Rice Conveyance
Long grain rice all the way to rice flour can be challenging applications for some conveyors. MPE created the Chain-Vey to gently handle many of the most fragile and abrasive applications that—before Chain-Vey—left rice processors with limited options. Chain-Vey offers a tubular, dust-tight drag conveyor design built with an unbreakable chain and robust array of options tailored to each customer's needs.
High Capacities with Near-Zero Breakage
Chain-Vey has become one of the most sought rice conveyors for because of its near-zero product breakage, easy cleaning, industry-leading reliability, and quiet, efficient operation.
Rice System Equipment and Designs
Sometimes rice processors need unique systems that only MPE has the expertise and design know-how to get it done right the first time. From unloading, to blanching, to packaging—equipment upgrades to greenfield projects—MPE is your partner is created the best custom process systems in the world.
