Legume and Pulse Packaging Line and Factory Setup

A legume and pulse packaging line is a complete industrial system designed to clean, sort, weigh and package dried legumes such as beans, lentils and chickpeas under controlled hygienic conditions. The line produces consumer or bulk packs depending on the selected packaging equipment.

From an industrial perspective, pulse packaging is important because it combines primary cleaning (bujari), size and quality sorting, precise weighing and high-speed bagging to deliver consistent product quality and shelf presentation. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary materials typically include dried legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), packaging films or bags, cartons and labels. The core machinery set consists of cleaning machines with filters and cyclones, sorting systems, digital weighers (±1 g accuracy), volumetric or weigh-fill packaging machines (30–60 packs/min), sealers and labelers.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new legume packaging plant as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current 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 packaging 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 legume and pulse packaging line is engineered as an integrated process system covering primary cleaning, sorting, weighing, bagging, sealing and labeling. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from pilot or semi-industrial scales up to higher industrial throughputs, depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include cleaned and graded beans, lentils, chickpeas and other pulses in consumer bags or bulk packs. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: primary cleaning (bujari), sorting by size and quality, digital weighing, volumetric or weigh-fill packaging, sealing and labeling.

Main machinery groups include cleaning machines equipped with filters and cyclones, sorting systems, digital weighers, packaging machines (30–60 packs per minute), sealers and label applicators. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, compressed air and packaging materials handling.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation and the selected packaging format. Quality control covers cleaning efficiency, size uniformity, net weight accuracy and package integrity. Finished packs are stored under dry conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial legume and pulse packaging line can manufacture a variety of finished packs depending on the selected product and packaging system. Typical product families include:

Cleaned and graded beans in consumer bags
Lentils and chickpeas in various pack sizes
Mixed pulses
Bulk packs for food service or further processing

Variant development (pack size, film type) is defined during product development and process engineering. Packaging formats and secondary packaging are selected according to target markets and distribution channels.

Raw Materials for Legume and Pulse Packaging Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for product cleanliness, appearance and shelf life. The main and auxiliary materials used in a typical industrial packaging operation are described below.

Main Raw Materials

Dried legumes – Beans, lentils, chickpeas and similar pulses. Incoming quality (moisture, foreign matter, size variation) directly influences final pack quality.
Packaging materials – Films, bags, cartons and labels that form the primary and secondary packs.

Secondary / Optional Materials

Optional preservatives or anti-insect treatments (where permitted)
Cartons, stretch film and secondary packaging

Each material has a defined role and a measurable impact on quality attributes such as cleanliness, net-weight accuracy and package integrity. Storage conditions (humidity, temperature) must be controlled to preserve product quality.
