficiency and maintain consistent cooking quality.

The production line uses steam heating and PLC control technology to accurately manage temperature and processing time. This helps prevent uneven cooking and ensures stable taste, texture, and appearance of the final rice product.

Built with hygienic stainless steel construction, the equipment is durable, easy to clean, and suitable for food production environments. It is widely applied in central kitchens, catering factories, rice processing plants, and ready meal production lines.

With automated operation, reliable performance, and flexible configuration, the Automatic Steam Rice Cooking Line provides an efficient solution for companies requiring high-volume rice processing.

Main Components

Rice Lifting Machine

Automatically transfers raw rice between different processing stages, reducing manual handling.

Rice Washing Machine

Cleans rice before cooking to remove impurities and improve final product quality.

Soaking Tank

Provides controlled soaking conditions to improve rice cooking performance.

Steam Cooking Machine

Uses steam heating technology to cook rice evenly and efficiently.

Rice Turnover Machine

Transfers cooked rice between processing stages while maintaining product quality.

PLC Control System

Controls the entire production process, including temperature, timing, and operation sequence.

Working principle

The Automatic Steam Rice Cooking Line starts by lifting and washing raw rice, followed by controlled soaking to improve cooking quality.

The soaked rice is automatically transferred to the steam cooking unit, where steam heating cooks the rice evenly under controlled temperature and time settings. After steaming, the turnover system moves the cooked rice to the next processing stage.

The PLC control system coordinates the entire process to achieve automatic, stable, and efficient rice production.

Working Process

The Automatic Steam Rice Cooking Line completes the entire rice cooking process through a series of automated steps, ensuring efficient production and consistent cooking quality.

Step 1 – Rice Feeding and Lifting

Raw rice is automatically transferred into the production line through the rice lifting system, reducing manual handling and improving continuous operation.

Step 2 – Rice Washing

The rice washing machine removes impurities and excess starch from the rice surface, preparing clean rice for the cooking process.

Step 3 – Rice Soaking

The cleaned rice enters the soaking tank, where controlled soaking improves water absorption and helps achieve better cooking texture.

Step 4 – Steam Cooking

The soaked rice is automatically transferred to the steam cooking unit. Steam heating provides uniform temperature distribution and ensures thorough cooking with stable quality.

Step 5 – Rice Turnover and Transfer

After steaming, the cooked rice is transferred by the turnover system for further processing, cooling, packaging, or distribution.

Step 6 – Automatic Control

The PLC control system manages the complete production process, including operation sequence, cooking time, and temperature parameters, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
