A Dhal Cutter Machine, more commonly referred to as a Dal Mill or Dal Splitter, is a mechanical device used to process raw pulses (like lentils, chickpeas, and peas) by removing their outer husk (dehusking) and splitting them into edible halves. The process involves several stages and can be achieved in various scales, from mini-mills for home use to large, fully automated industrial plants. Core Function and Process The primary function is to transform raw, whole pulses into clean, split dal for consumption or sale. The typical processing workflow involves: Pre-milling Treatment: Raw pulses may undergo conditioning, such as soaking with water and applying oil, followed by sun drying or mechanical drying to loosen the husk's attachment to the cotyledons. Dehusking and Splitting: The treated pulses are fed into the machine, where they pass between abrasive surfaces (like a rotating cast iron disc and a stationary rubber pad, or emery rollers) to scratch, crack, dehusk, and split the grain. Separation and Grading: Integrated mechanisms such as sieves, screens, blowers, and gravity separators then separate the desired split dal from the removed husks, dust, broken pieces, and other impurities. Polishing (Optional): Some commercial operations use a polishing unit (often a leather or nylon-based roller system) to enhance the final product's appearance and give it a shiny finish. Key Specifications Specifications vary widely based on the machine's scale and intended use. Capacity: Ranges from small-scale units of 20 kg/hr to large industrial plants processing several tons per hour. Power: Small machines can run on a single-phase 0.5 HP to 3 HP electric motor, while large industrial setups may require significant power (e.g., a 120 HP motor for a 2 TPH plant). Material: Often constructed from durable materials like mild steel (MS) with stainless steel (SS) contact parts to ensure food safety and longevity. Automation: Available in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic models. Mobility: Many smaller and medium-sized units are designed with wheels for easy movement and repositioning within a facility. Benefits Efficiency: Automates a labor-intensive process, significantly increasing productivity compared to manual methods. Quality Control: Ensures a high-quality, uniform final product by effectively removing impurities and minimizing breakage. Versatility: Compatible with various pulses, including toor, chana, moong, urad, and masoor. Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces manual labor costs and minimizes product wastage.
