Two types of blending are applicable for the production of fortified rice – continuous blending & batch blending. Continuous Blending: Applicable for large scale blending of the fortified rice. The batch blending involves the simultaneous addition of fortified rice kernels and the regular rice. A typical continuous blending assembly involves bins/hoppers for fortified rice kernels and normal rice, bucket elevators for transport, blending, air locks/ow balancers to regulate the ow or fortified Rice Kernels/Regular Rice. Batch Blending: A batch blending assembly usually involves a bin for the fortified rice kernels, through which the kernels are dispensed into the blending unit where the normal rice and kernels are blended.
