Sir can you share the specs of your electric? How much po ung installation? Kailangan pa yan ng Transformer diba? How much po lahat sir?
Thank you

Yung katabing farm namin sa Negros, meron "Satake" brand na single pass rice mill, it is being driven by a 4DR5 Mitsubishi engine.

Meron din sila yung luma style "de cono" na puro kahoy (I'm pretty sure you guys know what Im talking about), it is powered by a single cylinder Blackstone diesel.

Medu maingay po ba from your distance po?

Thank you for sharing.

Satake brand is a good brand Abcede i think they are one of the pioneer ng single pass dito sa atin.

Yes, both are still in operation. There are some customers who prefer their palay being milled by the Satake, while meron din ibang customer na ang preference nila is ang "de-cono"

I do not think its that noisy, medyo malayo sila sa amin actually.

A quick study i did before, yung single pass has a recovery ratio of 50-52kilos for every 100 kilos of palay. With multi pass(big Ricemills) the recovery is around 63 - 65 kilos of rice per 100 kilos of palay.

Yes, the multi-pass rice mill or the older wooden de-cono types are more forgiving (gentler) on palay that has a bit of moisture left.

Yung one pass rice mill, durog agad ang palay.

It's a bit Risk of Investment but i still try, base from what i have now i will slowly adjust or some kind of fine tuning to maximize things. Looking forward for any upgrade and modernization.
But for now i will start with this. whole/broken rice doesn't matter as long as it is white rice and those low-middle people are my target, i will be selling it as an affordable to anyone but still the profit is there. Attachment 35068
