Complete turnkey onion and garlic dehydration plants — washing, peeling, slicing, multi-stage drying and powder milling — producing export-grade flakes, granules and powder with 12–24 month shelf life.
From freshly harvested bulb to packaged export-grade flakes, granules or powder — a fully integrated 6-stage dehydration process designed for color, flavour and microbial quality retention.
Onions/garlic received from farms, sorted to remove rotten/damaged bulbs, washed in flotation tanks & rotary brushes
Mechanical or pneumatic top/tail trimmers; abrasive or air-blast peelers remove skins to expose clean white flesh
Adjustable slicers cut to 5–8 mm thickness; inspection belt removes off-grade pieces, foreign matter and stems
Continuous belt dryer in 5–7 zones reduces moisture from ~90% to ≤8% — temperature-staged for color, flavour & pungency retention
Vibratory sifters grade dried product into kibble, chopped, minced, granules and powder fractions
Hammer mills produce fine powder; auto-bagging in 25 kg sacks, 200 kg drums or aseptic flexitank for export
Our turnkey package covers the complete dehydration line — from raw bulb intake to packaged dehydrated product. The same platform produces flakes, granules and powder with capability for both onion and garlic from a single line.
All wetted parts are food-grade SS304 stainless steel. The plant is designed for export-grade microbial counts, color & flavour standards demanded by international buyers in spice, food and pharma sectors.
Onions from Egypt, Sudan, Morocco and garlic from Egypt, Kenya have varying pungency and moisture. Our drying curves are calibrated to your bulb to retain color and flavour.
5–7 temperature zones progressively reduce moisture without scorching — preserving white color (onion) or off-white (garlic), pungency and active sulphur compounds.
Dehydrated onion/garlic to international microbial, pesticide and color standards — buyers in EU, USA, GCC, Japan accept Vezora-processed product directly.
Heat recovery on dryer exhausts, multi-stage condensate recovery and zoned heating reduce per-ton drying cost — critical given the high specific energy demand of dehydration.
Single plant produces kibble, chopped, minced, granules and powder of both onion and garlic — capturing premium spice, ready-meal and food-processor segments.
Stainless-steel construction, CIP-ready piping, dust-controlled milling area and HEPA-filtered packing — meeting HACCP, BRC and IFS expectations.
