Pulses and Grains
Integrated technologies for quality, safety and production efficiency
Processing pulses, grains and loose products calls for plants able to ensure high productivity, accurate dosing and rigorous quality control.
The natural variability of the product and the possible presence of impurities make it essential to adopt integrated technologies for sorting, weighing, packaging and final inspection, ensuring consistent quality, maximum food safety and high production efficiency.
Key challenges
Impurities and foreign bodies in loose product
Stones, soil, plant residues, foreign seeds and defective grains must be detected and removed before packaging
Natural product variability
Size, shape, colour and density can vary considerably between varieties and harvests, calling for flexible, highly precise systems
Small products
Pulses, grains and other granular products need technologies that ensure high accuracy even with small piece sizes
Weighing precision
Reducing giveaway while meeting nominal weight is essential to optimise production profitability
High production speeds
Lines must ensure operational continuity without compromising quality and precision
Food safety
Metal contaminants and other foreign bodies call for reliable inspection systems along the entire line

The machines
Tailor-made solutions. Real tests.
We test your product free of charge to identify the technology and configuration best suited to your application. Real trials, performance analysis and dedicated reports allow us to develop every project starting from concrete data and from the customer's specific production needs. First we test. Then we build the solution.
