Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about our consultancy services.
Average kernel extraction rate is 20-25% by weight of RCN. So 1 MT of RCN yields approximately 200-250 kg of processed kernels. Quality of RCN and processing efficiency directly impact this ratio.
WW240 (White Whole 240 kernels per pound) is the most premium grade, followed by WW320 and WW450. Our shelling line design aims to maximize whole kernel recovery to achieve premium grade yields.
A small unit processes 1-3 MT of RCN per day using semi-manual and mechanical equipment. Medium-scale facilities process 5-10 MT/day. We design capacity based on budget, labor, and market access.
For export: APEDA registration, FSSAI Export License, and aflatoxin/moisture testing. EU export needs pesticide residue compliance. US markets require FDA registration and FSMA FSVP compliance.
