Procurement Process
Procuring rice forms an important phase of the export. The procurement requires a thorough and an appropriate understanding of the rice market. It also requires the exporter to be equipped with the farmers as well as the chain of distributors. We, are associated with mills who are connected with a chain of farmers who have been farming rice since decades and are hence, well acquainted with rice.
Processing and Milling
Rice in its natural form is inedible. Therefore, milling and processing of the rice is required for attaining the desired quality. In the rice mills, the rice is processed to make it polished and edible. The main goal of milling is the removal of Brans and Hulls from the rice so that its consumption becomes possible. Rice is the basic primary product obtained from paddy after paddy is processed. This rice is reprocessed for obtaining various secondary and tertiary products. Here are some of the operations done to create the final product.
Drying of the Rice at Drying Plant
The exposure of paddy to gradual drying processes and controlled temperatures reduce the unneeded moisture prevalent in the paddy. For ensuring the drying of the paddy rice appropriately, the drying plants comprise of fully mechanized and automatic gradual drying systems having on line sensors for controlling the temperatures. The technological solutions ensure every measure for avoiding bacterial infection, fermentation or fungal infection so that the hygiene and the natural aroma remians intact.
Parboiling
Exposure of rice grains to steam for removal of Hull and Bran layer is known as parboiling. Though this process appears to be a very simple process yet the taste as well as the aroma gets hampered if the normal water is used for steaming. The mills have a committed parboiling plant furnished with soaking bins that are specially designed and possess sensor based controller for handling the temperature of the water. Clarity required-taste and aroma get hampered because of the usage of the normal water-should it be usage of the water with proper temperature because the next point talks about the temperature of the water.
Milling
The last and the final step of the overall procedure is the milling process. In this step the seed grains are made to get exposed to varied sophisticated machines like magnets, paddy separators, de-huskers, graders, precision sizers, de-stoners, pre-cleaners, etc. Our aim is to provide you with the rice of exceptional quality, well refined and nutritious having perfect aroma. This further ensures having environmental friendly environment that is completely protected against unexpected and unforeseen elements.
Pre-Cleaning
Removal of all foreign materials like straw, soil, weed seeds when it comes into the impurities and unfilled grains from the paddy
Removing The Husk
Removal of husk from paddy by suction method. By separating the husk from coarse rice, brown rice is produced.
Whitening
Removing all or part of the bran layer and germ from brown rice
Parboiling (Optional)
Helps in improving the nutritional quality by gelatinization of starch inside the rice grain
Paddy Separation
Separating the unhusked paddy from Brown Rice
Polishing
Improvement of the appearance of the milled rice through removal of the remaining Bran particles and polishing of the exterior of the milled kernel
De-Stone
Process to separate small stones from paddy
Sorting & Grading
Separation of discolored and large and small breaks from the head rice concept clarity is required
Weighing & Bagging
Preparation of the milled Rice for transporting to the customer.
