Employing Rubber Roller Technology for Husking
At Alija Organic Foods Pvt. Ltd., we use advanced rubber roller technology for husking, which ensures gentle removal of the husk from paddy grains. Unlike traditional methods, this modern approach minimizes grain breakage, preserves nutritional value, and delivers higher yield with superior quality.
Two-Stage Whitening Process
To achieve a refined and uniform appearance, we employ a two-stage whitening process. This method carefully removes the bran layers from rice kernels in two steps, ensuring consistency, smoothness, and reduced damage to the grains while maintaining their natural aroma.
Employing Paddy Separators
Our milling units are equipped with high-precision paddy separators that effectively distinguish unhusked paddy grains from brown rice. This ensures that every kernel that moves forward in the process is properly dehusked, contributing to higher efficiency and improved overall quality.
Replacement of Old Machinery with Modern Technology
We have modernized our operations by replacing traditional stone disk hullers and vertical cone polishers with emery-coated cylinders, friction-type whitener polishers, and advanced dry & wet mist polishers. This upgrade ensures better polishing, enhanced grain quality, and an improved glossy finish, all while maintaining energy efficiency and reducing wastage.
