Rice Husk

Rice husk (also called rice hull) is the hard outer covering of grains of rice. It is separated from the brown rice in rice milling, and actually accounts for 20-25% of the grain’s weight. Annually, more than 130 million tons of rice husks are produced worldwide, which is a lot of wasted material.

But is it waste? Truthfully, it is not. In agricultural industry, rice husk can be processed into animal feed, fertilizer, insecticide, and is an excellent growth medium for mushrooms. In the chemical industry, rice husk is the main raw material for ethanol. In the food industry, after processing, rice husk can be turned into sugar. Besides those uses, rice husk also plays a part in the production of gas, boiler fuel, rice husk board, disposable tableware, and cement. So as you can see, it’s quite useful, and any plant producing rice husks will certainly be interested in turning this waste into profit.

However, rice husks are tiny, and not easily stored or carried. The solution is to crush the husk, and then bag it - which is exactly what a baling machine from Sinobaler can do.

Sinobaler has several solutions for baling and bagging rice husk. Our horizontal and vertical balers have optional bagging features, allowing a bag to be attached to the bale output. This option allows the baler to quickly be turned into the ideal “rice husk baler”, while also handling your other baling needs. The bags are filled by the machine, and hand fastened, making them very easy to handle and ship.

Another solution recently presented itself – baling rice husk into a hard “briquette”. Utilizing moisture and heat, Sinobaler’s briquetting baler turns small substances (like rice husks) into a hard, compressed “briquette” that’s easy to handle, and needs no further packaging.

No matter what your baling needs, Sinobaler has the exact baler to satisfy them all. Contact us today, and we’ll help you find the perfect baling solution for your company.
