Shipment of Model 20 Combination Rice Mills with Crushing System Delivered to Ghana
A Ghanaian agribusiness has successfully received our Model 20 Combination Rice Mills configured with an integrated crushing system. This delivery showcases our end-to-end approach—from FAT verification and export packing to documentation, logistics, and commissioning support—ensuring the machines arrive protected, complete, and ready for rapid start-up.
Project scope
The buyer required compact, space-efficient lines suitable for small-to-mid commercial mills and cooperatives, with an added crushing system to process by-products (bran/husk/broken rice) into uniform particles for feed or biomass use. Each Model 20 line integrates cleaning, dehusking, separation, whitening/polishing, grading, light sorting, and downstream crushing, targeting stable head-rice yield and predictable kWh/ton.
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
Before packing, each unit completed a documented FAT mirroring West African grain profiles. We verified:
-
Throughput stability (t/h) and milling recovery rate
-
Broken percentage, whiteness/clarity, and sorter rejection accuracy
-
Sieve efficiency, husk/bran separation, and polisher uniformity
-
Crusher output consistency (target particle size, throughput, and motor load)
Recipe presets and quick-change parameters (roll gaps, screens, air volume, polish time) were saved to enable fast switches between paddy types.
Export packing & logistics
To withstand sea transit and transshipment handling, we used moisture-barrier wrapping, VCI rust inhibitors on exposed metal, corner protection, desiccant packs, and reinforced fumigation-free wooden crates with steel strapping. Moving parts were locked and tagged; crates carry gross/net weights, center-of-gravity icons, and handling notes.
The shipment moved on a consolidated booking to simplify customs clearance and on-site staging. We provided crate photos (interior/exterior) and insurance records for traceability, along with ETD/ETA to coordinate offloading equipment and site prep in Ghana.
Documentation & compliance
Each machine ships with a full documentation pack: user and maintenance manuals, lubrication charts, wiring diagrams, packing list, commercial invoice, conformity basis, and spare-parts list. Serial-number traceability, torque records for critical assemblies, and calibration logs for key gauges are included to streamline future maintenance and audits.
Commissioning & training
Our commissioning plan covers foundation/power checks, alignment and leveling, safe start-up, and recipe tuning to local paddy. Operator training focuses on daily/weekly maintenance, roll and screen calibration, in-process quality checks (head-rice yield, whiteness), and safe crushing operations (screen changes, sieve checks, guarding). Remote diagnostics are enabled for rapid triage, with escalation to on-site service by arrangement.
Performance targets & follow-up
Post-start, we will review KPIs at 30 and 90 days: milling recovery rate, broken %, throughput stability, kWh/ton, sorter rejection accuracy, and crusher output granularity. If seasonal paddy or by-product characteristics shift, we will adjust polishing profiles, defect libraries, and crusher screens, documenting changes for repeatability.
Outcome
The Model 20 lines with crushing systems arrived on schedule, fully protected and supported by clear documentation and a commissioning plan. This project underscores our commitment to deliver not only machines, but reliable performance—turning by-products into value while achieving the head-rice yield and cost-per-ton targets our Ghanaian customer set.
