Fortified Nutrition Rice / FRK Production Line
Turn low-value Broken Rice into premium Golden Rice. A high-efficiency extrusion solution for combating malnutrition and maximizing rice mill profits.
Restoring Value:
From Broken Grains to Superfood
Rice milling generates huge amounts of broken rice, which is typically sold cheaply for animal feed. Our technology changes this equation using Extrusion Reconstitution.
By grinding broken rice into flour, mixing it with water and micronutrients, and extruding it under High Pressure & Low Shear, we recreate perfect rice kernels.
Unlike puff snacks, this process ensures the starch gelatinizes without expanding, resulting in a transparent, dense, and chewy grain that looks and cooks just like natural rice.
Waste to Wealth
Transform low-value broken rice ($0.3/kg) into premium nutritional rice ($1.5/kg). This upcycling process dramatically increases the profitability of any rice mill.
Combat Hidden Hunger
FRK (Fortified Rice Kernels) are enriched with Iron, Zinc, and Vitamins (A/B). The nutrients are locked inside the grain, so they don’t wash off during rinsing like surface sprays do.
Versatile Grain Shapes
Whether you need long-grain Basmati, short-grain Japonica, or golden-colored rice, simply change the die mold. We can match the appearance of your local natural rice perfectly.
The Reconstitution Process
From powder to grain. A precise engineering process that recreates the texture and appearance of natural rice while locking in nutrients.
Grinding & Pulverizing
Broken rice is fed into a high-speed pulverizer to be ground into fine rice flour (60-80 mesh), ensuring a smooth texture for the final grain.
Nutrient Mixing
Rice flour is mixed with water and micronutrients (Vitamin A, B, Zinc, Iron). The high-speed mixer ensures a uniform distribution of nutrients.
Reconstitution Extrusion
The extruder cooks the flour under high pressure but controlled temperature. It gelatinizes the starch without puffing, reforming it into grain shapes.
Vibration Cooling
Newly formed rice grains are hot and sticky. A vibrating spreader cools them down rapidly to prevent sticking and clumping before drying.
Low-Temp Drying
Rice needs slow, low-temperature drying. Our multi-layer dryer removes moisture gradually to ensure the grains do not crack or develop fissures.
Surface Polishing
The dried rice enters a polishing machine to remove surface burrs. This gives the artificial rice a crystal clear, shiny appearance, identical to natural polished rice.
Engineered for Grain Perfection
Unlike snack puffing, rice reconstitution requires precise control over gelatinization and moisture to prevent breaking and ensure transparency.
FRK Twin Screw Extruder
Designed with a special screw configuration and a water-cooled barrel. It ensures the rice flour is fully gelatinized under high pressure but extruded at low temperature. This prevents expansion, creating a dense, glass-like grain structure.
Low-Temp Drying Oven
Rice grains are prone to “checking” (cracking) if dried too fast. Our multi-layer dryer uses a Low-Temperature, Long-Time drying curve to gently remove moisture from the center out, ensuring the grains remain intact during cooking.
Rice Polishing Machine
The final step to making artificial rice look natural. The polisher removes surface starch and burrs, giving the FRK grains a smooth, shiny, and translucent appearance that blends perfectly with natural white rice.
Diverse Rice Varieties
From government fortification projects to high-end health foods. Our molds allow you to produce any shape, color, and nutrient profile.
Golden FRK
Enriched with Beta-carotene and Vitamin B. The signature golden color indicates high nutritional value.
White FRK
Designed to match natural white rice perfectly. When blended at 1:100, consumers cannot tell the difference.
Konjac & Fiber Rice
Made from Konjac flour. Low in calories and high in dietary fiber. Perfect for the diet market.
Long Grain Basmati
Replicating the slender, long shape of premium Basmati. We customize molds to match your local rice variety.
Coarse Grain Rice
Reconstituted from corn or purple potato flour. Brings the health benefits of coarse grains with a soft texture.
Instant Rice (MRE)
Highly gelatinized rice that rehydrates quickly. Ideal for instant food cups, self-heating meals, and emergency rations.
Technical Specifications
High-capacity models designed for industrial rice mills. The line length includes the specialized low-temperature drying system and polishing unit.
| Model | Output Capacity | Main Motor | Total Power | Line Dimensions (L*W*H) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LY-70 | 200 – 260 kg/h | 30 kW | 95 kW | 22 x 1.5 x 2.2 m |
| LY-85 | 400 – 500 kg/h | 55 kW | 140 kW | 28 x 1.5 x 3.0 m |
| LY-95 | 800 – 1000 kg/h | 90 kW | 190 kW | 38 x 2.0 x 4.0 m |
* Note: Total power includes the electric heating dryer. If you use gas or diesel for drying, the electricity consumption will be significantly lower.
We customize extruder molds to replicate your local rice variety (Basmati/Japonica) and offer Gas/Diesel energy options for cost efficiency.

Why Choose Loyal?
Making artificial rice is not just about shape. It’s about texture, cooking integrity, and appearance. We solved the technical challenges so you don’t have to.
No Cracking
Cracked rice is rejected by the market. Our Low-Temp Long-Time Drying technology removes moisture gently from the core out, ensuring the grains stay whole and intact.
No Mushy Rice
Poor quality FRK dissolves in boiling water. We provide Mature Formulas and precise extrusion parameters to create rice that remains chewy and distinct after cooking.
Crystal Appearance
Consumers buy with their eyes. Our specialized High-Speed Polishing Machine removes surface roughness, giving your artificial rice the same gloss and transparency as premium natural rice.
Shape Customization
Basmati? Japonica? Thai Jasmine? We customize the Extruder Die Molds based on your local rice samples to ensure the artificial grains blend perfectly with your target variety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers on texture, nutrient retention, and production costs.
Does the artificial rice taste like real rice?
Yes. By using our specific extrusion parameters (high pressure, low shear) and correct moisture control, the starch structure is reconstituted to mimic natural rice. The cooked rice is chewy, distinct, and has a natural rice aroma. It does not taste like “puffed snacks.”
Will the high temperature destroy the vitamins?
No. The residence time inside the high-temperature zone of the extruder is very short (only a few seconds). Additionally, the nutrients are mixed inside the flour matrix (embedded), which protects them from heat and washing water. Retention rates are typically over 90%.
How much FRK should be mixed with natural rice?
For government fortification projects (like in India), the standard ratio is usually 1:100 (1kg FRK mixed with 100kg natural rice). For commercial functional rice (like Konjac or Purple Potato rice), it is sold as 100% pure product.
Is the drying process expensive?
Drying is the biggest energy consumer in this line. To reduce costs, we recommend using Gas or Diesel Burners instead of electricity if your local electricity rate is high. Our dryers are equipped with a hot air recycling system to save up to 30% energy.
Can I use 100% broken rice as raw material?
Yes, broken rice is the best raw material. You can also mix it with corn flour, millet, buckwheat, or konjac flour depending on the product type you want to create (e.g., golden rice or low-GI rice).
