1 / 8Fortified Rice / FRK Plant
Food & Nutraceutical PlantsProduct Introduction
Our Fortified Rice Kernel (FRK) Plant manufactures micronutrient-fortified rice kernels that are blended with normal rice to produce fortified rice as per FSSAI and PFA standards. The extrusion-based FRK process ensures precise vitamin and mineral encapsulation into each rice-shaped kernel, supporting national food fortification programmes.
What This Machine Does
This industrial mixing/blending machine homogeneously combines dry powders, granules, or pastes to achieve uniform distribution. It's essential for consistent product quality in batch manufacturing.
Products You Can Make
This machine is designed to process and package a wide range of products:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the blend ratio of FRK with normal rice?
A: FRK kernels are typically blended at a 1:100 ratio (1 part FRK with 100 parts normal rice) to achieve the nutritional target per standard serving, as per FSSAI fortification standards.
Q: Is the plant compliant with government fortification standards?
A: Yes, our FRK plants are designed and validated to meet FSSAI Food Fortification Standards and can be registered under FFRC for government food security scheme supply.
