Raw materials & machinery

Manufacturing process

1. Cleaning of whole pulse grains to remove foreign matter and impurities.
2. Moistening of the cleaned grains according to specific pulse requirements.
3. Drying of the moistened grains either under the sun or using mechanical tray driers.
4. Milling/Dehusking using shellers and emery rolls to remove the outer skin and split the pulse into two pieces.
5. Sieving to separate the split dal, churi, and husk.
6. Packaging the finished unbroken split pulses into gunny bags for storage and market distribution.

Market

Pulses are an essential source of dietary protein for the predominantly vegetarian population of India. Demand remains high with domestic production often supplemented by imports, ensuring a steady market for locally milled pulses.
