Manufacturing process
- Physically clean whole bengal gram to separate stones, dust, dirt, and foreign materials.
- Convey cleaned material into soaking-cum-drying bins for conditioning and blowing air to loosen the outer skin.
- Split outer skin (husk) using a dal mill.
- Moisturize and condition the split dal before final milling in emery roller machines.
- Pass the obtained flour through a battery of sieving machines to obtain super fine and fine grade besan.
- Collect separated husk and re-feed coarse materials for further milling.
- Pack finished besan directly into gunny bags, poly-line gunny bags, or laminated pouches for retail and bulk selling.
