Chilli Processing Plant & Machinery Solutions
Chilli processing turns dried red chilli pods into flakes, coarse chilli powder and fine ground chilli. Pods are de-stemmed, cleaned of stones and dust, colour sorted, then crushed and ground under enclosed extraction because chilli dust is pungent and irritating to handle.
Complete Chilli Process Flow
Stalks are broken off the dried pods and the loose calyx, dust and field debris are screened away. Stones and mud balls are removed before the pods reach any cutting equipment.
Discoloured, blackened and mould-marked pods are rejected optically, since chilli is bought largely on colour. Sound pods are graded so each variety and size runs as its own batch.
Pods are broken into flakes and the seed fraction is separated from the pod wall. Seed can be held back, reduced or added again depending on the pungency and colour the buyer has specified.
Flakes are milled to powder in a closed circuit, with the airborne fraction drawn off and recovered rather than released into the room. Enclosed handling protects operators from capsaicin-laden dust and keeps the powder off the plant floor.
Ground chilli is sifted to the ordered mesh and passed over magnets to catch tramp metal from the mill.
Flakes and powder are weighed into pouches, coded, weight checked and cased for despatch.
