Our Production Process

Every batch follows the same five-phase sequence — documented, traceable, and auditable from receipt to dispatch.

Receipt of Raw Seed

Phase I

Intake & Protection Zone

Quality Gate

Incoming lots sampled and tested for moisture, purity, and foreign matter. Non-conforming material is rejected before entering the facility.

Bulk Silo Storage

Accepted seed is segregated by species and crop year in dedicated silos. Temperature and moisture are continuously monitored.

Scalping

Coarse vibrating sieves remove large debris — straw, oversized stones, and foreign material — before fine processing begins.

Dust Extraction

Pneumatic aspiration clears dust, chaff, and light impurities from the seed stream, protecting downstream equipment.

Magnetic Protection

Inline permanent magnets capture all ferrous metal particles at the zone exit before seed advances to cleaning.

Phase II

Precision Cleaning Zone

Multi-Stage Sifting

Layered vibrating screens separate seed by size fraction, removing both undersize and oversize particles at high precision.

Destoning (Gravity Table)

Gravity table removes stones, glass, and dense foreign matter via differential density separation — critical for downstream equipment protection.

Length Grading (Indented Cylinder)

Indented rotating cylinder grades seed by length, separating broken kernels and short foreign seeds that passed size screening.

Phase III

Dehulling Circuit

☀ Sunflowers Only

Centrifugal Dehuller

High-speed centrifugal impact breaks the hull cleanly from the sunflower kernel. Rotor speed is calibrated per seed size fraction to minimise kernel breakage.

Husk / Kernel Separator

Combined pneumatic aspiration and gravity separation removes hull fragments from clean kernels after each dehulling pass.

Recirculation loop: Dehulling yield is inspected after each pass. Under-peeled material is automatically recirculated through the dehuller until the target peeling rate is achieved — no batch advances until it passes.

Phase IV

Zero Defect Quality Zone

Size Grading

Final calibration screens the batch to target count-per-ounce specification — Bakery, Confectionery, or Chips grade.

Optical Color Sorter

High-speed camera arrays detect and reject discoloured, spotted, or defective kernels — achieving up to 99.99% purity output.

X-Ray Inspection

X-ray beam detects dense foreign bodies — stones, metal fragments, and glass — that are invisible to optical sorters.

Final Polishing

Surface polishing removes residual dust and hull fragments, delivering consistent kernel appearance and clean contact surfaces.

Phase V

Outbound Zone

Automated Bagging

Batch filled into 25 kg paper or PP bags, 50 lb bags, or 1,000 kg big bags — automatically weighed and sealed.

Final Metal Detection

Every filled bag passes through a tunnel metal detector. Rejected bags are held and reviewed — no exceptions, no bypasses.

Palletizing

Bags stacked on EUR-pallets, stretch-wrapped, and lot-coded for full traceability from dispatch back to incoming lot.
