ABOUT THE PROCESS PLANT

The first machine used is a pre-cleaner, in charge of removing sticks, shallots and soil.
Subsequently, Stonner machines are used to separate the stones and large clods.
Immediately it goes to the sieving machine where the bean is 'calibrated' to obtain the different sizes. Normally, sieve-screens are used, with a mesh size between 4.50 - 5.00 and 5.50 mm.
It then passes to the Densimetric or Vibrating Table, to eliminate the smallest, broken, rotten and defective grains.
It follows the path through the Shining-Polishing machines that receive the clean and calibrated bean, achieving a product with a particular brightness and typical of the variety.Then by electronic machines, in general Monochromatic to discard the stained grains, both strong and light.
