Clean it.

Our state of the art facility has a pre-cleaner rotary drum, airstream cleaner, destoner, magnetic separator, gravity table, polisher and optical color sorter. Each machine allows us to keep what we want and get rid of anything we don’t. At the end, we achieve a pure lot of food grade product.
