Every grain has a journey.

This guide explains a typical rice milling journey. Images show our mill; the processing stages and equipment used for your selected rice are confirmed with its product specification.

01 / A typical milling journey

Receiving & preparation

The rice milling journey begins with paddy and its condition. Drying and storage prepare the grain for later processing, with the route depending on the product being made.

02 / Cleaning & separation

Cleaning the grain

Cleaning separates unwanted material from the incoming grain. The machinery and sequence used depend on the incoming material and the required rice product.

03 / Husking & paddy separation

Removing the husk

Husking removes the outer hull from paddy. Separation then distinguishes husked rice from remaining paddy before further milling. Ask the mill to confirm the route for your rice.

04 / Whitening & polishing

Finding the finish

Whitening removes bran layers when white rice is produced. Polishing and other treatments vary by product; brown rice and differently processed rice follow different routes.

05 / Grading & specification

Grading & product checks

Grading separates grains by relevant characteristics. Sorting and product checks help establish the specification. Confirm grain length, broken percentage, moisture and finish for the product you buy.

06 / Packing & dispatch

Packing & the next journey

Rice is weighed and packed for its next destination. With Eagle, discuss your selected range, requested quantity, packing and destination before the quotation is agreed.
