The key milling and processing stages.

Pre-Cleaning and De-Stoning: Paddy is cleaned after harvesting using the aspirator and the magnetic separator to remove foreign matters like straw, dust and stones.
De-husking and Paddy Separation: The outer hulls are gently removed without affecting the delicate bran layer and the endosperm using advanced rubber-roll hullers.
Precision Whitening and Polishing: It is used to buff the surface of the grain with a special abrasive to get the surface clean and silky, white in color.
Optical Sorting and Grading: Multi-chromatic optical color sorters are able to pick out and sort out discolored, chalky, or damaged grains with micro-millimeter precision.
Controlled Aging: The grains are stored in moisture-controlled silos for several months to lower the amount of internal stickiness in the grain and enhance the natural aroma.
