When buyers judge a bag of Chana Dal, the first thing they notice is how clean and even it looks. That appearance is not luck. A big part of it comes from a step called Sortex sorting.

What is Sortex sorting?

Sortex is a type of optical sorting machine. As the dal passes through, cameras scan every grain at high speed. Anything that does not match, such as off-colour grain, broken pieces, stones or foreign material, is removed automatically with a quick puff of air.

The result is a product where nearly every grain matches in colour and size. That consistency is what makes dal look premium on the shelf.

Why it matters for your business

For a wholesaler or food maker, clean dal is not only about looks. It means:

• Fewer impurities and less waste for your customers.
• A more uniform cook, which matters for food businesses.
• A premium appearance that supports a better price.

The Shayona approach

At Shayona Agro, every batch of Chana Dal is Sortex cleaned as part of our process, along with checks from raw Bengal Gram selection through to final packing. It is one of the reasons our grain stays consistent, batch after batch.
