Our machines focus on removing all extraneous materials such as weed, dust, rock paddy rice and substandard grains and other foreign particle are separated through our high-technology color sorter, for final upgrading before transfer to packing process and the final product is completely manufactured.
The Plant
Parboiling Capacity
Through investment in machinery, our current Parboiling capacity is (10) M/TONS P.H. The process is far superior than the conventional methods in terms of mitigating development of unwanted smells and ensures hygienic processing of the grain, preserving its fragrance and aroma during the processing. The requirements of soft water for parboiling process are met by an integrated water treatment plant.
Drying is a most critical operation after harvesting. Delays in drying, incomplete drying or ineffective drying will reduce seed quality and result in a reduction in viability. Well-dried seeds retain their viability for longer periods under good storage conditions. Wet seed, on the other hand, is more vulnerable to pest and disease attack and to deterioration in physical quality. Wet seed also leads to natural respiration during storage creating “hot spots” within the seed lot. These hot spots promote the growth of insects and the development of fungi and other pathogens. At Amir Rice we understand the importance of Seed drying to reduce the moisture content of the seed to a safe level for storage. The drying techniques must maintain seed quality by not decreasing the seed’s viability
Drying Plant
Currently our Husking capacity is 20 M/TONS P.H, by utilizing advanced technology, along with its ability to employ and retain a skilled, dedicated workforce, the mill is able to fulfill the most demanding specification for milled rice. The state-of-art husking plant of Amir Rice Mills (Pvt) Ltd. uses 21st century technology from “Satake”. The online inflow and outflow mechanisms are fully computerized with the help of sensors. The plants and are equipped with number of Pre cleaners, De-stoners, Precision-sizers, Graders, Paddy separators, De-huskers, Magnets etc. The plant premises are environment friendly and fully protected against contamination by foreign particles.
Rice Milling
Amir Rice Mills (Pvt) Ltd. is among a select set of rice manufacturing companies, based in Pakistan, who had imported silos from USA for storage of rice. The purpose of any grain storage facility is to provide safe storage conditions for the grain in order to prevent grain loss caused by adverse weather, moisture, rodents, birds, insects and micro-organisms like fungi. Storage is a critical operation and losses can easily occur if preventive measures are not taken. In Asia, between 70 and 90 percent of farm-produced paddy remains in the farms and the rest is deposited in or sold to agricultural cooperatives or sold to the private sector. Appropriate storage is therefore required, both for rice for consumption (milled or paddy) and for rice for seed purposes. We at Amir Rice possess the technology that is required to ensure our customers get the best end product.
Storage in Silos
Apart from having made investment in Silo storage we also have more warehousing facilities which consist of Twenty two (22) go down halls in 3 factories having rice storage capacity of forty thousand (40,000) metric ton. The warehouses have Separate fumigation chambers for cleaner insect free environment.

Rice Processing
Currently our processing Capacity is 20 M/TONS P.H, the state-of-art processing plants for rice production have fully mechanized sophisticated processing procedures for different stages like cleaning, de-stoning, polishing, sorting and grading. In these hi-tech milling plants every stage conforms to international standards and stringent guidelines of process control are meticulously adhered to at every stage to ensure uniformity of grains without destroying fragrance, aroma and basic quality of grain.
Winnowers are relatively simple machines that consists mainly of a hopper to receive the grain, a fan and a set of sieves. Pre-cleaners: These motor-driven devices are generally used to pre-clean grains that have been harvested when moist, before it goes to the artificial dryer. Cleaner-separators: The cleaner-separators are motor-driven and consist of a reception hopper, a fan and a set of vibrating sieves that clean grain by repeated suction of the lightest impurities, followed by sifting of the grain.
Cleaning
During whitening and polishing, bran layers are removed from the brown rice. This not only enhances the appearance of the rice but also increases its shelf life, since the lipids contained in the beginning and the bran layers are highly susceptible to enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation. The bran removal is best achieved in several steps to ensure evenly milled rice with minimum broken grains and optimum uniformity. The whitened rice is then polished to give it a silky finish.
Whitening & Polishing
Understanding our responsibility as a manufacturer of an edible product, we ensure that it is high in quality. We implement all the latest quality control measures so that each grain is of superior quality. Every lot is subject to strict laboratory test and our Sortex Machine ensures the elimination of black rice. Through innovation we have learned to use the best Sortex machines from Buhler and Satake.
Color Sorting
Grading is the process of removing the broken grains from the head rice and sorting them into well-defined fractions of different lengths. The grading process at our mill is achieved with a Plan sifter, Classifier Separator and Indent Cylinder.
Grading
The finest quality rice is finally packed and sent out according to the market requirement and trade standards. The rice is bagged-off in our bagging station, stitched at the sewing belt, stored according to its grade and is then ready for dispatch. We at Amir Rice Mills will work with you to produce the type of rice product that will sell well for both domestic and export use and guarantee that only the finest rice reaches you
