Our Milling Process

From paddy to perfect rice - our step-by-step premium processing

Paddy Receiving and Inspection

1. Paddy Receiving & Inspection

The process begins with receiving raw paddy rice from farmers. Each batch undergoes quality inspection for moisture content, maturity, and overall condition before being accepted.

  • Moisture content verification (14-18%)
  • Initial quality assessment
  • Lot identification and traceability
Pre-Cleaning Process

2. Pre-Cleaning

Raw paddy undergoes initial cleaning to remove large foreign materials like straw, stones, soil clumps, and metal pieces that could damage equipment in later processing stages.

  • Vibrating screens for debris removal
  • Magnetic separators for metal contaminants
  • Air aspiration for light impurities
Parboiling - Soaking Process

3. Parboiling - Soaking

In the first stage of parboiling, cleaned paddy is soaked in water at controlled temperatures (60-70°C) for 3-4 hours, allowing water to penetrate the grain and begin starch gelatinization.

  • Temperature-controlled water tanks
  • Timed soaking cycles
  • Water quality monitoring
Parboiling - Steaming Process

4. Parboiling - Steaming

Soaked paddy is steamed under pressure to fully gelatinize the starch, which strengthens the grain, reduces breakage during milling, and preserves nutrients by driving them from the husk into the endosperm.

  • Pressurized steam chambers (100-120°C)
  • Controlled steaming duration
  • Nutrient migration enhancement
Drying Process

5. Drying

Steamed paddy is carefully dried in stages to gradually reduce moisture content from approximately 35% to the optimal 12-14%, preventing cracking while conditioning the grain for husking.

  • Multi-stage temperature-controlled drying
  • Moisture monitoring throughout process
  • Tempering periods between drying stages
Husking Process

6. Husking

Dried paddy passes through rubber roll huskers that gently remove the outer husk layer while minimizing grain breakage, transforming paddy into brown rice while preserving the nutritious bran layer.

  • Rubber roll husking technology
  • Husk aspiration system
  • Paddy separator for unhusked grains
Whitening & Polishing

7. Whitening & Polishing

Brown rice undergoes a controlled abrasive process that gradually removes the bran layers to create white rice. Multiple polishing passes create increasingly refined rice with the desired whiteness level.

  • Vertical whitening machines
  • Water mist polishing for final luster
  • Bran collection system
Grading - Broken Rice Separation

8. Broken Rice Separation

Polished rice passes through sieving machines with different mesh sizes to separate whole grains from broken pieces, ensuring uniformity in the premium rice grade.

  • Oscillating sieve technology
  • Length graders for precision sorting
  • Separate collection of different grades
Grading Process

9. Quality Grading

Each batch of rice undergoes thorough quality assessment based on international standards, measuring attributes like whiteness, translucency, grain size consistency, and cooking characteristics.

  • International quality standards verification
  • Cooking property testing
  • Certificate of analysis generation
Weighing & Packaging

10. Weighing & Packaging

The final sorted rice is precisely weighed and sealed in moisture-resistant packaging to maintain freshness, with each package marked with production details for quality assurance and traceability.

  • Automated weighing systems
  • Multi-layer protective packaging
  • Batch coding and quality certification
Distribution & Logistics

11. Distribution & Logistics

Our premium rice products are distributed through a carefully managed logistics network, ensuring timely delivery to domestic and international markets while maintaining product integrity throughout the journey.

  • Climate-controlled storage facilities
  • Efficient domestic and export logistics
  • Real-time shipment tracking systems
