Why Recycle Rice Husk?

Rice is grown in a large number of South Asian countries as a food grain. The rice husk (or rice hull) is the protective covering of grains which is light in weight and prevents damage to the grain.

During the process of milling rice, the rice husk is removed. It is a bulky material and often forms approximately 20% by volume of the harvested rice. Instead of being discarded, rice husk can be recycled and used for a wide variety of applications, saving money, and generate a considerable revenue stream for recyclers.

One of the main applications of rice hull is in construction, where it is used for making building material like insulation or particleboard or is mixed with cement. In some countries like Myanmar it is also used as a source of renewable energy.

Due to the high silica content of husk, termites are less likely to attack the boards containing rice husk. Increasingly rice husk is used as an alternative to wooden chips since it is cheaper.

A proper rice husk baling machine is a must-have piece of equipment and wise investment for rice millers or recyclers to compress and package the bulky husks into dense square bales which not only become easier to handle, store and transport, but also helps maximize revenue.

What is Makabale's Baling Solution?

Makabale is a known manufacturer of quality and long-lasting rice husk baler machines which combine compressing and packaging in one machine. These rice husk balers produce high dense and rectangular packaged bales that bring a number of advantages for customers:

  • Easy to handle, stack, store, and transport
  • Save storage space, size reduction means less space occupation
  • Save cost and increase profit
  • Convenient to sell on market
  • Easy and convenient to calculate the usage
  • Packaged and sealed bales have no worry of getting deteriorate
  • The bales can be easily broken up after removing package when in use
  • The rice husks' original form won't be destroyed after baling
  • Fire risk reduced

These rice husk balers can be supplied with a plastic bag sealing machine which is used to seal the final bale automatically instead of manpower, as well as conveyor for automatic feeding.

Additionally, to bale rice husk, hopper with dust cover is available to reduce flyaway dust, which can keep a clean and safe working environment for you.

Recommended Heavy Duty Rice Husk Balers

Makabale Heavy Duty Rice Husk Baler machine series is an ideal solution to produce rice husk bales at bale weight of approximately 50lbs (22kg) or above. The material feeding process can be done either in a manual way or through an automatic conveyor to maximize your output and efficiency.

CARDBOARD BALER / MILL SIZE BALER

HEAVY DUTY BAGGING BALER / HAYLAGE BALER

  • Primarily for loose and small material

Rice Husk Baler / Compression Bagger Frequently Asked Questions

What Baler Size Should I Choose to Make Rice Hull Bale?

Rice husk is a very small and hard material. Its bulk density is around 100kg/m3 (dried uncompressed) which is relatively higher than other similar material like wood shavings. Because of its material characteristics, it will generate big frictional force with the baling chamber’s inner wall when pushing forward by the ram. So you need a heavy-duty compression bagger to produce rice hull bales and need a model with higher pressing force like 60ton or 80ton.

How to Operate the Rice Husk Baler?

The whole baling line is PLC controlled, designed on ease of use and streamlined operation. The material will be continuously fed into the baler by synchronized conveyor, then the machine will automatically compress the rice husk into dense block and then pushed out into the pre-set bag by the ejection ram. Then you can remove the bagged rice hull bale away for sealing.
