Rice Thresher
The Supreme rice thresher is built specifically for paddy, which grips its grain more tightly than wheat but breaks more easily once freed. Manufactured in Faisalabad by Supreme Agri Implements, it threshes and cleans paddy in one operation while protecting the grain quality that determines milling yield.

What does a rice thresher do?
Paddy presents the opposite problem to wheat. The grain is held firmly on the panicle, so it needs sufficient beating action to come free — but the husked kernel inside is brittle, and any grain cracked during threshing will shatter again in the mill. Head rice recovery, which is what a rice mill actually pays for, is set in large part at the thresher.
This machine uses a threshing action and cleaning arrangement matched to paddy rather than a wheat drum pressed into service. Straw is handled differently too: rice straw is tougher, wetter and more fibrous than wheat straw, and will wrap and choke a machine not designed for it.
Paddy is usually threshed at higher moisture than wheat, which affects both separation and how quickly the crop must move to drying. Feeding the machine at a steady rate rather than in surges gives the most consistent sample.

- Head rice recovery is decided at threshing — gentler settings pay for themselves at the mill.
- Rice straw is tough and wraps easily; check and clear the drum area more often than you would on wheat.
- Move threshed paddy to drying promptly, as it comes off the machine at a higher moisture than wheat.
