Profile

We are growers and processors of finest quality peanuts
in India. Our ideology of supplying only the best quality
peanuts presents us as a committed and trustworthy
partner of the peanut trade industry. We take pride in
our state-of-the-art ISO:22000:2005 certified processing
plant where all of our products are cleaned, shelled,
sorted, graded, and packed
without ever being
exposed to any kind of human touch. We are the first in
the country to implement in-house aflatoxin testing on
a continuous basis from raw material to finished
product. The plant has peanuts processing capacity in
excess of 120 metric tones per day.
We value our close ties with our buyers and importers.
We recognize the significance of the quality assurance that we guarantee to all our customers. Our procurement
experts select regions of farm from which the peanuts are procured according to the type/variety of ground nut,
type of soil and amount of average rainfall. This is very important for getting aflatoxin free peanuts. Selected farm
produce are even procured in bulk from various APMC (Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee) by experts.
India is the second largest producer of peanuts in the world.
Annual production of peanuts in India exceed 6 million metric tonnes. The two major varieties of peanuts
produced in India are Bold (Virginia) and Java (Spanish) types. Our annual processing capacity of peanuts exceeds
45,000 M.T.
The winter (kharif ) crop of peanuts is rain-fed crop whereas the summer (rabi) crop is irrigated. 70% of the winter
crop is the bold variety and 85% of the summer crop is Java variety
The Bold variety peanuts are typically reddish pink skinned with elongated shape. The Java variety peanuts are pink
skinned with round spheroid shape.
Groundnuts are differentiated in mainly two types for export:

The Processing Unit
Our state-of-the-art ISO:22000:2005 certified processing plant where peanuts are cleaned, shelled, sorted,
graded, and packed without ever being exposed to any kind of human touch.
This unit is first and biggest of its kind in India, with peanut processing capacity in excess of 120 metric tonnes
per day. It is equipped with latest sorting, grading and cleaning machines from Germany, U.K. and Switzerland.
The peanuts remains free from human touch while it passes through more than 11 different processes. We call
this our 11+ Process.
Our processing unit is a completely integrated
closed-circuit unit where peanuts passes through
more than 11 different processes of shelling,
cleaning, grading, optical sorting, metal separation,
de-stoning, magnetic separation, aspiration, lab
inspection, automatic packing and others. At each
stage of the process a different kind of impurity is
removed from the peanuts resulting in peanuts
that are free from any kind of possible impurities.
The whole process remains mechanical and free
from human touch thus eliminating the chance of
any external contamination.
The unit is ISO:22000:2005 certified.
The Process
Stage 1 - Classification of inshells :
Only Kanbi products passes through
more than 11 different processes for
uniform grading, optical sorting and
automatic packing.

Our procurement experts select regions of farm from which
the peanuts are procured according to the type/variety of
ground nut, type of soil and amount of average rainfall. This is
very important for getting aflatoxin free in shell. Selected farm
produce are even procured in bulk from various APMC
(Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee) by experts.
Quality Check :
It is essential to have a full-proof system which can receive,
clean, store peanuts within a very short time, particularly
during the harvest season. Each lot of peanuts that come to
our unit is tested and analyzed in our in-house lab mainly for
aflatoxin, yield, moisture, and FFA etc.
Classification of Inshell :
The inshells are separated from dust, mud, stones, stalks, leaves,
shriveled and undeveloped pods and small inshells in a
Classifier Separator.
De-Stoning :
The heavy stones and mud balls are removed in the de-stoner.
Classification of
Kernels
Magnetic
Separation
De-stoning
Visual Sorting :
The uniform sized inshells are checked visually for removal of
damaged and discolored inshells.
Magnetic Separation :
Vibro Grading
Bichromatic
Colour Sorting
Aspiration
The ferrous impurities like nails, nuts, bolts etc. are separated by
Magnetic Separator.
Shellers :
Uniform Gradation
Online Computerized
Packing
Metal
Separation
Lab Analysis
Online Auto
Sampling
Loading
& Stuffing
The inshells are shelled and separates kernels and shells.
Classification of pods and kernels :
The inshells/pods and very small kernels are separated from
good kernels. The peanuts are then sent to intake bins for stage
2 of the process.
Stage 2 - Cleaning, grading, sorting &
packing of kernels :
Intake bins :
The peanuts are bought into this bins through Z type bucket
elevators. This bucket elevators transports the peanuts from
one machine to other avoiding scooping through out both
stages of process.
Classification :
At this stage impurities such as straw , sand, small stones,
paper etc. are removed by classifier separator.
Magnetic Separation :
Ferrous impurities are separated in this stage of process using
by powerful magnets.
De-stoning :
Destoners separates stones from a continuous product
stream. Reliable removable of high density impurities such as
stone and pieces of metal and glass is achieved on the basis of
differences in specific gravity.
Vibro-grading :
Heavy duty vibro-grading machine is used for grading of
granular material in to a heavy mixed and light fraction e.g.
removing impure matter such as shriveled kernels, ergot, light
kernels, pods etc. by grading the peanuts in to a heavy mixed
and light fraction.
Bichromatic Colour Sorting :
The peanuts then passes the process of optical inspection by
which contaminants such as discolored peanuts, rot, dark
peanuts and foreign materials are removed from final
product. We use Sortex machine (Z+3BL) for this process: It is
combination of the most advanced cameras and a shape
recognition identifier that identifies the widest range of
foreign material, extraneous matter , smaller spot defects ,
finer product damage and subtler colours.
Aspiration :
A good aspirations system is vital for efficient operation of
plant and for maintaining sanitation in the plant. Our aspiration
system is integrated and engineered to match the equipment
of the processing plant.
Uniform Grading :
Grading is the process of separating out broken kernels and
grading the nuts in 5 different uniform size by diameter and
thickness. This is achieved using two classifiers.
Metal Separation :
Online metal separator detects and separates any kind of
metallic foreign material before packing of the final product.
Online Auto Sampling :
Samples are automatically drawn for analysis from a
continuous process stream. The samples are tested in our
in-house laboratory for mycotoxins, especially aflatoxin.
We are the first in the country to implement in-house aflatoxin
testing on a continuous basis from raw material to finished
product.
Online Computerized Packing :
Jute bags, food grade HDPP bags, woven PP bags and jumbo
tote bags packing options available. Online computerized
packing from 5 kgs. to 1000 kgs. bags is possible.
Lab Analysis :
The peanuts are sent for its final analysis to our in-house
laboratory. Here it goes through various stages of tests to
determine the highest quality. Our in-house lab is equipped
with the most modern testing equipments
and aflatoxin testing machines.
Loading and stuffing :
All our peanuts that are exported are stuffed into the containers
at the factory. Utmost care and attention is given to loading and
stuffing of peanuts into the container to ensure the delivery of
the peanuts in complete, clean and undamaged condition.
