Ethiopia Partnership: From Embassy Talks to Pilot Mills

In May 24, 2024, Starlight joined a bilateral meeting at the Ethiopian Embassy in Beijing to advance agricultural-machinery cooperation. Both sides aligned on a four-pillar plan—technical training, pilot installations, local service & parts, and standards & data—and committed to move from dialogue to an actionable roadmap.

The program sets a 12–18 month timeline with KPIs that matter to owners and lenders (unplanned stops, start-success rate, impurity %, energy per ton), and deploys toolkits tailored to Ethiopian conditions: power-quality & soft-start, “dirty paddy” pre-cleaning, and genset matching. Next steps: select 1–2 pilot mills and stand up local service with stocked spares and response SLAs.

Engineering for Different Grain Types

Optimized ducts and VFD fans reduce kWh/ton while keeping kernels cool and bran discharge clean.

Easy Maintenance

Tool-free doors and quick-change parts shorten stoppages; clear windows and simple PLC alarms speed troubleshooting.

Low Breakage

Gravity-assisted flow and balanced pressure limit mechanical stress, improving whole-grain yield and consistent whiteness.

Energy-Efficient Airflow

Optimized ducts and VFD fans cut kWh/ton while keeping bran discharge clean and cool. Sealed air paths and dust control improve hygiene and extend component life.

Established in 1993

Jiangsu Danyang Xingyao Machinery Co., Ltd. (Starlight Machinery) designs and builds rice-processing systems from intake to grading—huskers, separators, emery & iron-roller whiteners, vertical friction polishers, graders, and integrated/combined mills.

Built in our 50,000㎡ Danyang factory, every module is engineered for high head-rice yield, lower kWh/t, and stable uptime. Since 1999 we’ve served 2,000+ plants, configuring lines by variety, whiteness target, and throughput, from single machines to 30–200 TPD turnkey systems.

Intake & Dehusking

Start with clean, uniform paddy to protect every machine downstream. Our intake solutions remove straw, sand, stones, and light/heavy impurities while stabilizing feed to the husker.

Adjustable air volume, precise sieving, and controlled stratification keep losses low and throughput steady across moisture and variety changes. Dehusking applies gentle, consistent pressure to separate husk efficiently, and paddy–brown separation maintains purity for whitening.

Deploy as standalone units for retrofits or as a coordinated module for new builds to secure higher recovery, lower wear, and predictable daily output.

Whitening & Polishing

Specify the finish you need—export white or local-market sheen—and we configure emery and iron rollers accordingly. Balanced feed, stable negative pressure, and uniform abrasion deliver bright color with fewer broken kernels and lower kWh per ton.

Water-mist or vertical-friction polishing refines surface texture without over-processing, improving appearance and storability. Quick-change screens and wear parts simplify maintenance, while smart controls hold product temperature and whiteness steady through the shift.

From specialty japonica to long-grain indica, the system adapts to variety and capacity targets without redesign.

Grading & Integrated Lines

Accurate sizing locks in price and consistency. Our graders split head rice, brokens, and tips cleanly to meet contract specs and curb rework. For plants that need simplicity and speed to production, our integrated and combined lines package husking, whitening, polishing, and grading into a compact, install-friendly layout.

Proven mechanical design yields high recovery, steady uptime, and competitive energy use even in tough conditions. Configure by variety, target whiteness, and throughput to scale from pilot to commercial. Choose single-frame footprints or combined systems for more capacity with the same gentle handling.
