Sattu is a customary and nutritious food product consumed in India and many other countries. It is made from roasted and stone-ground gram flour. Its quality depends on the roasting, which affects its aroma, flavor, color, and shelf life. To meet increased production demands and produce a quality product, companies need roasting equipment that is reliable, efficient and sanitary.
The Sattu (Roasted Gram Flour) Roasting Machine is a machine meant for the uniform roasting of gram (chana) before grinding, mainly to improve flavor and ensure consistent results. The machine is suited for continuous production runs for commercial food processors, flour mills and health food manufacturers.

Roasting is the most important step for the successful preparation of sattu, which reduces moisture content, improves digestibility and imparts a roasted flavor to the gram flour. Uneven roasting can make the beans taste bitter, appear patchy in color, and have a shorter shelf life.
The Sattu Roasting Machine roasts the gram to a uniform temperature for a fixed duration of time, producing a uniform, superior quality Roasted Chickpea, ready for fine powdering without temperature excursions characteristic of other roasting methods.
The continuous roasting process allows the gram to be roasted continuously right through the batch as it is pushed through the roasting chamber, ensuring uniform roasting, irrespective of the quantity of the gram being processed.
Uniform heat transfer to all grains
Continuous flow of products without manual intervention
Reduces roasting time and energy loss
Color, aroma, and texture are consistent
Continuous roasters operate under more consistent conditions than batch roasters, making them better-suited to sattu production.
The accuracy of temperature is extremely important in the process: if the beans are too hot, the outside becomes burnt while the center remains unroasted. This low temperature can influence the aroma and the shelf life of the product. Sattu Roasting Machines are usually equipped with temperature controllers, which help control the roasting temperature.
Operators can adjust for the gram variety and desired roasting style.
The machine is made of food-grade stainless steel, premium industrial quality components for hygiene, long service life and all product contacting surfaces are food standard compliant for processing edible flour and other products that are intended for human consumption.
Uniformly roasting the gram is believed to improve the quality and flavor of the flour made from it. The gram tumbles and turns over in the roasting chamber, ensuring that each gram is evenly roasted and not burnt on one side.
It is then made into a premium-quality sattu, which can be sold by retail and wholesale.
The Sattu Roasting Machine is available with semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations for different production requirements. Automation allows less dependency on skilled labor and improved repeatability of the process.
These features make it suitable for medium-sized to large food processing units.
The roasting machine is integrated into the sattu plant.
Cleaned and graded gram is fed into the roasting system using controlled feed equipment.
The gram passes through the roasting chamber, where it is heated evenly to remove moisture and develop aroma.
After roasting, the gram may be cooled to stabilize the texture and prevent condensation before grinding.
Roasted Chickpea is milled into fine sattu flour and either packaged or processed into products.
