PULSES & LEGUMES PROCESS
Pulses and legumes—such as lentils, chickpeas, peas, beans, and lupins—are essential sources of protein, fiber, and micronutrients for millions worldwide. To meet food, feed, and seed standards, these crops require specialized processing that ensures cleanliness, nutritional integrity, and market readiness. At ADDAMS, we engineer and manufacture industry-leading equipment and turnkey plants explicitly designed for efficient, gentle, and high-yield processing of pulses and legumes.
We offer customized solutions for both seed-grade and food-grade applications, ensuring your processing lines meet the demands of modern markets.
Seed-Grade Pulses Processing
Seed-quality pulse processing demands high precision to maintain germination rates, varietal purity, and physical integrity. Our machinery is built to handle sensitive seeds with care while effectively removing impurities and foreign material.
Our Seed-Srade Processing lines include:
- Pre-cleaners and fine cleaners for removing dust, chaff, and light impurities
- Gravity separators for density grading
- Indented cylinder separators for length-based separation
- Color sorters to eliminate discolored or damaged seeds
- Seed treatment systems for disinfection and enhancement
- Low-impact conveyors and storage systems to preserve seed quality
- Our Turnkey Plants comply with global seed certification standards and offer full traceability, automation, and modular design options for easy upgrades and expansions.
Food-Grade Pulses Processing
For food-grade pulse processing, sanitation, dehulling performance, and product consistency are paramount. Pulses destined for human consumption must undergo multiple cleaning and conditioning stages before milling, splitting, or packaging.
Our food-grade systems include:
- Vibratory and aspiration cleaning systems
- Dehulling, splitting, and polishing machines
- Moisture control and tempering systems
- Grading and sizing equipment
- Color and defect sorters
- Packaging systems with hygienic design and automation
- Each system is designed for maximum yield with minimal losses and downtime, while complying with food safety regulations including HACCP and ISO. We also incorporate dust control and product recovery systems for a cleaner, safer work environment.
