‘A safer choice, A smarter technology‘
Cinnamon, more authenticated as ‘Ceylon Cinnamon’ is one of the most in-demand spices exclusive to Sri Lanka and therefore has brought much attention in the international market. The production of cinnamon still follows the traditional process which includes the steps;
Sulphur fumigation is a traditional process done during the cinnamon processing. Traditionally, this is done by exposing the dry cinnamon quills to SO2 overnight in fumigation rooms. This practice primarily serves three purposes;
However, the use of SO2 in the process has been considered at many instances due to the drawbacks, health and environmental hazards associated with the usage of gas due to which the European Union has approved maximum level of 150 mg/kg for sulphites for the fumigation process. The main drawbacks thus associated are;
Helixionn Innovations’ wet scrubber unit, a semi-automated system satisfies multiple tasks by acting as a fumigation unit as well as a fume extractor and neutralizing unit.
Advantages:
The modified wet scrubber unit by Helixionn Innovations thus will ensure safe fumigation of the product while facilitating uniform and rapid fumigation resulting in value addition to one of the most decorated spices in Sri Lanka – ‘Ceylon Cinnamon’.
AN INDUSTRY IN A MACHINE
TOWARDS EMPOWERMENT OF THE LOCAL KITHUL INDUSTRY OF SRI LANKA.
A delicious desert of curd and treacle is a refreshing experience to any visitor who would love to explore the local delicacies of Sri Lanka. The flavor of curd is enhanced with the beautiful golden-brown treacle that accompanies it. Kithul treacle, commonly known as kithul peni among the locals is made by processing the fresh sap collected from kithul palm. The sap undergoes long heating processes to convert to treacle that would possess that silky, golden brown texture. The traditional process of kithul processing would yield around 30 L within ten to twelve hours.
The novel product presented by Helixionn Innovations, the “Semi Automated Flat Pan”, brings the local manufacturers an enhanced technology to speed the process of treacle processing while retaining the traditional texture and flavor. The make of the product follows ISO 22000 standards ensuring the quality of the product for human consumption. With this technology, local treacle manufacturers, small scale and large scale kithul treacle processing industries would receive the benefit of processing a minimum quantity of 30 L of treacle within three to four hours!
Currently, the palm industry of Sri Lanka is taking a new venture as there is much recognition received among the global market for palm related products, out of which Kithul palm treacle grabs the highest market demand.
This, Semi Automated combined flat pan will thus serve as a value addition for the kithul treacle industry. The product can be customized to suit small scale and large scale kithul treacle manufactures and involves almost zero labor for the operation, providing more opportunities for emergence of new entrepreneurs in this industry.
With this product in hand, YOU can simply have a total industrial package for treacle processing within your own vicinity!
