02Processing

PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTION LINES

Lotus Rice is processed in state-of-the-art facilities to ensure that only the finest rice grains are produced and delivered. Rice is produced under our processing system from seed selection, cultivation, harvesting, milling, processing, packing to loading.

Raw material pre-cleaner

Paddy pre-cleaner uses screens to separate foreign matter such as straw, rubbish, wood, large stone, string, sand, etc…. out of rice. The machine is designed with inclined screen oscillating crosswise.

Silo

After cleaning, rice is categorized and kept in Silos, the temperature is controlled at the proper level to sustain freshness and high quality.

Cleaner

Rice cleaner removes the finer impurities which are left over after pre-cleaning process. Separates stones from rice paddy based on the principle of gravity.

Destoner

removes stones and clods from soil ridges and moves them to the furrow so that the ridges are free from stones. This also helps when harvesting in wet conditions as the harvester can drive on a row of stones which helps improve traction.

Whitener

Removing all or part of the bran layer and germ from brown rice. The result of the process is white rice

Polisher

Improving the appearance of milled rice by removing the remaining bran particles and by polishing the exterior of the milled kernel.

Length Grader

Separating small and large broken rice from intact rice.

Color Sorter

The rice is passed before an electronic eye that detects any difference in color. damaged kernels, yellow kernels, and discolors grains are removed.

Fumigation Silo

After processing, rice is categorized and kept in Silos, the temperature and fumigation system of which are controlled at the proper level to sustain freshness and high quality.

Automatic packing lines

We invest in automating the whole process of packing & packaging our rice to ensure high-quality of finished products. Fully automatic packing lines significantly increase production rate, quality of the output, reduce labor costs, and minimize human errors.

Metal Detector

By using dual-wave Metal Detection Technology, our machine could detect both ferrous and non-ferous metals such as FE and CU. The highly sensing technology works on each individual product assures effective and consistent contamination detection.

In-house loading

The in-house integrated process allows us to control 100% of the entire chain, from processing to packing and loading; in-house loading avoids damage and maximizes loading capacity. The ideal locations of Lotus farms & factories in Mekong Delta facilitate transporting convenience with time and effort savings.
