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
