At Anís en Grano Sancho we are committed to innovation, and our production process is adapted to satisfy the needs of our most exacting customers.
With 3000 m2 dedicated to storage and production, our chain of production allows us to process 4000 tons of aniseed per year, with a purity of 99.80%, which helps our customers optimise their own production process.
Our system for cleaning the aniseed of all residual substances arising from the harvesting process consists of three distinct phases:
With a total of 18 sieves this first phase eliminates the heavier impurities, such as sticks, soil, chaff, and other heavy seeds. There are also two low-pressure aspirators that remove the lightest impurities, such as small twigs, leaves, or similar material, which arise from the harvesting process.
This machine works with a weight-volume system, and serves to eliminate other types of seeds and small stones.
FULL COLOR INFINITY 2 optical colour sorter: for our most exacting customers, this machine recognises 16 million colours, and uses the ejection of air at high pressure to eliminate residual seeds that are very similar to aniseed, and which other machines cannot eliminate.
Moreover, at Anís en Grano Sancho we have our own laboratory, enabling us to analyse the essential oil yield of all our aniseed. This allows a rapid classification of the aniseed according to its characteristics, which subsequently determines which customer will receive it.
