How can paddy quality be improved before it reaches the mill? Good variety 品種好 Good plant management 種植管理要好 Good Harvest time 適時收割，不過青或過熟 Dry immediately 搶鮮乾燥，避免長時間堆存濕穀(產生黃麴毒素) Reduce breakage rate 減少碎米 Good drying technology 好的乾燥技術 good dryer 好的乾燥機 Good Moisture control Good storage 理想的儲存方式( 12℃~15℃低溫儲存倉)

80% of moisture is exhausting from embryo. Without good drying technology and tempering, it will result in more brokeage rices, and then losing money

Brokeage Rice Broken Rice = lose $$$$

What is the cheapest grain dryer? SUNCUE Broken rice producer What is the cheapest grain dryer: To produce the highest selling price of grains and seeds & to bring the biggest profit to buyer. What is the expensive grain dryer: To result in high broken rice, and poor selling price of grains or seeds. 烘出的穀物都是胴裂米及碎米，賣價只有良質米的數分之一，就是最貴的乾燥機。 烘出的穀物及種子賣價最高，利潤最大，才是最便宜的乾燥機。

Advantage of using grain dryer Solar Drying (Sun dry) SUNCUE grain dryer Weather Sunny day (only day time) Anytime (24hrs) Space On tons need 1000m2 1000m2 can have 1000 tons capacity per day Loading& discharging Put on the ground by manpower Automatically by Bucket elevator and chain conveyor Laborer 10 to 50 persons； very difficult to manage 1 person, easy to manage Drying time One two days 10 to 12 hours /batch Temp. of grain Over 40oC Below 38oC Moisture content Uneven, Stir by labor Uniform Broken rate Very High Low Rain spoilage At least 20% None 1.Uneven moisture rate is not good for storage 2.Grains should be collect before raining or night time. 3.Over dry will cause weight loss and high brokerage rate 1.Automatic circulation, ensure even moisture 2.Clean paddy with less impurities 3.Moisture can be controlled properly 4.Grain quality is unformed form the 1st batch to 1000th batches.

Poor storage condition, result in spoil paddy Poor storage = lose investment

result in uneven moisture rate Bad drying, result in uneven moisture rate Spoiled rice resulted by uneven mositure rate

result in low selling price Bad drying, result in low selling price Poor drying Good drying

Why need a dryer? Timely drying will ensure fresh, healthy and live rice Even moisture rate will reduce the yellowish rice and weight lost. Moisture control by computer Low temperature drying to reduce brokeage rate Enhance the milling rate To get better selling price : with a good dryer, you can storage paddy first and then mill & sell it when it is at the best price.

Yellowish rice without dryer Normal white rice Yellow rice with Afflotoxine

Good Dryer 1.Ensure best grain quality 5.Multiple Safety devices 2.Most Valuable Dryer (Cheap) 4.Easy operation Easy Maintain 3.Lowest drying cost
