Process

Home / Process

We purchase the raw material from the local mandis or APMC’s as well as outstation mandi’s. We ensure that the material is sourced from the producing centers during the peak harvest to take advantage of the freshness as well as colour. India is home to several spices and other agri commodities which enables us to be gain a competitive edge over our competitors in terms of quality and prices.

Our experienced and efficient staff in the Procurement Department makes sure that only best quality products are sourced from the market, which is inline with the buyer standards and requirements. The desired quality of the products is tested and the final purchase takes place only upon approval from the quality control department.

The goods are sent to Fumigation department after carrying out the initial stages of procurement. This ensures that the goods are free from all harmful insects and pests before they enter any further process.

Purchase

Raw materials are purchased from the local mandis or APMC’s as well as outstation mandis.

We ensure that the material is sourced from the producing centers during the peak harvest to take advantage of the freshness as well as color.

Fumigation

All raw materials are fumigated before cleaning and packing.

Fumigation is carried out either with Methyl Bromide or Aluminium Phosphide depending on the product.

Cleaning

The raw material undergoes pre-cleaning and de-stoning to remove metal and stones using air and density differences, ensuring no harm to the material. A screen separator is used to maintain product quality while consuming minimal energy.

Grinding

We have specialized grinding machines for Turmeric, Coriander-Cumin Seeds, Chilli, as well as Flours like Ragi, Bajra, Juwar, Rice, Besan, and Wheat which is ground under special instructions and procedures.

Packing

After cleaning is complete, next is packing. The packing of the products is either done by an automatic packing machine or manually depending on the characteristics. The packing material conforms to the statutory requirements for food products and is in accordance with the specifications of regulatory bodies such as the Indian Institute of Packaging, Mumbai, FSSAI & the Spices Board. After packing, each pack passes through a Metal Detector. A Metal Detector is used to maintain the quality and hygiene norms of the product even at the final stages of production. This phase of product processing and cleaning gives surety that the product does not contain any metal particle, which can be hazardous in nature.
