Pulses Processing or dal milling, involves a series of steps to prepare pulses for consumption. The process begins with loosening the husk using pre-treatment methods like pitting, conditioning,water/oil treatment to weaken the seed Coat attached to the Cotyledon.
This is Achieved through modern de-skinner Machine, where the husk is mechanically removed using techniques like abrasion, friction.
Finally, the grain is split into two equal halves using Fataka Machine (Impact) or Chakki Mill (Shear), ensuring effective splitting with controlled Edges.
In General, “The removal of the outer Skin (Seed coat) and splitting the grain (Cotyledon) into two equal halves is known as milling of pulses’’
