1) Introduction of Clean Paddy
Cleaned paddy is fed into the system after removing impurities, ensuring only high-quality grains proceed.
2)Buffer Zone
Paddy is stored within a storage bin, maintaining grain integrity before further processing.
3) Kachi Tank Pre-Steaming
Paddy undergoes pre-steaming in the Kachi Tank at 3-bar pressure to initiate starch gelatinization, softening the husk.
4) Soaking
The grains are immersed and circulated in water at specific temperatures to facilitate even hydration, enhancing the gelatinization process.
5) Belt Conveyor
An automated belt conveyor system transports the hydrated paddy to subsequent stages, ensuring efficiency and minimal handling.
6) Pakki Steaming System
The paddy is subjected to a final steaming at 3-bar pressure to achieve optimal moisture content for the drying phase.
7) Tapered V Dryer
Utilizes a specialized drying mechanism to reduce moisture content from approximately 36%-34% down to 13%-12%, maintaining grain quality.
8) Tempering
Post-drying, the paddy is cooled to room temperature in a controlled environment, stabilizing the grain structure before milling.
9) Rice Milling
The processed paddy is then conveyed to the rice mill for dehusking and polishing, preparing it for market distribution with enhanced grain quality and appearance.

5) Loading Elevator
The paddy is mechanically elevated to be fed into the next processing equipment.
6) Online Cooker:
Here, paddy undergoes high-pressure steaming at 3 bars to enhance flavor, texture, and nutritional value through complete gelatinization.

1) Introduction of Clean Paddy
Cleaned paddy is fed into the system after removing impurities, ensuring only high-quality grains proceed.
2) Initial Drying:
The first drying phase reduces the moisture content from approximately 20% to a lean 10-12%, using specialized dryers designed for uniform moisture removal.
3) Bin Elevator:
An automated elevator system lifts the paddy to storage, optimizing the flow and reducing manual handling.
4)Buffer Zone
Paddy is stored within a storage bin, maintaining grain integrity before further processing.
5) Online Cooker:
Here, paddy undergoes high-pressure steaming at 3 bars to enhance flavor, texture, and nutritional value through complete gelatinization.
6) Resting Bin
After steaming, grains are allowed to rest, absorbing the steam’s effects, which influences color and taste stabilization.
7) Belt Conveyor
An automated belt conveyor system transports the hydrated paddy to subsequent stages, ensuring efficiency and minimal handling.
8) Secondary Drying:
The grains are dried again to adjust moisture from around 36% back to 13-12%, fine-tuning for optimal grain quality.
9) Tempering
Post-drying, the paddy is cooled to room temperature in a controlled environment, stabilizing the grain structure before milling.
10) Rice Milling
The processed paddy is then conveyed to the rice mill for dehusking and polishing, preparing it for market distribution with enhanced grain quality and appearance.
1) Paddy Cleaning:
Harvested paddy is subjected to cleaning processes to remove any foreign material, ensuring quality and purity of the grain.
2) Dryer Elevator:
An elevator mechanism elevates the paddy to the dryer, facilitating the transition to the moisture reduction phase.
3) Dryer:
The paddy enters a controlled drying environment where moisture is reduced from its initial content to approximately 10-12%. This step is critical for preventing microbial growth, maintaining grain color, and ensuring long-term storage stability.
4) Tempering
Post-drying, the paddy is cooled to room temperature in a controlled environment, stabilizing the grain structure before milling.

The processed paddy is then conveyed to the rice mill for dehusking and polishing, preparing it for market distribution with enhanced grain quality and appearance.
SKF Elixer India Pvt. Ltd manufactures a majority of its components in-house, starting from foundation bolts, blowers, elevators, chain conveyor, heat exchangers and panel boards, thereby enabling control on the quality of inputs and attention to detail.
All raw materials whether its SS sheets or SS/MS items undergo a rigorous incoming inspection based on company’s standard quality plan. These raw materials are sourced from vendors with whom the company has cultivated and built a relationship over several years giving them a significant advantage in terms of quality, price and availability.
Each order is then split into the parboiling section, drier section and various other components such as blower, heat exchanger, steam chamber and foundation components are put together after a series of processes such as fabrication, cutting, bending, welding and painting. SKF Elixer is one of the few companies in India to use a ‘Bystronic, Swiss base’ laser cutting machine to ensure precise fitment and finish to its products.
The finished items are tested and inspected on, precision, perfection, tensile strength and dimensional accuracy, before they are packed in a partially knocked down condition and transported to the site for erection and installation. The parboiling and drying units manufactured by SKF Elixer use a nut bolt system thereby enabling a quick turnaround time. SKF Elixer is one of the few companies in India to use a ‘Bystronic, Swiss base’ laser cutting machine to ensure precise fitment and finish to its products.
