Yes, Shramajeevi Modern Industries is a registered manufacturing enterprise. Our machines comply with relevant BIS and industry standards for agricultural processing equipment.

We manufacture 51+ types of grain processing machines, including destoners, half destoners, gravity separators, pre-cleaners, paddy cleaners, decorticators, rubber roll shellers, graders, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, belt conveyors, aspirators, rice polishers, pulse dehullers, and many more.

A destoner machine removes stones, mud balls, metal particles, glass pieces, and other heavy impurities from grains using density-based and airflow separation. It is essential for any grain processing line to protect downstream machinery and improve the purity and quality of the final product. We manufacture destoners suitable for paddy, wheat, dal, groundnut, ragi, maize, and other grains.

A gravity separator (also called a specific gravity separator) separates grain mixtures based on differences in weight and density using a combination of air velocity and a vibrating deck. It is used to separate heavy impurities, immature grains, and light materials from the main grain lot, significantly improving grade and quality.

A decorticator machine removes the outer husk or hull from grains like groundnut, sunflower, safflower, and certain pulses. Our decorticators use adjustable mechanical action to shell grains gently without breaking or damaging the kernel inside, maximising recovery rates.

Our machines are available in a wide range of capacities — from 0.5 tonne/hour units for small rice mills to 10+ tonne/hour industrial machines. Standard models are available in 1 TPH, 2 TPH, 3 TPH, 5 TPH, and 10 TPH configurations. Custom capacities can be designed on request.

Yes. While we have over 51 standard models, we regularly engineer custom machinery to meet specific client requirements — different capacities, special grain types, unique configurations, or plant-specific integrations. Contact our engineering team with your requirements.

A pre-cleaner is the first stage of grain cleaning — it removes large impurities like straw, chaff, stones, and coarse dust before the grain enters the main processing line. A paddy cleaner is a more refined cleaning stage specifically designed for paddy/rice, removing finer impurities after initial cleaning, using precision sieves and airflow.

Yes, all our machines come with a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. Warranty terms are provided with each machine purchase. We also supply spare parts and provide after-sales service support.

Yes. You can visit our factory in Davanagere to see machines operating live, or visit one of our installed plants in the field. You can also watch demonstration videos on our YouTube channel (@ShramajeeviGroups). Contact us at +91 94483 39479 to arrange a demo visit.

Yes. Most of our machines are adjustable to handle different grain types by changing sieve sizes, adjusting airflow, and modifying operational parameters. A single destoner, for example, can process paddy, wheat, dal, and groundnut by adjusting settings. Our team will guide you on the optimal settings for each grain.

A turnkey grain processing plant is a complete, ready-to-run processing facility where we take full responsibility — from design and layout planning, equipment selection, civil work coordination, machine supply, installation, commissioning, operator training, and after-sales support. You hand us an empty space and we hand you a fully operational plant.

We install complete turnkey plants for: Rice mills (raw and boiled rice), Dal mills (tur, chana, moong, urad, masoor), Flour mills, Multi-grain processing plants, Groundnut processing plants, Maize/corn processing plants, Ragi and millet processing plants, and Soybean processing plants.

Timeline depends on plant capacity and complexity. A small to medium plant (1–3 TPH) typically takes 60–90 days from order confirmation to commissioning. Larger industrial plants (5–10 TPH) may take 90–180 days. We provide a detailed project schedule at the time of order.

We provide detailed civil work specifications, drawings, and supervision guidance. We coordinate with civil contractors and ensure the building structure meets all machinery installation requirements. We do not directly execute civil construction, but we ensure it is done correctly.

We provide: operator training during commissioning, technical support by phone and WhatsApp, on-site service visits, supply of spare parts, and annual maintenance contracts (AMC). Our team is available 6 days a week for support.

Yes. We specialise in capacity upgrades, technology upgrades, and additions to existing processing lines. Whether you need to add a new machine to an existing line or completely modernise an older plant, our engineering team can plan and execute the upgrade.

Most of our machines run on standard 3-phase 415V 50Hz AC power supply, which is the standard industrial supply in India. Single-phase options are available for some smaller machines. We provide complete motor and electrical specifications with each machine.

Our machines are designed for easy operation by trained mill workers. Controls are simple — mainly speed adjustments, airflow valves, and on/off switches. We provide operator training at the time of commissioning and operating manuals in English and Kannada.

Daily — check and clean sieves/screens, check belts and drives. Weekly — lubricate bearings, check bolt tightness. Monthly — inspect wear parts (rubber rolls, sieves), clean aspirator ducts. Annually — full overhaul, replace worn components. Detailed maintenance manuals are provided with each machine.

First check: power supply and fuse/MCB, belt tension and drive condition, blockages in the machine feed or discharge. For further support, call or WhatsApp us at +91 94483 39479 — our technical team can diagnose most issues remotely and guide your operator. For on-site service, we arrange a technician visit.

Yes. Operator training is included in the commissioning process for all installed machines. We cover machine start-up and shutdown, adjusting settings for different grains, routine cleaning and maintenance, and identifying and reporting issues. Additional training sessions can be arranged on request.

Yes. Our machines are designed for high throughput with optimised motor sizing to minimise electricity consumption per tonne of grain processed. We use energy-efficient motors and drive configurations. Many of our machines are 15–20% more energy efficient than older designs through regular engineering updates.

Noise levels vary by machine type and capacity. Most machines operate in the 70–85 dB range during normal operation. We recommend standard industrial ear protection for operators working in close proximity to machines for extended periods.

Yes. We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for installed plants and individual machines. AMC covers scheduled preventive maintenance visits, priority technical support, and discounted spare parts. Contact us at +91 94483 39479 for AMC pricing and terms.

Yes. Our machines do not use any chemicals — processing is entirely mechanical using air, gravity, vibration, and mechanical action. This makes them perfectly suited for certified organic grain processing where chemical contamination must be avoided.

Yes. We design and supply small-capacity machines specifically for village-level and small-scale processing: compact destoners, small pre-cleaners, and mini-processing plants suitable for FPOs (Farmer Producer Organisations), SHGs, and individual entrepreneurs.

Our machines are designed with food safety in mind — food-contact surfaces use appropriate materials, and machines are cleanable to prevent cross-contamination. While the machines themselves are not individually FSSAI certified (FSSAI certifies establishments, not machinery), they meet the standards required for food-grade processing facilities.

Yes, within limits. Most of our machines perform best with grain moisture content between 12–16%. For freshly harvested grain with higher moisture, we recommend pre-drying the grain before processing. We can advise on dryer integration as part of a complete plant design.

Yes. We manufacture precision seed cleaners, graders, and gravity separators used by seed companies and government seed farms for high-quality seed processing and certification. These machines provide the precision separation needed to achieve seed certification standards.

We supply machinery and install plants across all major states, with strong presence in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh.
