• High-quality raw sesame seeds are sourced directly from farmers or trusted suppliers.
• Seeds are tested for purity, moisture, oil content, and contamination (dust, stones, or
  broken seeds).

Purpose: To remove impurities (dust, stones, sand, sticks, and foreign materials).
Equipment Used:

• Pre-cleaner / Vibratory cleaner: Removes large impurities (sticks, straw, leaves).
• Destoner: Separates stones and heavier impurities.
• Gravity separator: Removes light seeds and dust.
• Magnetic separator: Removes any metallic particles.

Output: Cleaned sesame seeds ready for hulling

Purpose: To remove the outer hull (skin) of the sesame seed to produce hulled sesame seeds,
which are white and used in bakery, confectionery, and tahini.
Steps:

• Soaking:
  • Seeds are soaked in warm water (sometimes with salt solution) to loosen the
    hull.

• Dehulling:
  • Using mechanical hullers or friction hullers to separate the seed coat.

• Separation:
  • The mixture of hulled and unhulled seeds passes through centrifugal
    separators to remove loosened hulls.

• Washing:
  • Seeds are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining husk or impurities.

• Drying:
  • Hulled seeds are dried using hot air dryers (to bring moisture below 6%).
  • Controlled drying ensures seeds remain white and don’t burn.

Output: Clean, dry, hulled sesame seeds.

Purpose: To ensure uniform color and quality.

Steps:

• Optical color sorter machines detect and remove discolored or black seeds.
• Grading machine separates seeds based on size and weight (uniform appearance).

Output: Export-quality, uniformly white hulled sesame seeds.

Before packaging:

• Lab testing for purity, moisture, oil content, and microbiological safety.
• Random samples are tested according to international standards (ASTA, EU, FDA).

Purpose: To maintain freshness, prevent contamination, and prepare for export.
Packaging Materials:

• Bulk export: 25kg or 50kg PP woven bags with inner liners.
• Retail packs: 1kg, 5kg, or 10kg laminated pouches or vacuum packs.
• Food-grade material used to maintain hygiene.

Final Steps:

• Bags are weighed, sealed, and labeled with product name, batch number, country of
  origin, and export details.
• Palletized and shrink-wrapped for container loading.

Output: Ready-for-export sesame seeds meeting global food safety standards.

• Stored in clean, dry, pest-free warehouses.
• Temperature and humidity are controlled to prevent rancidity.
• Exported in FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less than Container Load)
  shipments depending on order size.
