Food Process Guar Gum Plant in Pune
Depending upon the requirement of end product various processing techniques are used. In India the commercial production of Guar gum is normally undertaken by using process of roasting, differential attrition, sieving and polishing.
Guar gum is an agrochemical processed from the plant called cluster bean. It has various uses in different industries. It is used as an additive in food, pharmaceutical, paper, textile, explosive, cosmetic industry, etc. It is mainly used as a thickening agent. One of the major uses of guar gum is in the medical field and it is used to treat many ailments and is part of various medicines.
The stage wise process of manufacturing
food grade guar gum is as under. It is very
important to select guar split in this process.
The split will be screened to clean and then it
will be soaked to prehydrate in a double cone
mixer/Washing conveyor. Prehydrating
stage is very important in the process as it
derives the rate of hydration of the final
product.
The soaked splits, which has reasonably
high moisture content, will be passed
through Flaker. The flaked guar split will be
predried in duct dryer. The dried guar flake
will be ground to desired particle size in
ultrafine grinder followed by drying of the
material in flash dryer. The powder will be
screened through rotary screens to deliver
required particle size. The oversize particles
will be either recycled to main Ultrafine or
reground in separate regrind plant, as per
viscosity requirement.
This stage helps to reduce the load at the
grinder. The soaked splits are difficult to
grind. Direct grinding generates more heat in
the grinder which is not desired in the
process as it results in insoluble or reduced
hydration of the product. Through heating,
grinding & polishing process the husk is
separated from the endosperm halves and
the refined Guar Gum split are obtained.
Through grinding process the refined Guar
split are then treated and converted into
powder.
During the split manufacturing process, husk
& germ are obtained which are used as a
cattle feed as they are rich in protein. It is
widely sold in the international market as
"Guar Meal" and has contents of "Oil &
Albuminoids". These contents are about
50% in germ whereas it is about 25% in
husks. Quality of the food grade guar gum
powder is defined from its particle size, rate
of hydration and the microbial in it. E412 guar
gum is an important natural food supplement
with high nutritional value.
How does Guar Gum plant work?
Guar Gum plant is used to obtain guar gum through a process that is configured and designed in such a way to get maximum end product using minimum heat and force. It is a complicated process and uses different machineries. Raj Process Equipment manufactures Guar Gum Plant in Pune. It not only designs the entire plant but also helps the client in installing it.
Equipments for guar gum processing
plant:
1. Raw Material Conveying
On a pneumatic conveyor system Guar
Gum Splits are moved through various
tubes via air pressure, allowing for extra
vertical versatility. This Pneumatic
conveyor is used to carry raw material to
raw material storage hopper for further
processing. The contact parts in Carbon
Steel.
2. Raw Material Storage
The material conveyed through pneumatic
conveying system is stored in Mild Steel
hoppers. Further it is conveyed to washing
system using control valves.
3. Washing Conveyor
Guar splits are screened to clean and then
soaked to pre-hydrate in washing conveyor.
Pre-hydrating stage is very important in
the
process as it derives the rate of hydration
of the final product.
The soaking and conveying of guar splits is
totally depends upon the design and
manufacturing of hydration conveyor. So it
plays very important role in production of
high viscous guar gum powder.
Raj Process can manufacture single, two,
three, four deck hydration conveyors as per
