The Pneumatic Gate for Parboiling Tank from Garten was specifically designed to optimize the soaking stage of the hydrothermal process. In parboiling, rice goes through soaking, gelatinization, and drying before dehusking, and any inefficiency in these stages compromises the nutritional value and final quality of parboiled rice. For this reason, precise flow control is essential, especially during the discharge of soaking tanks.

 

The gate’s engineering was developed to prevent grain buildup between articulated areas, ensuring continuous and smooth flow. Its Pneumatic On/Off model, with a cylindrical opening, is ideal for releasing soaked rice, ensuring uniform flow without obstructions and with total operational reliability. The robust sealing prevents the passage of water, liquids, and grains, ensuring safe handling and full compliance with hygiene requirements.

 

Built in stainless steel, the gate offers high durability, low maintenance requirements, and fully automated operation—facilitating integration with industrial automation systems and reducing manual intervention. It is a solution designed to maintain the efficiency of the soaking tank, preventing losses, delays, and contamination while ensuring maximum quality in the final product.
