Chickpea from Field to Food, Feed, Malt and Seed.

Chickpea 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 Chickpea on store shelves, the main distinction comes down to Chickpea processing. After harvest, Chickpea undergoes a series of processing stages that shape the final product.

CHICKPEA PROCESSING

Chickpea Intake

Purpose: The ADDAMS Chickpea Intake aims to receive, inspect, and transfer raw Chickpea 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 ADDAMS Chickpea Intake Equipment:

Receiving – Chickpea 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.

Equipment:

• Intake Pit (with or without Aspiration System).
• Intake Active Belt Conveyors.
• Chain Conveyor or Screw Conveyors.
• Grain Containers.
• Big Bag off-loading Crane.
