Description

Looking for a dependable besan making machine manufacturer in Delhi, India? Our commercial besan making machine, also referred to as a gram flour mill or chickpea flour grinding machine, is purpose-built to produce smooth, fine besan from chana dal, roasted chana, or whole bengal gram at industrial throughput levels. Used by besan manufacturers, sweet shops, snack producers, and flour mills, this machine delivers the consistent, lump-free gram flour that Indian kitchens and food businesses demand.

Introduction and Overview

Besan, or gram flour made from ground chana dal, is one of the most versatile ingredients in Indian cooking. It is used to make pakoras, bhajias, laddoos, barfi, dhokla, kadhi, and countless other dishes across every Indian cuisine. The besan market in India is substantial, with both loose unbranded besan sold through local flour mills and packaged branded besan sold through retail chains and online platforms. For manufacturers producing besan at commercial scale, the grinding machine determines the quality of the final product. Besan must be ground to a very fine, silky texture without lumps, and it should retain the characteristic yellow color and nutty aroma of chana dal. Our besan making machine is engineered specifically for these requirements, with grinding parameters optimized for the hardness and oil content of chickpea-derived ingredients.

Key Features

The machine uses a specialized grinding system that handles the unique characteristics of chana dal, which is harder than wheat but more oily than most grains. A heavy-duty hammer mill or roller mill with hardened grinding elements reduces the dal to fine powder in a controlled manner that prevents excessive heat buildup, which would cause the natural oils in besan to turn rancid. An integrated cooling system, either air-based or water-jacketed, maintains grinding temperature within acceptable limits. A vibrating screen or air classifier at the output separates fine besan from any under-ground particles, which are returned for further processing. Grinding fineness is adjustable from 60 mesh for coarse besan used in pakoras to 150 mesh for ultra-fine besan used in delicate sweets. A magnetic separator at the feed inlet removes any metal contamination from the dal. The machine body uses food-grade stainless steel on all product-contact surfaces. Production capacity ranges from 50 kg to 250 kg per hour.

How It Works

Cleaned and sifted chana dal or roasted chana is loaded into the hopper. The material passes through the magnetic separator and enters the grinding chamber. High-speed rotating hammers or roller surfaces impact the dal, progressively breaking it down. The cooling system absorbs frictional heat during this process. Ground material exits the chamber and passes over a vibrating screen or through an air classifier. Fine besan particles pass through and are collected in bags or bins. Coarser particles that do not meet the fineness specification are recycled back into the grinding chamber for additional processing. The system achieves uniform, fine besan in a single pass for most applications, with recirculation handling any residual coarse fraction.

Applications and Industries

This machine is used by besan mills that produce bulk gram flour for wholesale distribution, packaged food companies that sell branded besan in retail packaging, sweet shops and mithai manufacturers who use besan as a primary ingredient in ladoo, barfi, and halwa, snack manufacturers who produce pakora mixes, bhujia, sev, and other besan-based namkeen, health food companies that use besan in protein-rich product formulations, and export-oriented flour processors who ship besan to Indian grocery markets abroad. The machine is also valuable for multi-product flour mills that grind wheat atta, maida, sooji, and besan for local customers.

Benefits

The dedicated besan grinding configuration produces a noticeably superior product compared to using a general-purpose flour mill. The fineness is more uniform, the color is better preserved because of controlled temperature, and the aroma remains intact because essential oils are not degraded by excessive heat. High throughput means the machine can handle large dal lots efficiently, reducing turnaround time for bulk orders. The integrated classification system eliminates the need for a separate sieving step, saving floor space and labor. The magnetic separator provides an important safety check, especially when processing dal sourced from multiple suppliers where metal contamination risk exists.

Maintenance and Care

Inspect hammer or roller surfaces for wear every 200 operating hours and replace as a set when grinding performance degrades. Clean the grinding chamber after every shift to remove residual besan, which can absorb moisture and become sticky if left in the chamber. Wipe down the vibrating screen or clean the air classifier filter elements regularly to maintain separation efficiency. Check the magnetic separator and clear collected debris after each use. Lubricate bearings and drive components per the maintenance schedule. Inspect the cooling system for proper operation. If using water-jacketed cooling, check for leaks monthly. Keep the collection bags or bins clean and dry to prevent moisture absorption by the finished besan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between grinding besan and grinding wheat? Chana dal is harder and oilier than wheat. A machine optimized for wheat grinding may produce overheated, oily besan with poor texture. Our besan making machine has grinding parameters and cooling capacity specifically tuned for the properties of chana dal.

How much besan can this machine produce per hour? Capacity ranges from 50 kg to 250 kg per hour depending on the model and the desired fineness. Finer grinding requires more energy and slightly lower throughput. Contact our Delhi factory at +91 8588856870 for model-specific capacity data.

What is the price of a besan making machine? Pricing depends on the capacity, grinding mechanism, cooling system, and classifier type. For an accurate quotation, call our Nangloi Delhi factory at +91 8588856870 or send us your requirements via message.

Can this machine also grind roasted chana for sattu? Yes, the machine handles roasted chana effectively and produces sattu-quality flour. The cooling system is particularly beneficial for roasted chana, which is more prone to heat-related quality degradation.
