THE PROCESS OF MAKING WHITE RICE HAPPENS THROUGH A SERIES OF
STEPS BEGINNING WITH THE RECEIPT OF BULK RICE, A SAMPLE IS TAKEN FROM IT
SAMPLE AND ANALYZE TO KNOW THE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY AND IMPURITIES
ACCEPTABLE FOR RICE DISCHARGE THESE LEVELS MUST BE 18%
HUMIDITY AND 3% IMPURITIES.
ONCE THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED, THE LOAD IS ENTERED TO
THE RECEIVING HOPPERS
THEN THE RICE CLEANING IS CARRIED OUT, THIS PROCESS IS DONE TO REMOVE
BRANCH, POWDER, STONES, METAL, AND OTHER GRAINS DIFFERENT FROM RICE THROUGH A
SHAKING MOVEMENT. UP TO THREE CLEANING PROCESSES ARE REQUIRED TO
REMOVE IMPURITIES.
ONCE THE CLEANING IS COMPLETED, THE RICE DRYING PROCESS BEGINS, IN THIS PROCESS
WHICH CONSISTS OF EMPTYING THE RICE INTO INCLINED SILOS WHERE IT IS INJECTED
HEAT WHERE IT IS DRIED BETWEEN 24-36 HOURS
ONCE TIME IS UP, THE DRIED RICE IS CONVEYED BY MACHINES
Screw conveyors and are discharged into the storage silos
WHERE IT REMAINS AT REST FOR 30 DAYS
AFTER RESTING, THE RICE IS SENT TO THRESHING, WHERE IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS OF
PEELING, POLISHING, A SYSTEM IS USED IN THE PEELING
RUBBER ROLLERS FOUND AMONG THEM, TURN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE
THAT ALLOWS THE HUSK TO SEPARATE FROM THE GRAIN, LEAVING THE RICE THAT
IT IS CALLED BROWN RICE. FROM THERE IT GOES TO POLISHED: THE RICE IS SUBJECTED TO
FRICTION PROCESSES, AIR OR WATER IN WHICH THE UPPER LAYER IS REMOVED AND
OBTAIN WHITE OR POLISHED RICE.
WHEN HAVING POLISHED RICE, IT IS CLASSIFIED BY SIZE WHERE RICE IS OBTAINED
BROKEN OF SIZE LESS THAN ¼ OF THE WHOLE GRAIN IS ALSO
CLASSIFIED, AND IT IS CLASSIFIED BY COLOR BEING THOSE QUALIFIED AS SUCH
SECOND.
ONCE CLASSIFIED, THE MIX IS PASSED WHERE IT IS PROCESSED BEFORE PACKAGING
A mixture of broken grains and whole grains to obtain rice of
COMMERCIAL QUALITY, TO FINALLY COMPLETE THE LAST PROCESS OF
PACKAGING THIS PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT FOR VARIOUS PRESENTATIONS IN
PLASTIC BAGS, IN POLYPROPYLENE BAGS, IN SACKS, IN BUNDLES. GIVEN THAT
THE RICE THAT GOES TO THE PACKAGING SECTION, ENTERS QUALIFIED AND
SELECTED, QUALITY CONTROL IN THIS PROCESS HAS TO DO WITH
FUNDAMENTALLY WITH THE EXACT WEIGHT RESPECTING EACH PACKAGE. ARE USED
AUTOMATED AND SEMI-AUTOMATED PACKAGING MACHINES.
