200 TPD Rice Mill Turnkey Project
Order to Commissioning in 8 Months · Southeast Asia · Delivered 2024
AmGrainTech delivered a 200 TPD turnkey rice mill in Southeast Asia in 2024 — from order to commissioning in 8 months. The full-cycle package included plant layout, equipment, installation supervision, commissioning and training of 15 local operators who now run the plant independently. The client is already planning a second line.

Technology: A Complete Plant for a First-Time Miller
The client had no rice-mill operating experience — so the project was engineered to remove every capability gap, from tropical durability to local-language operation:
Tropical-Hardened Equipment
All equipment adapted to hot, humid conditions: enhanced anti-corrosion coating on metal structures plus reinforced electrical systems built for tropical loads and moisture.
Central PLC with Local-Language Interface
The central control system runs a local-language interface, so trained local operators manage the full line — cleaning through packaging — without language barriers.
Full-Cycle Skill Transfer
15 local operators were trained through commissioning — installation supervision, process operation, and maintenance — leaving the client independent from day one.
Equipment List
| Section | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Cleaning | Pre-cleaner / Destoner / Magnetic separator |
| Husking | MLGQ pneumatic husker |
| Whitening & polishing | MNML vertical sand-roller rice mill / MPG flexible polisher |
| Sorting | CCD color sorter |
| Packaging | Automatic packaging and weighing system |
| Control | Central control system (local-language PLC interface) |
Project Background, Challenge & Solution
Client Background: A Southeast Asian investor planned to build a modern rice-processing facility from the ground up, requiring equipment that could operate reliably in hot, humid tropical conditions and support full local operational capability.
Challenge: The tropical climate imposes additional anti-corrosion requirements on electrical systems and metal structures; the client lacked rice-mill operating experience and needed a complete turnkey service from design through training.
Solution: AmGrainTech provided a complete turnkey export solution: plant layout design → equipment supply (full process: cleaning, husking, whitening, polishing, color sorting, packaging) → installation supervision → commissioning → training of 15 operators. All equipment is adapted to tropical conditions, with a central PLC control system (local-language interface).
Result: Full-cycle delivery from order to commissioning was completed within 8 months. The 200 TPD capacity was stably achieved, with a head rice yield of 68% and successful production of export-standard rice. The 15 trained local operators manage the plant independently. The client is already planning a second production line.
Project Outcomes
Delivery & Commissioning Timeline
Turnkey layout engineered for the site and tropical conditions
Full process line manufactured and factory-tested (ISO 9001)
Supervised installation; line commissioned within 8 months of order
15 operators trained; client runs the plant independently
What "Turnkey" Actually Covers in the Tropics
- Corrosion before commissioning, not after — enhanced coating and reinforced electricals were specified at design stage for hot, humid duty.
- Language is part of the machine — a local-language PLC interface turns a sophisticated line into something the client's own team can drive.
- Training is the deliverable — 15 operators trained to independence is what makes the plant productive after our engineers fly home.
- Speed compounds value — 8 months from order to commissioning means the client catches the harvest season instead of waiting a year.
Client Evidence
“From signing to first production took just eight months. The engineers trained 15 of our operators hands-on until they could run the line entirely on their own.”
