Paprika Processing Plant & Machinery Solutions
Paprika processing turns sweet, low-pungency red pepper pods into the deep red powder used for colour and mild flavour. Pods are washed, the stalks and seeds removed, dried, colour sorted, then milled, with the seed fraction blended back in a controlled proportion to set the shade.
Complete Paprika Process Flow
Pods are washed clear of soil and dust and the stalks and calyx are taken off. Split, blemished and immature pods are removed at the same point.
Seeds and the inner ribs are separated from the pod wall, as they carry less colour than the flesh. The seed fraction is kept aside so it can be reintroduced only in the proportion the recipe calls for.
Pod wall and seed are dried separately in warm air until they are brittle enough to mill. Moisture is monitored, because over-drying dulls the colour that paprika is bought for.
Scorched, browned and discoloured pieces are rejected optically before anything reaches the mill. Sorting at this point is what allows a consistent shade to be held from batch to batch.
Pod and seed fractions are milled separately and then blended back to the shade and pungency ordered. The blend is sieved so the finished powder is even in both particle size and colour.
Paprika is filled into pouches or doypacks, weight checked and coded; nitrogen flushing is used where colour has to be held in storage.
