FOTMA designs and manufactures the most comprehensive range of milling machines, processes and instrumentation for the rice sector. This equipment encompasses cultivation, harvesting, storage, primary and secondary processing of varieties of rice produced throughout the world.
The latest development in rice milling technology is the FOTMA New Tasty White Process (NTWP), which is a breakthrough in the production of rinse-free rice of enhanced quality in terms of both taste and appearance. The rice processing plant and associated FOTMA machinery is seen below.
The FOTMA Paddy Cleaner is an all-purpose separator designed for the efficient separation of large coarse material and small fine materials such as grit during the cereal cleaning process. The Cleaner can be adapted for use as a Silo Intake Separator and is also compatible with an Aspirator unit or with a Hopper at the stock outlet.
The FOTMA Destoner separates stones and heavy impurities from grains, utilizing bulk density differences. Rigid, heavy-duty construction with thicker steel plates and a sturdy frame ensures long life. This is the ideal machine for separating stones from grains in an efficient, trouble-free manner.
FOTMA has incorporated its unique technologies into the new Paddy Husker for superior performance.
The FOTMA Paddy Separator is an oscillation-type paddy separator with a very high sorting performance and an easy maintenance design. All varieties of rice such as long grain, medium grain and short grain can be sorted easily and accurately. It separates a mixture of paddy and brown rice into three distinct classes: paddy mixture of paddy and brown rice, and brown rice. To be sent to a husker, back to the paddy separator and to a rice whitener, respectively.
Rotary Sifter:
The FOTMA Rotary Sifter incorporates a completely new design with many first-time features developed out of years of experience and improving techniques. The machine can sift milled rice efficiently and accurately into 2 – 7 grades: large impurities, head rice, mixture, large brokens, medium brokens, small brokens, tips, bran, etc.
The FOTMA Rice Polisher cleans the surface of rice, significantly enhancing the quality of finished products. The machine has achieved an excellent reputation in many countries for its high performance and for the innovations which have been incorporated over the past 30 years.
Vertical Rice Polisher:
The FOTMA Vertical Rice Polisher series of vertical friction rice whitening machines incorporates the most advanced technologies available and has proved to be superior to competitive machine in rice mills throughout the world. The versatility of the VBF for milling rice of all degrees of whiteness with minimum brokens makes it the ideal machine for modern rice mills. It’s processing capability ranges from all kinds of rice (long, medium, and short) to other cereal grains such as maize.
The FOTMA Vertical Abrasive Whitener range of machines incorporate the most advanced techniques of vertical milling and has been proven to be superior to similar machines in rice mills throughout the world. The versatility of the FOTMA machines for milling rice of all degrees of whiteness with the minimum brokens makes it the ideal machine for modern rice mills.
The FOTMA Thickness Grader was developed for the most efficient separation of broken and immature kernels from rice and wheat. The screens are selectable from a wide range of available slot sizes.
Length Grader:
The FOTMA Length Grader separates one or two kinds of broken or shorter grains from whole grain by length. Broken grain or shorter grain which is more than half of the whole grain in length cannot be separated using a sieve or thickness/width grader.
Color Sorter:
The FOTMA Color Sorter inspection machine rejects foreign materials, off-color and other bad product that are mixed in with grains of rice or wheat. Using lightning and high-resolution cameras, the software identifies defective product and ejects the “rejects” by using small air nozzles at high velocities.
