How It Works

The Production Workflow — Step by Step

From raw paddy intake to packaged retail-grade white or fortified rice — a fully integrated 6-stage process designed for high head rice yield, hygiene and consistent quality.

🌾

Paddy Cleaning & De-Stoning

Pre-cleaners, de-stoners and magnetic separators remove straw, dust, mud and metal contaminants from raw paddy

🥥

Husking (Shelling)

Rubber-roll shellers remove the husk; husk separator and paddy separator return un-hulled grains to the next pass

⚙️

Whitening / Polishing

Vertical whiteners and water-jet polishers remove the bran layer to deliver smooth, clean white rice with desired polish

🔍

Color Sorting

Optical color sorters detect and eject discoloured, chalky and foreign grains — delivering export-grade purity

📊

Length Grading

Indented cylinder graders separate full grains from broken rice, producing head rice, second heads and brokens

📦

Fortification & Bagging

Optional FRK blender adds vitamins/minerals; auto bagging in 1–50 kg packs, sealed and palletised

Key Features & Benefits

Why Vezora Plants Lead the African Market

🌍

Designed for African Paddy

Long-grain, medium-grain and short-grain paddy varieties from Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Madagascar all behave differently. Our rubber-roll settings, polishing pressure and grading angles are calibrated to your specific paddy.

📈

High Head Rice Recovery

Our multi-stage whitening and water-jet polishing achieves 65–70% head rice yield — significantly higher than basic single-pass mills, directly improving margin per kg of paddy processed.

💊

FRK Fortification Ready

Optional inline FRK (Fortified Rice Kernel) blender adds Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Zinc and 8+ other micronutrients — meeting WFP, FFI and national fortification mandates.

Energy Efficient

Designed for stable operation on African grids and generator backup — soft-start motors, optimised aspiration ducting and energy-efficient blowers reduce kWh per ton.

🔍

Optical Color Sorting

CCD-based color sorters reject yellow, chalky, broken and foreign grains in real time — delivering export-grade rice quality for institutional buyers and FMCG brands.

🔧

Simple Maintenance

Wear parts (rubber rolls, whitener screens, sieves) are standardised and stocked locally through Vezora's Spare Parts vertical. AMC contracts ensure planned maintenance.
