Production process of Green Starch factory
1. Collect ingredients
First, to start the process, the rice needs to be washed to remove all impurities from the outside of each grain. This rice will then be ground by a blender mixed with water into rice flour, with 500 grams of rice flour (each bag can produce 85 straws).The remaining ingredients are tapioca starch and the color of rice straws are also added later. Natural colors are extracted from fruits and vegetables, which can be White (Rice), Orange (Carrot), Green (Amaranth), Purple (Beetroot) and Gray (Sesame Seeds), etc.
2. Mix rice flour
After fully preparing the necessary ingredients, rice flour is put into the mixer and continuously beaten with water until smooth. Once the rice flour has been beaten well, it will be placed in the tray to prepare for the next step.
3. Steam the dough
Pour the flour mixture evenly into the steamer and wait until steamed.After steaming, the finished product will be put into a granulator to avoid breakage, brittleness and increase durability.
4. Shape a straw
Rice flour through the machine is pulled into tubes. This machine will create dough into tubes about 3-4 meters long, which the worker will then cut into short pieces. Next, bring them back to the rack to sort and cut again (Typical drying time is 6 to 12 hours).
5. Packaging
Workers classify, check quality and package products. On average, 1kg of rice flour produces 50 - 100 straws, depending on size. These finished products will be delivered to restaurants or business services to serve customers.
