As a leading Chinese food processing equipment manufacturer, we provide a next-generation Unmanned Intelligent Rice Production Line, designed to achieve fully automated rice production with minimal human intervention. This system integrates robotic handling, AI control, smart sensors, PLC automation, and hygienic stainless-steel engineering—ideal for central kitchens, ready-meal factories, airline catering, and large-scale food manufacturers.

⭐ Core Features of the Unmanned Intelligent Rice Production Line

1. 100% Unmanned Operation – Automated from Start to Finish

The entire workflow is completed automatically:

• Rice receiving & automatic loading

• Smart metering of rice & water

• Gentle rice washing & soaking

• AI-controlled cooking & steaming

• Automatic lid opening/closing

• Robotic pot lifting & transferring

• Automatic pot flipping & rice discharging

• Intelligent pot washing and drying

• CIP cleaning system (optional)

The system allows a single operator to supervise the entire line instead of involving multiple cooks.

2. Robotic Handling System

Industrial-grade robotic arms perform:

• Pot grabbing

• Lifting & transportation

• Lid removal & positioning

• Automatic dumping of cooked rice

• High-temperature & high-speed stable operation

This dramatically reduces labor requirements, improves safety, and ensures consistent quality.

3. AI + PLC Smart Control

The line is equipped with:

• Real-time temperature monitoring

• Automated timing cycle

• Precise water/rice ratio control

• Multi-stage cooking algorithms

• Fault alarm & diagnostics

• Batch data recording and traceability

It ensures each batch of rice achieves the same texture, moisture level, aroma, and quality.

4. Perfect Cooking Quality

The system produces rice that is:

• Bright in color

• Soft and fluffy

• Aromatic

• Uniformly cooked

• No overcooking or undercooking

Suitable for many types of rice: jasmine rice, sushi rice, long-grain rice, sticky rice, basmati rice, and more.

5. Industrial Hygiene & Food Safety

• Full 304/316 stainless steel structure

• Smooth welding & rounded corners

• Meets HACCP, ISO22000, CE

• Optional UV sterilization before filling

• Automated cleaning to prevent contamination

⭐ Production Line Workflow

Rice Loading → Washing → Soaking → Automatic Pot Feeding → Robotic Pot Transport → Cooking → Steaming → Lid Removal → Pot Flipping → Rice Unloading → Pot Washing → Cycle Repeat

The entire process is steady, continuous, and designed for high-volume industrial production.
