Procuring rice forms an important phase of the supply. The procurement requires a thorough and an appropriate understanding of the rice market. It also requires the supplier to be equipped with the farmers as well as the chain of distributors. We RARM are associated with a chain of farmers who have been farming rice since decades and are hence well acquainted with rice. Marginal small paddy traders in the village, traders of rural rice market and trade in rice at our factory. We RARM are closely connected with the chain of these three groups. The main objectives of these groups are to collect the best quality rice from the famous and recognized farmers of this region.
Storage: Storage of the paddy is done at a particular moisture level in all the three storage modes.
Silos : Safest Storage Mode
Ware House : Safer Storage Mode
Open Stack : Safest Storage Mode
Rice in its natural form is inedible. Therefore, milling and processing of the rice is required for attaining the desired quality of rice. In our rice mills, we process the rice for making it polished and edible. The main goal of milling is the removal of barns 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 varied secondary and tertiary products. Here are some of the operations done to create the final product.
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. Our drying plant comprises of fully mechanized and automatic gradual drying systems having on line sensors for controlling the temperatures. These can dry 50 tons of paddy per hour. We ensure taking appropriate care so that none of the delicate portion of the rice breaks while processing. Our technological solutions make us take every measure for avoiding Bacterial infection, fermentation or fungal infection so that we keep the hygiene and the natural aroma intact.
Exposure of rice grains to steam for removal of hull and barn 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. We RARM 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.
The last and the final step of the overall procedure is the milling. 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 makes us ensure having environmental friendly environment that is completely protected against unexpected and unforeseen elements.
The Basic Processes of Rice Milling Are
Removal of all the impurities and unfilled grains from the paddy
Helps in improving the nutritional quality by gelatinization of starch inside the rice grain
Process to separate small stones from paddy
Process to remove husk from paddy
Separating the husk from brown rice/ unhusked paddy
Preparation of the milled Rice for transporting to the customer
Separation of discolored and large and small breaks from the head rice concept clarity is required
Improvement of the appearance of the milled rice through removal of the remaining Barn particles and polishing of the exterior of the milled kernel
Removing all or part of the bran layer and germ from brown rice
Separating the unhusked paddy from brown rice
Milling Process in Different Forms of Rice
Rice in its basic form is known as "rough rice" and is still covered by a non-edible hull or husk. At the mill, rough rice is processed differently to get the desired form of rice.
