- Processes
- Cleaning Process-The first process is cleaning soybeans with highly mechanized equipment. During this process, most of the impurities like sand, stone particles are removed. Split soybeans and weeds are completely eliminated. Now the soybeans are free from the above-mentioned impurities, but to ensure high quality, soybeans pass thru the d-stoner machines. During this process, even the smallest sand particles get eliminated. Soybeans are then transferred to high power Magnetic Separators. During this process, all-metal particles are removed.
- Extruder Process - The cleaned soybeans are then crushed in highly advanced extruders. Soybeans are crushed at high temperatures. Temperatures can be controlled according to buyer requirements. In this process, soybeans get converted into a paste form.
- Expeller Process-This paste is then passed through expellers. Oil is expelled and paste from soybeans gets converted into the d-oiled cake.
- Hammer & Cooling Process- De-oiled cakes, then passed through hammer machine to achieve the required mesh size powder or meal. The meal then passes through a cooling process to achieve room temperature.
