Guar Gum Split

Guar gum split is the endosperm separated from its seeds. The endosperm of cluster bean seeds is refined to obtain refined splits. But before the splits are extracted there involves lots of procedures. The seeds of this cluster been plant are harvested and dried at the respective seasons. After drying, the beans are removed from the pods and they are then sent for removing germs and hull. The resulting product after drying is then sent for wet-milling where the seeds are grounded until they become fine particles or in powder form. The final product is then graded through quality granulation process which is then followed by re-blending in accordance with specifications. The packaging and labeling follows next. This product contains inherent properties for which it is preferred in several industries including textile, printing, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, tanneries, mining, petroleum, pet food preparation and processing, and many more applications across global industries. This merchandise is either used in powder form or splits. We are one of the leading manufacturers who provide high grade guar gum endosperm and gum powder to different industries in many parts of the world.

The splits of guar (cyamoperm tetragonoloba) contain non-ionic polysaccharide galactomanan for which it is preferred for several applications. The refining activity is done through mechanical process which helps to obtain 28-30% of pure split.

The manufacturing depends on the prerequisite of end product. When it comes to sorting out splits of guar seeds it needs several steps to be followed. Basically, the sickle pods are hard to grind. Therefore, manufactures prefer roasting, differential attrition, filtration, sieving and then polishing as some of the significant methods in commercial production of splits. In addition, the endosperm is covered by fine layer of fibrous element which is referred to as the husk and pure splits can be obtained only after removing the husk from the endosperm. The final product received after removing the husk is called refined guar split. The refined splits are considered for preparation of guar gum powder. Apart from that, Guar split selection also stays very important in the manufacturing of higher grade guar gum as it helps to decide on the rate of hydration in the final form.

The seeds of sickle pods are naturally hard to break. It can be done by soaking or roasting them so that; they become flexible for further processing. The splits on the other hand are also soaked to provide them high moisture content with the help of flaker machine. Splits obtained through flaker machine are then sent for grinding and drying. Since, the soaked condition also becomes difficult for processing, direct grinding is not recommended as it will reduce hydration quality of the product. Therefore, step by step method is followed in this regard.
