Daal Washer
Batch Type Daal
Washer (200 to 500 kg capacity) is an essential pre-processing machine for any
Daal Mill or Namkeen plant. It is designed to remove dust, chemical residues,
and mud from the surface of various pulses like Moong, Chana, and Masoor.
For a batch of 500
kg, the machine is typically built as a heavy-duty cylindrical or rectangular
tank with a specialized internal agitation system.

2. Working
Mechanism
- Tumbling Action: A central horizontal
shaft fitted with SS Paddles rotates at a slow, constant speed (approx.
40–60 RPM). This ensures the daal grains rub against each other,
effectively "scrubbing" off the dirt without breaking the grain.
- Water Circulation: Fresh water enters from
the top through a perforated pipe. The dirty water, containing mud and
light impurities, is discharged through a large-diameter bottom valve or a
side overflow weir.
- Tilting Discharge: Since 500 kg of wet
daal is extremely heavy, these machines are equipped with a Mechanical
Gear or Hydraulic Tilting system. This allows the operator to tilt the
entire drum to empty the washed daal into a collection trolley.
3. Key Advantages
for Large Batches
- Gearbox Drive: Uses a Reduction Gearbox
(Helical or Worm type) to provide high torque. This allows the machine to
start and rotate even when fully loaded with 500 kg of dense material.
- Hygienic Design: All parts in contact with
water and daal are mirror-polished SS 304 to prevent rusting and bacterial
buildup.
- Low Water Consumption: Modern washers are
designed to clean the maximum amount of grain with minimum water by using
high-pressure spray nozzles.
