The equipment is a continuous conveyor with a facility for open steaming into the chamber. A water inlet is provided through a flow meter to add a measured quantity of water during processing. The chamber is steam jacketed for additional heating. A variable speed drive is used to vary the residence time of cooking. A rotary valve is fixed at the inlet end to control the material feed rate. The conveyor speed and the rotary valve speed are matched with socket and chain drive. A stationery water draining device having a stainless steel trough, stainless steel and the nylon sieving screen is installed at the discharge end of the machine, which largely helps quick separation of water from cooked grains
