Chickpeas Cleaning Equipment

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are widely cultivated in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and increasingly in global markets driven by plant-based food production. Their relatively large size, irregular shape, and susceptibility to mechanical damage create unique processing challenges. Cleaning equipment must handle these characteristics while achieving high impurity removal efficiency.

Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides chickpeas cleaning equipment designed to process various chickpea varieties—Kabuli types with smooth surfaces and Desi types with rough and angular shapes. These differing morphologies require an adaptable processing system capable of handling variable grain properties.

The cleaning line typically begins with a pre-cleaning stage that removes larger debris such as sticks, leaves, pods, and soil clumps. Rotary or oscillating screen machines with large apertures are used to eliminate coarse impurities. This stage reduces the burden on subsequent sorting equipment and extends component service life.

Once the chickpeas enter the fine cleaning section, air separation is performed. Chickpeas often carry a considerable amount of lightweight impurities, including dried skins, dust, and immature undersized kernels. Adjustable airflow channels allow operators to fine-tune separation efficiency based on moisture content and grain density.

Screening units classify chickpeas by size, ensuring uniformity for downstream processing such as polishing, color sorting, or packaging. Multi-layer screening decks allow precise grading while minimizing breakage. The equipment’s structure incorporates vibration control technology to maintain stable movement across the sieves.

Stone removal is another critical element of chickpea cleaning. Because chickpeas grow close to the soil surface, harvested material often contains small stones or soil fragments of similar density. A gravity separator or destoner uses airflow and deck vibration to separate high-density impurities. Advanced designs include fine airflow control to accommodate different moisture levels, which can affect chickpea fluidization behavior.

Optional additional modules include magnetic separators, broken-grain sorting units, aspiration systems, and automatic bagging systems. Dust and husk collection are important for maintaining a clean production environment and complying with safety regulations.

Modern chickpea cleaning equipment integrates automated monitoring features that track moisture, flow rate, screen loading, and air volume. By integrating smart control systems, operators can maintain stable product quality while reducing manual adjustments.

Whether serving seed processing plants, food processors, or exporters, equipment from Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides a high-capacity, continuous cleaning solution that supports consistent chickpea quality and efficient post-harvest management.
