The manufacturing processes are designed to provide consistent quality and flavor-locked products to retain their flavor and aroma.
Some of the important manufacturing machinery used at ECPL:
Chilly Grinding Mill from Germany (1.5 tons per hour)
Compared with conventional grinders, these machines powder raw materials at low temperature that keeps the original flavor of chilli intact. This ensures that consistency and natural colour and product fineness is maintained.
Coriander Grinding Mill from Germany (1 ton per hour)
This machine ensures trouble-free, ultra-fine grinding at low temperatures which help to keep the original flavor of coriander intact.
Additionally, modern high-quality Impex / BR Pulverizers with a capacity of 2.5 tons per hour are also used for powdering.
For Cleaning
The first-quality raw materials sourced are cleaned, using the latest machinery.
Buhler and Forsberg machine:
This includes de-stoners, aspirators, picking belt and magnetic separators that ensure raw material free from
insect contamination or any other foreign matter.
Warehousing
