Hulled Sesame Seeds Manufacturing - A Sneak Peak
Sesame seeds are flat,
Sesame seed processing:
In order to process sesame seeds, manufacturers need big processing plants and the correct sesame seeds-hulled and unhulled, the unhulled seed lot does not need to go through the dehulling process. All these three steps have been described below.
Step 1: cleaning
- This is the
pre cleaning process which is meant to clean all the raw seeds and is done by removing all the impurities and dust particles. - There are many devices within the cleaning machinery to carry on this process.
- Firstly, all the seeds are sieved then transferred to a spiral blending machine and then into the grader followed by the de-stoner.
- The machine has three different discharging outlets-for impurities, for sewage and for cleaned seeds.
Step 2: dehulling
- This process is of two different kinds-dry dehulling and wet dehulling. Dry dehulling is not used in commercial plants and industries. Whereas wet dehulling is used where a large output needs to be obtained.
- Wet dehulling in turn includes 5 processes which are: soaking, dehulling, separation, cleaning
and drying.
Step 3: Sorting
- The final step of the process is sorting in which again is divided into 3 steps: fine sorting, magnetic sorting
and colour sorting. - Fine sorting-this is a kind of a sorting process in which all the seeds are fined and then sorted on the size basis
- Magnetic sorting-this is a kind of a sorting process in which the fined seeds are made to go through magnetic field or charge to remove all kinds of magnetic impurities.
- Colour sorting-in this sorting, the single sorter machine separates impurities like foreign particles and stones.
Concluding the aforesaid steps of sesame seeds manufacturing, the manufacturers and exporters bag the seeds and get them ready for export.
