Alfalfa

Alfalfa from Field to Food, Feed, and Seed.

Alfalfa takes a long and detailed journey before it reaches your table. From planting and growing to harvesting and processing, turning this essential grain into food or beverage products requires significant time and effort. If you’ve ever noticed different types of Alfalfa on store shelves, the main distinction comes down to Alfalfa processing. After harvest, Alfalfa undergoes a series of processing stages that shape the final product.

ALFALFA PROCESSING 

Alfalfa Intake

Purpose: The ADDAMS Alfalfa Intake aims to receive, inspect, and transfer raw Alfalfa into the processing line in a controlled and efficient manner. It is the first step in the grain processing system and plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and traceability of the grain.

Key functions of ADDAM Alfalfa Intake Equipment:

Receiving – Alfalfa is unloaded from trucks, trailers, or containers into pits, hoppers, or conveyors.

Initial inspection and sampling – to check for moisture, foreign materials, and overall quality.

Pre-cleaning (optional) – light impurities like dust and chaff may be removed at this stage.

Weighing and documentation – for inventory management and traceability.

Feeding into the processing system – via conveyors, elevators, or storage silos.

Alfalfa intake equipment ensures a consistent flow of raw material, protects downstream equipment, and serves as a critical control point for quality assurance.
