Rice with 10-year shelf life
In an ever-changing world, having a reliable food stock is essential. Our equipment is suitable for national food stocks to extend the shelf life of rice up to 10 years and preserve it in full, without loss or waste. An exceptionally long shelf life is ensured by insect control and the destruction of pathogens and mycotoxins.
Our company offers complexes to produce the extended shelf life rice to commercial enterprises. Having such complexes you will have a competitive advantage, differentiate your product and retain leading positions in the local and global rice markets.
Our equipment integrates seamlessly into any production process without requiring a plant shutdown, allowing it to be installed at any operating facility.
During installation, the complex's conveyor is connected with the customer's conveyor system.

PRODUCTION OF RICE IRRADIATION COMPLEXES
Ionizing radiation (E-beam and X-Ray) generated by electron accelerators is used for phytosanitary treatment of food products.
E-beam/X-Ray penetrate the product and effectively eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens and parasites to required limits by inducing breaks in their DNA.

HOW IS RICE STERILIZED TO EXTEND ITS SHELF LIFE?
Rice is processed with ionizing radiation (E-beam/X-Ray) in addition to specific techniques.
An important factor in ensuring long shelf life is to process the packed rice as early as possible. The earlier the packaged product is sterilized, the earlier the insect pest reproduction process stops, thereby extending rice shelf life.
To extend rice shelf life:
- up to 5 years it should be sterilized in insect-proof packages, provided that the humidity level in the warehouse is 13-14%.
- up to 8 years it should be sterilized in oxygen- and water-proof packages.
- up to 10 years rice should be packed, using inert gas, into the oxygen- and water-proof packages with further vacuuming and sterilizing.
BENEFITS OF RICE STERILIZATION USING COMPLEXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS
No residual radiation in sterilized rice, which is confirmed by FAO/IAEA.
Reducing rice losses and increasing sales.
