Pulses are one of the most important sources of plant-based protein for millions of people across India and globally, with toor, urad, moong, and channa accounting for the largest share of dal consumption in the country. Converting raw pulse grains into clean, split, market-ready dal requires a carefully designed milling process that efficiently removes the outer husk, splits the grain into two clean cotyledons, and grades the output by size and quality — all while minimising powder losses and maximising overall dal recovery.

At Grain Master, we set up complete pulse milling plants tailored to the specific characteristics of each pulse variety. Toor dal, urad, moong, and channa each have distinct husk properties, grain hardness, and moisture sensitivity that require different pre-treatment methods before the actual milling operation. Our plants incorporate the most suitable pre-treatment process for each pulse — whether wet treatment using water and conditioning agents or dry treatment using oil application and sun drying — to loosen the husk effectively before de-husking. This ensures maximum husk removal in fewer passes, reducing energy consumption and improving dal yield.

The full milling line we install covers every stage of the dal production process — starting with raw pulse cleaning and de-stoning to remove foreign matter, followed by pre-treatment, roller-based de-husking, splitting, aspiration to remove husk and powder, grading by size and quality, polishing for improved appearance, and finally automatic weighing and packing. Our plants are designed for high operational efficiency with up to 95% milling recovery, low maintenance requirements, and simple operator controls that allow reliable day-to-day operation. We deliver complete turnkey pulse milling solutions for both single-commodity and multi-commodity processing lines.
