PRE-CUTTING
The process of grinding requires an equally careful operation to contain and sustain the nutritional values of turmeric (Haldi) and spices. Turmeric rhizomes, after fully dried and de-stoned, are cut into slices.
The process can be performed manually as well as in machines. In manual pre-cutting, the staff can slice it into smaller pieces. But this process appears to be too slow to meet the demand and supply chain needs. Therefore, ideally, the machines for this purpose are available at Lyallpur Organics’ processing plants. The destoning plant carries these carefully cleaned rhizomes to a universal impact mill.
The universal impact mill contains the fixed hammers which break these rhizomes piece by piece. In the presence of a plate magnet, the metallic particles are also separated in the same container. The hammers beat the turmeric and a specially designed screen fixed at the bottom of the hammer container mutually turns the rhizomes into small kibbles. The purpose behind turning these rhizomes into small kibbles is to make the grinding process easy and effective.
