Questions people ask
Which colour sorter is best in India?
There is no single best one. Match chutes and capacity to your mill, check that the seller has engineers near you, and ask for a trial on your own grain. Tell us your crop and capacity in the shortlist form and we will suggest three.
Indian or Chinese colour sorter?
Indian machines are cheaper to service and spares are close; several Indian makers build on imported cameras and valves. Chinese brands offer AI and many models at competitive prices through dealers. Compare service response time as carefully as price.
Where are colour sorters used most in India?
Rice mills (Punjab, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu), dal mills, spice and seed processors, cashew units and plastic recyclers.
