To perform the shelling and/or whitening process, a specially chilled, hard cast iron cylinder is rotated inside a hardened screen. The degree of milling is controlled by:

• The outlet slide, which regulates the time the rice remains in the machine.
• The huller blade, which regulates the severity of the process and is adjustable to suit the variety and condition of the rice being milled, to keep breakage to a minimum.

Polisher
This comprises of an enclosed steel drum with leather thongs attached. The drum rotates inside a perforated screen , the thongs giving the rice an added polish or lustre.

Low Stand
