A besan mill plant, also known as a gram flour mill plant, is a facility designed to process gram dal (chickpeas) into besan, which is a popular ingredient in Indian cuisine.
Besan is a fine flour made from grinding dried chickpeas, and it is used in various dishes such as pakoras, sweets, and gravies.
Here are the general steps involved in a besan mill plant:
Cleaning: The first step involves cleaning the gram dal to remove impurities like stones, dust, and other foreign materials. Cleaning machines such as vibratory sieves, destoners, and magnetic separators are used to separate and remove these impurities.
Grinding:The cleaned gram dal is then ground into a fine powder using grinding mills or pulverizers. These machines crush the dal into a consistent texture to produce besan flour.
Sieving: After grinding, the besan flour is sieved to remove any coarse particles or lumps. This step ensures a smooth and uniform texture in the final product. Sieving can be done using mesh sieves or vibrating sieves.
