It is envisaged that initially the unit would concentrate on bulk supplies to make initial inroads in market and thereafter gradually enter the consumer market.

Besan manufacturing process

The process of manufacturing quality besan or gram flour involves four major processes, as explained below.

Dal Making - mini dal mills is use for making carrying different processes cleaning and grading, pitting, pre-treatment with oil & water, conditioning, de- husking & splitting.

Cleaning - Eliminate pebbles, broken grains and other impurities from Gram.

Conditioning - Based on physical properties of gram dal, remove other coloured gram halves. Water content, if any, should be removed by sun-drying to maintain minimum 12 to 14% moisture.

Milling ( Grinding ) - The gradual milling system should be adopted for milling and operation consists of breaking, scalping and purification, reduction and dressing.

We have Two types of pulverisers to offer you for the grinding of bangel grams as under

1. Multipurpose pulses and Grains Mills is a very simple type of pulveriser. The grinding chamber consists of a serrated ratchet liner on top, and screen at the bottom for classification. Feed material is passed into grinding chamber through a hopper manually. The ground power is collected in a through fitted below the screen, depending on the desired fineness. These Multipurpose pulses and Grains Mills is best suitable for small scale industries or beginners.

2. The impact pulveriser consists of an encased rotor carrying swing hammers, whizzer classifier for fineness regulation and pressure gradient creator mounted on a solid shaft. Raw material to be pulverized enters the crushing chamber through the hopper or the automatic rotary feeder. The impact of the hammers on the feed material against the liner plates reduces it into fine powder. The ground material is carried towards the whizzer classifier for classification and the oversize particles are rejected by the classifier and returned to the crushing chamber for further grinding. The classified material is then conveyed into the cyclone for collection and bagging. A dust collector is provided in the system for ensuring dust less operation and for no loss of ground powder. for more details please visit us at impact pulveriser for mass productionsDuring the grinding process, a small quantity of air is generated, to remove this air a Polyester dust bag is fixed below the through and the other end of the bag is hung at a height, also acting like a dust collector.

Finishing - Sometimes, finished excellent flour (besan) is mixed to obtain a standard and uniform desired properties, characteristics and colour.

The process is simple compared to wheat, rice, maize milling units.
