Rice Processing Methods at Rajendra Mills

our process

We believe that delivering quality is our responsibility and we never stop getting better at it.

During the manufacturing process we use specialized equipment’s and tools to ensure the highest quality of rice.

The entire process is well documented to the minutest detail below to give you a fair idea of where our rice really comes from.

state-of-art production facilites

modern and scientific sourcing poilicy

automatic packaging facilities

the entire process is well documented

We Believe quality means doing it right even when no one is looking.

While producing the finest quality long grain basmati rice we rely on:

Strong technical force, scientific management mechanism, advanced production equipment,s, superior lab quality checks and excellent after sales service.

step 1

Natural Himalayan water processing - We believe in purity

RRM cultivates the rice in the Himalayan foothills of India. The water of the Himalayas is known as mineral-rich which adds purity & better quality nutrition to the crops. The rice is cultivated in the fertile soil of Tohana, Haryana using both traditional & modern scientific methods to serve the best quality rice on your meal table. We believe that only nature can preserve the essence that our product holds and should thereby be processed in the most organic way possible. The crop (paddy) is then shifted to the mill for milling, where it goes in the storage bin (also known as hoddi).

Paddy Cleaning & Destoning

The paddy then passes through the paddy cleaner which cleans the paddy. Improper cleaning results in grain loss and lower head rice recovery later. Therefore, all the paddy is cleaned thoroughly to reduce bulkiness in the operations later. In this process, we remove straw pieces, unfilled grains, and other foreign materials. The paddy still contains certain impurities that are needed to be removed and thereby goes through the process of destoning to separate itself from the heavy impurities. The destoner machine separates the grain from stones, sand, clods from grains, etc. in the machine through vibrations.

step 3

the parboiling unit

For the process of parboiling, a boiler is needed to supply the required quantity of steam or boiling water which is produced by burning the rice husk in the boiler. The boiler produces steam to boil the rice, a technique that is a substitute for ageing the rice for a year to reap its benefits.

3 major reasons why we adopt this advanced parboiling technique to partially boil rice at this stage are:

Boling Rice fills up the grain cracks that would have otherwise taken a year to get filled
Boiling Rice cuts down on the breakage of the rice
Boiling Rice Improves the overall quality of the rice

After the process, there’s a unique drying plant that ensures the quality and uniform drying of paddy grains without breaking them. The paddy goes to the dryers which dry the paddy through hot air and then the paddy is ready for milling.

The Husk Cleaning Process (Dehusking)

We perform an optical inspection of the grains, during which all discoloured grains and chalky kernels are discarded, leaving only the highest-quality produce. The paddy grains that are dried off are often covered with husk and are needed to be removed. The paddy husker takes out the rice from the husk (shilka).

As the paddy grains migrate between two abrasive surfaces moving at different speeds, friction removes the husk from the rice. The paddy goes to the boiler again wherein it burns the husk further.

step 5

The Paddy Separator

Once the paddy grains and husk are separated, they are still together in a pipeline that is needed to only carry the rice grains further, therefore the husk is then extracted by vibration after dehusking and only the rice grains are transported further in the pipeline to get it polished.

Rice Polishing

All that we get at this stage is the rice that is brown, that is needed to be transformed to white. This rice has a brown outer covering, known as bran and beneath it is white rice, which is needed to be extracted through a process called Rice Polishing. Rice polishing is the process in which an advanced machine known as a Rotary Polisher is used for buffing (or "polishing") rice to change its appearance for transforming brown rice into white rice. These are abrasive machines that use talc or very fine dust to buff the outer surface of rice kernels, giving out white rice.

step 7

Rice Smoothning With Water Jet Polisher

Rice polishing is not enough. To produce the best rice, we ensure that each grain that we deliver is reflective of the quality that it is obtained and therefore, we take a step ahead and process the grains further for smoothing. To further refine our products, it is smoothened out while maintaining the yield's quality. Water jet polisher mixes a fine mist of natural water with the dust retained on the whitened rice, thereby improving the lustre of rice (polishes) without significantly reducing milling yield.

Rice Color Sorting

Once the rice is graded based on its thickness, it then passes through the colour sorting machine that has various cameras installed for inspection. The moment the camera detects any colour defects, the camera instructs ejectors fitted in the machine to open the nozzle. The nozzle is connected to valves containing compressed air. This air is then used to shoot out the colour defected material from the input rice to further refine the rice and sort it based on its colour and is further pushed in the process for length grading.

step 8

step 9

Rice Length Grader

We only look and pick the best. To ensure that our brand maintains the highest quality products, we further put it through stringent quality control measures and pick only the finest quality rice harvested from the green paddy fields that retain its nutrition, texture, and most importantly - length. In the process of sorting out, there are approximately 15 fine nets that can capture varying sizes of rice grains that give the finest rice in varying sizes. The Rice Length Grader then separates these grains based on their sizes and weight further to be processed for packaging for different sizes as we don't mix sizes.

Packing Units

The success we taste today is the outcome of many years of providing good products and unmatched service. We believe in constantly delivering upon the same standards. Hence, this is the most essential stage when we have the rice that is processed, sorted, and assigned to the dedicated tanks based on varying factors. We have a team of skilled professionals who then set this rice straight into packaging directly from the tanks, only to be delivered further.

step 1

Natural Himalayan water processing - We believe in purity

PPM crafts the rice in the Himalayan foothills of India, which is known to add purity to the crop simply by being the fertile rice ground that it is. All that you get in your platter today from our paddy, starts from the fields with Natural Himalayan mineral-rich water used for irrigation. It makes its way through Bhakra Canal Network to our fields. We believe that only nature can preserve the essence that our product holds and should thereby be processed in the most organic way possible. The crop (paddy) is then shifted to the mill for milling, where it goes in the storage bin (also known as hoddi).
