METAL MESH HAVING RICE-POLISHING FUNCTION AND RICE MILL COMPRISING SAME

摘要

In general, rice is processed in the following processes: rice procured from paddy fields is processed into brown rice through a dehusking process (operation of removing husks from rice); the brown rice is processed into white rice (simply referred to as rice) through a whitening process (operation of removing surface layers from the brown rice); and the rice is supplied to consumers. The machine used for the whitening process (that is, machine for processing brown rice into white rice) is referred to as a "rice mill". Existing whitening technologies for white rice processing commonly use friction after grinding. More specifically, small scratches are made on brown rice grains, which are then processed by causing friction against each other, and white rice is produced by treating surfaces of the white rice grains in a wet polishing type (three-consecutive-step rice-polishing processing technology). The present invention relates to a metal mesh having a rice-polishing function and a rice mill. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technology wherein, in connection with a cutting-type rice mill, a polishing metal mesh is coupled to the rear end of a rice-polishing metal mesh coupled to the outside of a rice-polishing blade of an existing rice mill, thereby developing a rice mill metal mesh having a rice-polishing function and a rice mill comprising same, which are aimed at performing a rice-milling function and dry rice-polishing function through a single process, thereby producing high-quality rice used as a staple food.
