Stage 1: Impurities cleaning process:
- Pepper material is inserted into hopper and bucket conveyor to loading into PRE-CLEANER to Removing extraneous matter or impurities through careful, Large fan enhance separating effect., Dust and immature grain and remove by aspirator.
- Pre-cleaning Impurities working based on aerodynamic principles, the principle of separating the principle of weight and divide the volume. Therefore, screening of impurities can be separated for about 90% of impurities in pepper and include smaller impurities pepper, pepper larger impurities and pepper lighter impurities (including dust).
- In addition, equipped with magnetic system, the machine also works to separate the steel and raw materials. Pepper after leaving raw material impurities sieve sizes ranging from 2.5 mm to 6.5 mm.
Stage 2: Sort by size
- After separating impurities, pepper was a bucket moved into grading machine, working base on vibration and size net of Sieving to classification with
• Particle size from F2,5mm – F4,5mm
• Particle size from F4,5mm – F4,9mm
• Particle size from F4,9mm – F5,5mm
• And the larger particle size F5,5mm
• Particle size from F4,5mm – F4,9mm
• Particle size from F4,9mm – F5,5mm
• And the larger particle size F5,5mm
- Pepper has been classified into four size container. From 4 to this container, we can mix the nuts at the request of finished products for export or continue being processed.
Stage 3: Removing stone
- In graded Pepper still have mixer some stone the same size pepper.
- Stone emoving process works on the principle difference in the proportion of the size of pepper. Pepper will be a slightly more elevated air flow forms a parallel flow to flow out of mesh. Meanwhile heavier stones falling star collisions with the sides of the groove and dance mesh back later to escape.
- Stage 4: Classification by aerodynamics
Pepper after leaving the hotel stone splitting machines or removing stone, it is have same size but different weight, so need grading by grading by weight of pepper - Through bucket conveyor Pepper was put into a sorting by through called Catador. In this device has an airflow from the bottom up vertically. Therefore, the sponge and mild peppers will be raised and get out there to make the suspended particles and are separated in a different way.
Air flow traffic catador adjusted depending on the quality of pepper.
Stage 5: Classification proportion by spiral
- Pepper after the cleaning process, categorized by size, separation and classification of hotel stone aerodynamic different still shapes: round or dented or distorted and the stalks pepper.
- Sorter spiral shape is formed by the bulkhead spiral around a vertical axis. Mixes include pepper pepper bead deformation and loaded into the mouth on the sorter.
- Because diarrhea particles spiral down vertically under the action of gravity. The circular particle accelerator spins should gradually increase to a point where we spin the tilt bulkhead located outer edge and are separated, while the particle movement in free fall on the spiral troughs being higher friction rate particle flow in circular no. Thus the particles closer yield strain of the spiral shaft and taken out
Stage 6: Wash and process microbiology by steam
- To eliminate harmful microorganisms especially salmonella, it uses steam at pressures from 2 ÷ 3 kg / cm2 at temperatures of 1200 C – 1400 C to pepper spray in the shortest time (about 20 – 40 paper).
- In the process of steam absorbs pepper blank conveyed through water extraction system before drying.
Stage 7: Drying
- Drying system uses two consecutive levels of two drying towers floors: floor and floors dried input. The capacity was adjusted pepper suit material moisture content to achieve high performance through bonds discharge screw system.
- To ensure the scent of pepper, heating systems using gas burners with automatic gas combustion nozzles ensure labor safety system and fire.
Stage 8: Cooling after drying and sorting
- After drying, the pepper was put into a container cooled and again passed through catador pepper to separate impurities including dust and pepper crust arising after the drying process. After that pepper is brought into the shape sorter spiral (2nd).
Stage 9: Scales, automatic dosing
- Pepper finished product is put into containers for storage or to be put on automatic weighing systems as required quantify.
Scales quantitative automated control electronic system that displays the number from 30-60kg tolerance of ± 45g / 50kg, yield 200bao / hour.
How To Grow Black Pepper
How To Grow Black Pepper
Here’s how to grow black pepper, the fruit of the Piper nigrum plant. Also known as peppercorns, black pepper is the world’s most popular spice. Piper nigrum is a tropical vining plant that grows 12 feet tall in its native India. While only suitable to the hottest parts of North America, it can be a fun, exotic plant to grow in the home garden.
WHERE TO GROW
The peppercorn plant can be grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 10 and 11. It prefers hot, humid and tropical climates and can not tolerate areas where temperatures drop below 60° F. In cooler areas, grow black pepper in a container and overwinter it indoors or in a greenhouse.
Plant Piper nigrum in the partial shade, with dappled sun light. You’ll want to grow it near a fence, trellis or similar support structure on which the vines may climb. In doors, it may work in a hanging planter with the vines draping down toward the floor.
WHEN TO PLANT
Plant black pepper when soil temperatures are at least 75° F or start it indoors year round. Transplant outside in the spring if possible when conditions are mild.

BEST SOIL FOR GROWING BLACK PEPPER
Black pepper needs rich soil that drains easily. A fertile potting mix works great. Garden soil should be amended with lots of compost. Plant in raised beds for better drainage. Soil pH is optimal at 5.5-7.0.

PLANTING
Soak your black pepper seeds in water for 24 hours prior to planting. Sow seeds very lightly, only about ¼ inch below the surface of the soil and about 3 inches apart. Moisten carefully with a spray bottle. Keep the soil moist and warm until the seeds germinate about 30 days later. Place them on top of a radiator or refrigerator if possible to help keep them warm. Move to indirect sunlight once they sprout. Transplant the healthiest seedlings outside or to larger growing pots when they are 4 to 6 inches high.

WATERING & CARE
Keep the soil constantly moist for good results. Mist regularly with a spray bottle to keep a humid environment. Water container plants even more often as they will dry out fast. No need to keep the soil sopping wet but don’t let it completely dry out between each watering either.

Provide a fence or trellis for the black pepper vines, which may reach about 15 feet long. Indoors, grow them in a hanging pot so the vines can spread out.
Fertilize every spring with a well balanced organic fertilizer. Fertilize house plants every four weeks.
DISEASE & PET CONTROL
Pepper plants are not susceptible to many pests or disease if they are well taken care of. Plant them in high quality soil and do not over or under water. Blast off pests with a hose. Use organic sprays if bugs appear to be a nuisance. Remove diseased or infested foliage from the garden.

HARVEST
Peppercorns can sometimes be harvested starting about one year after planting, but most will take 3 to 4 years to develop. First, flowers will appear throughout the spring and summer. Fruit will begin to form shortly after in clusters. They will ripen from green to red and can be harvested at these different stages. Most gardeners will harvest peppercorns when they begin to turn red.

Black Pepper
Introduction
Dark pepper(Piper nigrum L.), the lord of flavors, has a place with the family Piperaceae. It is acquired from the enduring climbing vine, Piper nigrum which is indigenous to the tropical timberlands of Western Ghats of South India. It is one of the critical and most punctual known flavors created and sent out from India. India represents 54% of the aggregate region under pepper on the planet however its offer of creation is just 26.6 %.
It is a climbing evergreen plant and develops to a stature of 10 m or more. The vines branch on a level plane from the modes and don't accomplish length, however the completely developed vines totally cover the standard displaying the presence of hedge. The leaves are comprehensively lanceolate, yet wide varieties happen fit as a fiddle and are orchestrated on the other hand. The inflorescence is a catkin created at the hubs inverse to the upper clears out. Blooms are exact moment. Monoecious or dioecious or hermophrodite frames happen in various assortments. The natural product is a solitary seeded berry, which has a thin,soft pericarp surriounding the seed. It takes around a half year to develop in the wake of blooming. Some of the time, spike shedding jumps out at the degree of 14 to 65 % causing extensive misfortune. Showering of IAA 50 ppm or planofix 50 ppm and orzinc 0.5 % at the season of berry setting stage diminishes spike shedding.
Climate and soil Requirement
Pepper is a damp tropic plant, which requires satisfactory precipitation and mugginess. The hot and muggy atmosphere of submountanous tracts of Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats is perfect for its development. It develops effectively between 20o north and south scope and from ocean level upto 1500 meters above MSL. The temperature extends in the vicinity of 10o and 40oC. A very much dispersed yearly precipitation of 125-200 cm is viewed as perfect for pepper.
Pepper can be developed in an extensive variety of soils, for example, mud topsoil, red topsoil, sandy soil and lateritic soils with a pH of 4.5 to 6.0, however in its regular living space, it flourishes best on virgin soil rich in natural issue.
Assortments
Lion's share of the developed sorts of pepper are monoecious. More than 75 cultivars of pepper are being developed in India. Karimunda is the most well known of all the set up cultivars of pepper among the cultivators of Kerala. The other essential cultivars are Kottanadan, Narayakkodi, Aimpiriyan, Neelamundi, Kuthiravally, Balancotta, Kalluvally, Malligesara and Uddagare.
Engendering
Pepper is engendered by cuttings raised for the most part from the sprinter shoots. Cuttings from the sidelong branches are at times utilized, since notwithstanding diminishment in the quantity of fruiting shoots, the vines raised from them are by and large brief and shaggy in propensity. In any case, established parallel branches are helpful in bringing pepper up in pots.
Sprinter shoots from high yielding and solid vines are kept curled on wooden pegs settled at the base of the vine to keep the shoots from interacting with soil and striking roots. The sprinter shoots are isolated from the vine in February-March and subsequent to trimming the leaves, cuttings of 2 to 3 hubs each are planted either in nursery beds or polythene sacks loaded with ripe soil. Cuttings from center 1/3 of the shoots are attractive as they are high yielding. Sufficient shade is to be given and flooded every now and again. The cuttings will strike pulls and wind up noticeably prepared for planting in May-June.
