Optimized for consistent B2B supply

The mill is strategically located near Chennai with easy access to Tamil Nadu’s rice belt and key transport corridors, enabling efficient movement of paddy and finished rice.

Layout planning separates paddy intake, milling, grading, bagging and storage zones to minimize cross‑contamination and support strong hygiene standards.

Rice milling process flow

A structured process from paddy intake to bagged rice ensures uniformity and traceability at every stage.

1. Cleaning

Pre‑cleaners and magnets remove stones, dust and foreign particles.

2. De‑husking

Husking machines separate husk while minimizing grain breakage.

3. Polishing

Multiple passes achieve the desired polish and shine for each SKU.

4. Grading

Sortex and graders control broken percentage and grain uniformity.

5. Packing

Automatic bagging and stitching ensure clean, tamper‑evident bags.

6. Dispatch

Structured dispatch yard supports orderly loading and documentation.

Key machinery and systems

Optical sortex

Multi‑channel optical sorters remove discolored grains and foreign matter for premium grades.

Automated conveyors

Closed conveyors reduce manual handling and protect rice from contamination.

Storage silos

Structured silos and godowns maintain controlled conditions for raw and boiled rice.

Automatic bagging

Weighing and bagging machines ensure accurate fill weights and cleaner packing lines.

Checks from paddy to finished rice

Sampling and lab testing

Samples are taken at paddy intake, post‑milling and pre‑dispatch for moisture, broken percentage, foreign matter and cooking tests.

  • Batch‑wise moisture checks using calibrated meters.
  • Broken and foreign matter recorded against internal limits.
  • Periodic cooking trials for key SKUs.

Pest‑free storage and hygiene

Storage hygiene protocols, fumigation schedules and housekeeping practices keep inventory safe and compliant with food safety norms.

  • Documented cleaning and fumigation schedules.
  • Stacking and palletization to improve air circulation.
  • First‑in, first‑out (FIFO) stock management.
