Guntur Processing Plant Facility
Step-by-step virtual tour showcasing our state-of-the-art cleaning, grinding, steam sterilization, and container loading processes at Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.
Cold Storage & Warehousing
Chilli pods sourced from trusted farmers are placed immediately into our cold storage to preserve natural color values, essential oil content, and prevent aflatoxin formation.
Aspirated Air Cleaning
Raw chillies pass through pre-cleaners where heavy stones, soil particles, dust, and light straws are extracted using mechanical vibration screens and high-velocity air currents.
Automated Destemming
Based on buyer requests (stemless vs with-stalk), chillies pass through specialized rollers and high-speed rotary cutting blades that separate the green stalk cleanly without breaking the pod.
Optical Color Sorting
Sophisticated optical sorting cameras scan each falling chilli, instantly identifying and ejecting discolored, pale yellow, or damaged pods to secure color integrity.
Milling & Pulverization
For powder, crushed, and flakes specifications, sorted pods are fed into cold milling machines. Water-cooled mills prevent heat buildup, preserving natural spicy aroma and volatile oils.
Continuous Steam Sterilization
Critical sterilization phase. Pure steam treats the spice to kill Salmonella, E. coli, yeasts, and molds without chemical fumigation, fully complying with European food regulations.
Metal Detection & Quality Lab
Spices undergo magnetic extraction and pass through final metal detectors. Concurrently, our laboratory tests moisture, ASTA color, and capsaicin levels for Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Sanitary Automated Packing
Finished chillies are packed inside multi-layer paper bags, high-density PP bags, or jute gunny bags. Sealing occurs in positive-pressure clean rooms prior to container stuffing.
