UZWIL, SWITZERLAND — Tan Long, a leading Vietnamese rice producer, has selected Bühler to supply its new rice mill in Vietnam.

“We know the Bühler team has local service engineers ready to support us and a strong presence with their factory in Long An,” said Chanh Trung Nguyen with Tan Long.

The new facility will be an 80 tonne-per-hour (tph) paddy-to-rice milling plant, including all equipment and auxiliaries. Automatic scales at various points will provide Tan Long with real-time data and reports from the plant’s control system.

When the Tan Long plant is commissioned in early 2020, it will be Vietnam’s highest-capacity rice mill and one of the most modern mills in southeast Asia.
