The Essential Guide to Teff Cleaning with JAPS Engineering

 Teff, also known as injera, is a tiny grass seed with a significant impact on both agriculture and cuisine. Known for its versatility, Teff is used in various forms, from horse feed to human consumption. One of its most famous applications is in making Teff flour, which is essential for creating the Ethiopian staple, injera – a gluten-free pancake-like bread that is enjoyed with stews.

Teff’s popularity extends beyond Ethiopia, finding its way into the kitchens of Japan, America, Germany, and the Netherlands, where it is often used in biscuits. As global demand for Teff continues to rise, ensuring that the seeds are properly cleaned and processed is critical to maintaining its quality and nutritional value. This is where JAPS Engineering steps in with a comprehensive Teff cleaning solution.

The Importance of Proper Teff Cleaning

Cleaning Teff seeds is not just about removing impurities; it’s about preserving the integrity of the seeds and ensuring that the final product is of the highest possible quality. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:

1. Initial Cleaning with JAPS Roll Sieves:
   • First Pass: After harvesting with a combine harvester, the raw product is passed through a JAPS roll sieve. This initial cleaning step is crucial for removing the largest grass stalks and husks that are mixed with the seeds during harvesting.
   • Second Pass: The product is then put through a second JAPS roll sieve, equipped with four different grades of sieves. This stage targets the removal of finer impurities:
     • The first sieve removes dust and sand.
     • The second sieve catches any remaining weeds.
     • The third sieve allows only the small-sized Teff seeds to pass through.
     • The fourth and final sieve sorts the good seeds, leaving behind any remaining stalks, weeds, and chaff.

2. Advanced Cleaning with JAPS Aspirator Cleaner:

1. • The cleaned seeds then undergo further purification using a JAPS aspirator cleaner. This machine uses airflow to separate any remaining dust and very light chaff from the seeds, ensuring a cleaner and purer final product.

3. Stone Removal with JAPS Magnetic Destoner:

1. • Stones can be a significant problem in Teff seeds. To tackle this, the seeds are passed through a JAPS magnetic destoner, which effectively removes stones, ensuring that only the best seeds move forward in the process.

4. Final Cleaning and Bagging:

1. • After stone removal, the seeds undergo one last pass through the JAPS aspirator cleaner. This final cleaning step ensures that the Teff seeds are in optimal condition before they are bagged.
   • The cleaned seeds are then weighed and packed using a JAPS auger bagger, available in 25 kg or 50 kg bags, or even 1000 kg bulk bags for export purposes. The bags are stitched to secure the product for transport and storage.

5. Dust Extraction:

1. • Given the fine nature of the dust produced during the cleaning process, a dust extraction system is essential. This system helps maintain a clean working environment and ensures the safety and efficiency of the plant.

6. Teff Flour Production:

1. • Once the Teff seeds are thoroughly cleaned, they can be processed into flour using various milling methods, including hammermills, pin mills, or grinding stone mills. This flour is then used to make injera or other Teff-based products, ready for consumption.
