Mypictureday : Rice Milling Service

The photographs below is my submission for mypictureday contest in which initiated by @timsaid. the photographs describe about Home to Home Rice Milling Service.

Generallly, it is known that the people of Indonesia in majority consume rice as main food ingredients. therefore many Indonesian people who work as rice farmers. The Rice that's produced for personal consumption or for sale. The photos I showed in this post is an innovation in the rice milling service that I met in pariaman district, west sumatera, Indonesia. It's a three-wheeled motor with a rice grinding machine as a driver and simultaneously as a machine used for rice grinders. the form is as follows:

and the Machine as follows:

conventionally, farmers bring their crops of rice to the rice milling center here called "heuller". to get the service farmers have to remove the cost of transport from the rice barn to heler then from heler to their home. but with this service, they help to reduce operational costs.
Here's how this machine operates:

Rice is fed from the top, then automatically milled by the machine

The operator set the rice down to the machine

Rice ready to be consumed out of the bottom funnel

For the cost of this milling service, usually for one sack of rice is paid with one "sukek" of rice or 1.5 kilograms or in accordance with the bargaining made by the service provider with the owner of the rice.

Once done, they move on to find other customers
