Elcan finds screening solutions to problems that other companies cannot. Find out why we have earned the nickname, “The Screening Experts.”
Black Cardamom
Black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) is a bold, smoky spice used in cooking, beverages, nutraceutical blends, and essential oil extraction. Compared to green cardamom, black cardamom pods are larger, tougher, and often require crushing or grinding before further processing. In bulk supply chains, these pods often contain husks, stems, and fibrous debris that must be removed before refining or packaging.
Industrial users who process black cardamom into coarse or fine powder for chai blends, ayurvedic formulas, or food service applications often need a precise particle size range. The challenge is separating usable seed material from the woody shell fragments without creating excess fines or screen mesh clogging the screen mesh.
Contract Manufacturing Experience
Elcan Industries helps companies screen black cardamom material efficiently by using a combination of advanced sieving technologies. The Allgaier tumbler screener offers gentle separation for husks and broken pods without damaging the usable material. For finer separations below 100 microns, the Hi-Sifter high-energy screener can process cardamom powders without screen blinding, even when dealing with fibrous or sticky fractions.
This dual-machine setup allows for both bulk pre-cleaning and precision sizing in one processing line, helping customers improve product quality, throughput, and downstream mixing performance. Whether for spice exporters, tea manufacturers, or nutraceutical producers, Elcan can customize the screening approach based on cut size, moisture content, and throughput needs.
All processing takes place at our ISO 9001-certified toll processing facility in Tuckahoe, NY, with the ability to run both R&D trials and full-scale commercial batches.
