We started our business as rice retail and wholesales merchandise in 1985 and later expanded our business in paddy wholesale with a vision of establishing state-of-art modern rice mill. At 1993 the visionary G.Marimuthu and M.Arumugasamy founded Kamathenu Modern rice mill with a mission of "Providing Good quality Rice to our quality customers".
Three decades of experience in the field of rice milling industry makes us to ensure quality in all stages from procurement of paddy, processing and packing. We manufacture 95-TON Rice per day and ensure timely delivery to all the customers in various parts of India and overseas.
The first and most critical step towards total quality management is procurement of Raw Paddy because we believe that milled rice is as good as the paddy that is procured. Only paddy without disease affected and black that conforms to the Modern quality standards is sent for Warehouse, Storage and Processing. We have the most proficient Quality Control team and machines to test right from raw Paddy to finished end product for necessary
Moisture content, Head rice yield, Percentage of broken and Admixtures and the Length and Breadth of the grain to ensure that product delivered to customer conforms to the good Quality specifications. Since every stage of the production is carefully controlled by Quality team operators at every stage of operation and no on before head of quality team, the consumer feel confident that it is completely meets sanitary Quality standards.

Paddy cleaning is carried out with the use of Indopal paddy free cleaning machines. Each machine has the capacity to separate 9 tons per hour of paddies in terms of their quality. It ensures the removal of Sand, Mud, Stone or any other form of Dust particles.
The machine offered by us is developed by our R&D professionals to ensure its high Efficiency, Sturdiness and Durability. Our quality experts conduct rigorous tests on this machine on numerous parameters.
Drying is the process of simultaneous heat and moisture transfer. It is the removal of excess moisture from the grains. Once dried, the rice grain, now called rough rice, is ready for processing. Proper drying results in increased storage life of the grains, prevention of deterioration in quality, reduction of biological respiration that leads to quality loss of grains, and optimum milling recovery.
Hulled rice grains are known as brown rice. The brown rice then passes into the paddy separator which separates any unhulled kernels from the brown rice and recycles them into the huller.
Milling is the process which strips off the bran layer from brown rice by air ventilation. Brown rice is milled further to create a more visually appealing white rice.
During whitening and polishing bran layers are removed from the brown rice. The bran removal is best achieved in several steps to ensure evenly milled rice grains with minimum broken and optimum uniformity.
The whitened rice is then polished to give it a finish up to silkiness. In our rice mill whitening is done twice and silky polishing is done for once.

The rice grains at this stage are all edible and hygienic. The grader helps to apportion rice in terms of their Shape and Size. The work of the grader helps to pack the rice in terms of their quality. The rice grains at this stage are all edible and hygienic.

Optical inspection is the final quality control and enhancement step in the rice mill. Discolored grains and optionally chalky kernels are removed to yield a first grade product. Blending and packing of rice. To achieve a uniform and consistent quality in packed white rice, the various white rice fractions are blended according to the market requirement and trade standards.
The stored grains pass through the following 10 stages before it is ready for consumption. Rice in terms of its quality and variety are packaged in bags of 100, 75, 50, 25 and 10 kilograms.
