Lentil processing involves a series of integrated steps designed to ensure high-quality, hygienic, and market-ready products. The process begins with pre-cleaning, where a strong airflow removes foreign materials such as dust, stones, and soil particles. Drying reduces moisture content in freshly harvested lentils, preventing spoilage during storage.

Next, cleaning and peeling remove unwanted substances and the outer skins of the lentils. Classification separates lentils by size while removing broken or damaged grains, ensuring a homogeneous product. During crushing or splitting, the outer shell is removed and lentils are split efficiently using grooved stones with adjustable motor speeds. Tarar systems further remove residual dust, feathers, or small particles, improving hygiene and overall product quality.

Advanced color sorting technology, such as the Tanis Sorton Zeugma with dual Full HD cameras and AI algorithms, separates lentils based on color, size, or defects with high precision, while air ejectors minimize waste. Polishing adds a finishing touch, enhancing the appearance and texture of lentils using water or oil without causing damage.

Finally, the lentils are packaged in standardized sizes, ready for storage or sale. Each step in the lentil processing line contributes to efficiency, quality, and food safety, making these systems essential for modern lentil production plants.
