Complete Cleaning, Sorting and Packaging Line for Legumes and Factory Setup

A complete cleaning, sorting and packaging line for legumes is an integrated industrial system designed to remove impurities, grade legumes by size and package them under controlled hygienic conditions. The line processes beans, lentils, chickpeas and similar products into clean, size-graded, ready-to-market packs.

From an industrial perspective, legume processing is important because it combines mechanical cleaning, density separation, optical or size grading and accurate weighing to achieve consistent product quality, high recovery rates and compliance with food-safety standards. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include dried legumes such as beans, lentils and chickpeas. Core machinery consists of pre-cleaners with central fans and double-deck screens, destoners, gravity tables, size graders, cyclones, separators and weighing packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new legume processing factory as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current cleaning and packaging lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey legume plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The complete cleaning, sorting and packaging line for legumes is engineered as an integrated process system covering pre-cleaning, destoning, gravity separation, size grading, dust control, weighing and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 500–1000 kg/h depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include cleaned and graded beans, lentils, chickpeas and other legumes in various pack sizes. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: primary cleaning, destoning, gravity table inspection, size grading into three fractions, dust collection and weighing packaging.

Main machinery groups include pre-cleaners, destoners, gravity tables (4 or 6 m), size graders, cyclones and separators, and multi-head weighing packaging systems. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, compressed air and dust extraction.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers incoming raw legumes, impurity levels, size distribution and packaging integrity. Finished packs are stored under dry conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial legume cleaning and packaging line can produce a variety of finished products depending on the selected grading configuration. Typical product families include:

Cleaned whole beans (various size grades)
Cleaned lentils
Cleaned chickpeas
Size-graded fractions (large, medium, small)
Retail and bulk packaging formats

Variant development (pack size, labeling, secondary packaging) is defined during product development and process engineering according to target markets.

Raw Materials for Legume Cleaning and Packaging Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for final product purity and recovery. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

Dried legumes – Beans, lentils, chickpeas and similar products. Incoming quality (moisture, impurity load, broken kernels) directly influences process efficiency and finished-product grade.

Secondary / Optional Materials

Packaging film, bags, cartons and tape

Storage and handling conditions (dry, pest-controlled) must be maintained to preserve product quality before processing.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial legume cleaning and packaging process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

Primary Cleaning – Incoming legumes pass through a pre-cleaner equipped with a central fan and double-deck screens that remove heavy impurities (stones, clods), light impurities (dust, chaff) and double kernels.
Destoning – Material enters a destoner that removes stones of similar size and weight to the product.
Gravity Table – Product is spread on a 4 m or 6 m gravity table that separates color-similar but defective grains by density differences.
Size Grading – Cleaned legumes are graded into three size fractions (large, medium, small).
Dust Collection – Cyclones and separators capture dust and chaff extracted by the cleaning fans.
Weighing Packaging – Graded product is filled by a multi-head weighing packaging machine into retail or bulk packs.

Machinery & Equipment

Each main machine performs a specific function. Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, customization, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation and spare-parts supply according to the agreed project scope.

Pre-cleaner – Removes heavy and light impurities with central fan and double-deck screens. Capacity typically 500–1000 kg/h. Position: first stage. Importance: protects downstream equipment and improves recovery. Quality impact: incomplete cleaning reduces final grade. Maintenance: screens, fans and drive. Sahi Rasa support includes full repair and spare-parts supply.
Destoner – Separates stones of similar size and density. Position: after pre-cleaning. Quality impact: residual stones damage packaging and consumer perception. Maintenance: deck, air system and vibration units.
Gravity Table – Density separation of defective kernels. Available in 4 m or 6 m lengths. Position: after destoning. Quality impact: critical for removing color-similar defects. Maintenance: deck surface, air distribution and motors.
Size Grader – Divides product into three size classes. Position: after gravity separation. Quality impact: uniform size improves packaging accuracy and market value. Maintenance: screens and drive system.
Cyclone and Separator – Captures dust and light particles. Position: connected to cleaning fans. Importance: environmental and hygiene compliance. Maintenance: ducts, fans and collection bins.
Weighing Packaging Machine – Accurate multi-head weighing and bag filling. Position: end of line. Quality impact: net weight accuracy and pack integrity. Maintenance: load cells, sealing jaws and sensors.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical functional areas include raw-legume receiving and storage, cleaning and grading hall, packaging area, finished-goods warehouse, dust collection room, quality-control laboratory, utility rooms, maintenance workshop, staff facilities and loading docks. Layout must respect hygienic zoning and process flow. Exact area allocation is determined during the engineering phase according to capacity and product range.

Utilities

Electricity: 380 V three-phase, typically 35–40 A
Water: 5–10 m³/day
