Chive from Field to Food, Feed, and Seed.

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

CHIVE PROCESSING 

Chive Intake

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

Receiving – Chive 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.

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