Our Rice Milling Process

At SRK Rice Mill, we take pride in our comprehensive and meticulously managed rice milling process. From the initial reception of paddy to the final packaging of our rice products, every step is designed to ensure the highest quality and efficiency. Here’s a detailed look at how we transform paddy into premium raw and boiled rice.

1. Reception and Cleaning
Paddy Reception: Our process begins with the reception of paddy from trusted suppliers. We ensure that the paddy meets our quality standards before it enters the milling process.
Initial Cleaning: Upon arrival, the paddy undergoes an initial cleaning process to remove impurities such as stones, dirt, and other foreign materials. This step is crucial in maintaining the quality of the final product.
Pre-Cleaning: In this stage, the paddy is subjected to a thorough pre-cleaning process, where larger impurities are separated using air blowers and sieves. This ensures that only the cleanest paddy proceeds to the next stages.

2. Conditioning
Moisture Adjustment: The cleaned paddy is then conditioned to adjust its moisture content. Proper moisture levels are essential for efficient milling and to achieve the desired quality of rice. This is done using advanced conditioning systems that ensure uniform moisture distribution.
Soaking: For boiled rice, the paddy is soaked in water for a specific period. This process allows the paddy to absorb moisture, which is essential for the subsequent boiling process. The soaking time and conditions are carefully controlled to achieve the best results.

3. Milling
Husking: In the husking stage, the soaked paddy is passed through a husker machine that removes the outer husk. This results in brown rice, which still has the bran layer intact.
Pearl Milling: The brown rice is then subjected to a milling process where the bran layer is removed, producing white rice. This step involves multiple stages of polishing to achieve the desired level of whiteness and smoothness.
Boiling (for Boiled Rice): For producing boiled rice, the soaked paddy is steamed in large steam chambers. This process gelatinizes the starch, which improves the texture and taste of the rice. After steaming, the paddy is dried to reduce moisture content before it is husked.
Polishing: The final step in the milling process involves polishing the rice to remove any remaining bran and improve the appearance. This step enhances the rice’s shine and quality.

4. Grading and Sorting
Grading: The milled rice is then graded based on size and quality. We use advanced grading machines that separate the rice into different categories, ensuring that only the best quality rice is packaged for distribution.
Sorting: Our sorting process involves removing any broken grains, impurities, or defective rice. This step ensures that our final product is uniform and meets the highest standards.

5. Packaging and Distribution
Packaging: Once the rice is graded and sorted, it is packaged into various sizes according to market requirements. We use high-quality, food-grade packaging materials that preserve the freshness and quality of the rice.
Quality Control: Throughout the packaging process, rigorous quality control checks are performed to ensure that each batch meets our strict quality standards. This includes checking for any packaging defects and ensuring accurate weight.
Distribution: Our packaged rice is then prepared for distribution. We ensure timely delivery to our wholesalers and clients across various regions, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

6. By-Products Management
Husk and Bran Processing: We also manage the by-products of the milling process, such as husk and rice bran. These by-products are processed and utilized for various purposes, including as feed for livestock and in the production of rice bran oil.

Sustainable Practices: We are committed to sustainable practices and ensure that all by-products are handled responsibly, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.
