Key Features
High Efficiency Cleaning & Conditioning
- ● Dedicated 15 TPH × 2 pre-cleaning units supporting all lines
- ● Standalone fine cleaning systems for each line
- ● Removal of coarse/fine impurities (stones, mud balls, straws, dust, immature grains)
- ● Raw material drying system designed for safe storage and uniform processing
Advanced Milling & Dehulling
- ● Latest generation pulse hullers with adjustable speed and milling chamber settings
- ● Long-life emery grit stones for higher uptime and reduced maintenance
- ● Automated oil/water addition systems with paddle mixing conveyors
Automation & Control Systems
- ● Fully automated MCC-cum-PLC – SCADA based control
- ● Sensor-enabled process monitoring & automated pneumatic slide gates
- ● Auto sequence start/stop for all process sections; instant restart after interruptions
- ● End-to-end traceability and visualization of operations
Engineering, Safety & Specialized Equipment
Future-ready plant design with a strong focus on safety, hygiene, and consistent output quality.
Engineering Excellence & Safety
- ● Steel braided cables (rodent resistant) & mesh type cable trays (prevents insect/lizard nesting)
- ● Cyclonic aspiration for a dust-free plant environment
- ● Clear maintenance access around machinery; platforms designed for future expansion
Specialized Equipment
- ● High-end imported Korean colour sorter for consistent output quality
- ● Steam-based indirect hot air grain dryer ensuring uniform and hygienic drying
Operational Intelligence
- ● Multi-path & multi-input process selection; instant digital reports on yield, production, stoppages, and power
- ● Reduced operator dependency, lower idle running and power consumption, jam-free restarts
- ● Prevents mixing of different grades (e.g., Sawa vs. Fatkadal)
Why Automation Matters
Most traditional 20–30 TPD non-automated dal mills face operational limitations and quality inconsistency.
- ● High labour dependency and inconsistent quality
- ● Difficulty in yield calculation and poor nightshift productivity
- ● Inconsistent oil/water addition and frequent machine jams
- ● Grade mixing, overflow losses, and high power wastage due to idle running
The ISP Advantage
ISP’s fully automated 240 TPD facility eliminates traditional pain points and strengthens consistency at scale.
- ● Consistent and superior product quality
- ● Full process visibility and traceability
- ● Lower manpower requirement and reduced operational cost
- ● High throughput with minimal downtime; hygienic, dust-free infrastructure
