Halva (Sugar and Tahini Halva) Production Line and Factory Setup

A sugar and tahini (ardeh) halva production line is an integrated industrial system designed to process sesame seeds into tahini, prepare sugar syrup, combine them under controlled conditions and package traditional and industrial halva under hygienic conditions. The line produces sesame-based and sugar-based halvah with consistent texture and flavor.

From an industrial perspective, halva manufacturing is important because it combines precise sesame dehulling, roasting, milling, syrup cooking and controlled mixing to achieve the characteristic fibrous or smooth texture and long shelf life of traditional and modern halvah. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include sesame seeds, sugar, glucose, water, flavorings (saffron, rose water) and optional soapwort root extract. Core machinery consists of sesame dehullers, stone or colloidal mills, 60 kg halva cooking kettles, industrial mixers and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new halva factory as well as existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of current halva lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that needs technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey halva 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 sugar and tahini halva production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering sesame cleaning, soaking, dehulling, washing, drying, roasting, milling into tahini, syrup preparation, mixing in cooking kettles, cooling and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically support industrial throughputs depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include tahini (ardeh) halva, sugar-based halva, saffron and rose-flavored varieties and various retail or bulk packaging formats. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence for tahini preparation (cleaning, soaking 6–8 h, dehulling, washing, drying, roasting, milling) and parallel syrup preparation, followed by mixing, cooling and packaging.

Main machinery groups include sesame dehullers (stainless steel, three-phase motor, pneumatic door), stone or colloidal mills, 60 kg halva cooking kettles, industrial mixers and packaging machines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam or gas, process water and compressed air.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers sesame quality, tahini fineness, syrup brix, final texture and packaging integrity. Finished halvah is stored under cool, dry conditions before distribution.

Technical Specifications

The following technical data represent typical ranges for an industrial sugar and tahini halvah production line. Final values are defined during basic and detailed engineering and may vary according to selected technology, level of automation, product portfolio and factory layout. For precise project-specific figures, contact the Industrial Department.

All figures are indicative. Detailed utility balances, equipment lists and layout drawings are prepared after process definition and capacity confirmation.

Products

An industrial halvah production line can manufacture a variety of finished products depending on the selected formulation and mixing configuration. Typical product families include:

• Tahini (ardeh) halvah
• Sugar-based halvah
• Saffron and rose-flavored halvah
• Traditional Tabrizi-style halvah
• Retail and bulk packaging formats

Variant development (texture, flavor, packaging size) is defined during product development and process engineering according to target markets.

Raw Materials for Halva Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for texture, flavor and shelf life. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

• Sesame seeds – Provide the tahini base. Quality of incoming sesame (oil content, cleanliness) directly influences final texture and flavor.
• Sugar and glucose – Provide the syrup phase.
• Water – Used for soaking and syrup preparation.

Secondary / Optional Materials

• Soapwort root extract (for traditional texture)
• Saffron, rose water and other flavorings
• Colors
• Packaging materials

Storage and handling conditions must be controlled to preserve sesame oil quality and prevent rancidity.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial halvah process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

1. Sesame Cleaning and Soaking – Sesame is cleaned and soaked for 6–8 hours to soften the hulls.
2. Dehulling, Washing and Drying – Hulls are removed by a dehuller; seeds are washed and dried.
3. Roasting – Dried seeds are roasted to develop flavor and aroma.
4. Milling – Roasted seeds are milled in a stone or colloidal mill to produce tahini (ardeh).
5. Syrup Preparation – Sugar, water, glucose and flavorings (saffron, rose water) are cooked into a syrup.
6. Mixing – Tahini and syrup are combined in a 60 kg cooking kettle with continuous mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
7. Cooling and Packaging – The mass is cooled and packaged.
