Production line and factory setup overview
A standalone line for cleaning Afghan wheat, removing stones and light kernels, grading by size and packing food-grade or seed wheat.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start at 1-3 t/h with an air-screen cleaner, destoner, gravity separator and 25-50 kg bagger; add color sorting or seed treatment only when the target market requires it.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Wheat intake and sampling
- Pre-cleaning and aspiration
- Destoning and magnetic separation
- Gravity separation
- Size grading
- Optional hand inspection
- Weighing, bag closing and lot coding
Products, capacity and market fit
- Cleaning raises the consistency and saleability of Afghan wheat before milling or trade.
- The line can serve farmers, grain collectors, mills, wholesalers and institutional buyers.
- Broken, light and foreign fractions are separated rather than shipped as paid weight.
- A modular plant can add color sorting or seed treatment after stable contracts are secured.
- Clean food wheat - Foreign matter and moisture to buyer agreement - Flour mills, traders and institutions
- Graded wheat - Defined size and density fractions - Premium food-grain contracts
- Seed wheat - Only after varietal, germination and regulatory approval - Licensed agricultural channels
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Intake hopper and elevator | Receives bags and feeds the line steadily | Guarded pit or above-floor hopper |
| Air-screen cleaner | Removes dust, chaff and over/undersize impurities | 1-3 t/h entry screens for local wheat |
| Destoner | Separates stones with similar grain size | Adjustable air and deck settings |
| Magnetic separator | Removes ferrous contamination | Accessible before sensitive machines |
| Gravity separator | Rejects light, shriveled and damaged kernels | Supplier trial on representative wheat |
| Vibration grader | Classifies cleaned wheat by size | Interchangeable screens for buyer grades |
| Dust collector and ducts | Controls aspiration dust and housekeeping load | Explosion-aware design and safe discharge |
| Weighing and bag-closing station | Fills, sews or seals saleable bags | 25-50 kg semi-automatic entry scope |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Afghan wheat lots with supplier and origin records
- Food-grade or seed-grade bags as applicable
- Thread, labels and coding consumables
- Seed-treatment chemical only in a separately approved seed operation
- Stable three-phase electricity
- Dust extraction and weather-protected intake
- Dry ventilated grain and finished-bag storage
- Calibrated moisture meter, scales and sampling tools
- Pest control, fire protection and safe truck circulation
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner, destoner and elevators | US$9k-20k | Simple 1-3 t/h configuration |
| Gravity separator and grader | US$6k-14k | Add only stages justified by buyer quality |
| Dust collection and bagging | US$4k-10k | Semi-automatic 25-50 kg bags |
| Electrical, local installation and spares | US$3k-8k | Local platforms where safely engineered |
| Freight and clearance | US$4k-10k | Container count follows final layout |
| Indicative low-entry total | US$26k-62k | Color sorter, building and wheat stock excluded |
