Our History

Why Choose Us — A 25-Year Specialist

  • 25 years focused on rice-milling machinery, serving 2,000+ domestic rice factories, including regional leaders such as XX Rice Mill and YY Grain Group.

  • Engineered for China’s diverse varieties—Northeast japonica to Southern indica—with a crushed rice rate ~1.5% lower than the industry average.

  • Built for reliability and long service life in real-world conditions.

Company Overview — Practical Manufacturing in Danyang

Founded in 1999 in Danyang, Jiangsu, Starlight operates a 50,000㎡ production workshop beside National Highway 312. We welcome factory visits—10 minutes by taxi—to see open workshops where belts, bearings, and hammers speak for our craft.
“As one visitor put it: This factory looks unimpressive, but its machines last a decade with minimal repairs.”

Our Philosophy — Partnering with Rice Processors

Customer Priority

  • 5-year warranty (vs. industry ~3 years).

  • Transparent pricing and lifetime spare-parts supply.

Practical Innovation

  • Anti-Clog Feeding System: reduces blockage incidents by ~90%.

  • “Dumbbell-Style” Control Panel: large dials and clear visual icons for non-technical operators.

Development Timeline

1999 — Starlight is founded (Danyang, Jiangsu).

  • Begins as a workshop focused exclusively on rice-milling machinery.

2000 — First manual rice mill (10 t/day).

  • Built in a rented 200㎡ space; establishes our hands-on, practical engineering approach.

2005 — Standardized production (50 t/day).

  • Introduces stamping machines for consistency and scale across key components.

2010 — Patented “Dual-Layer Vibrating Screen.”

  • Lowers crushed rice rate to ~3.8%, improving yield and reducing reprocessing.

2018 — Durability upgrade in core wear parts.

  • Adopts German-made screens with ~12-month lifespan (vs. industry ~3 months), accepting ~30% higher cost to improve uptime and total cost of ownership.

2024 — Diesel-Electric Hybrid Rice Mill.

  • Customized for mountainous regions with unstable power, ensuring continuous operation and consistent output quality.

Today & What’s Next

We continue to refine yield, energy efficiency, and uptime through practical engineering and field feedback. Our priorities:

  • Further reduce broken and reprocessing rates across grain types.

  • Extend component life and simplify daily maintenance.

  • Support customers with training, remote diagnostics, and planned parts supply.
