In the global health and nutrition industry, quality is everything. From pharmaceutical-grade supplements to gluten-free foods and nutraceuticals, companies today demand the highest standards in purity, safety, and consistency — especially when it comes to psyllium.

At Akash Agro Industries, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the psyllium industry, not only as one of the largest producers in the world, but also as a pioneer in adopting cutting-edge processing techniques. These advanced systems allow us to deliver superior-quality psyllium husk and powder — clean, allergen-free, consistent, and fully compliant with international standards.
So what sets our processing apart? Let’s take a closer look at how our technology and approach make a real difference in product quality.

1. Fully Automatic Ultra-Modern Processing Plant

Our journey to excellence begins with our fully automated processing facility — a state-of-the-art plant designed specifically for psyllium husk and powder production.
Built with recommendations from experts in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors, this plant features:
Pneumatic conveying systems for product movement
Automated separation and cleaning technologies
Minimal human contact for hygienic handling
This level of automation reduces contamination risks, enhances precision, and maintains consistent quality across every batch of psyllium produced.

2. Multi-Stage Seed Cleaning System

It all starts with the seed.
We use a rigorous ten-stage mechanical cleaning process to clean raw psyllium seeds — without using any chemicals. This ensures that all dust, husks, stones, and other foreign matter are removed before de-husking begins.
Our system can clean up to 500 kg of seeds per hour, making it both high-volume and high-efficiency, while still upholding purity and quality at scale.

3. Precision De-Husking for High-Yield Psyllium

De-husking is a delicate process. Done improperly, it can damage the husk or reduce its efficacy. That’s why our de-husking system uses parallel plants with 72 grinders (each 36" in diameter) that fragment the husk from the seed without harming the non-husk portion. Magnets are placed throughout the system to eliminate any metallic impurities, and automatic feeding ensures uniform flow.
The result? A high-yield output of clean, intact psyllium husk, ready for further processing or packaging.

4. Gravity Separation and Winnowing

After de-husking, the husk passes through gravity separators to purify and sort it based on density. This technique ensures that only the highest-quality, heaviest husk — rich in fiber and functionality — makes it into the final product.
This step is also known as winnowing, and it's essential for achieving a bright, white appearance in premium psyllium powder — particularly demanded in the pharmaceutical and supplement industries.

5. In-House Fumigation & Steam Sterilization

Safety is non-negotiable. Our plant includes a dedicated fumigation chamber built under expert guidance to meet the phytosanitary and safety requirements of various import countries.
Additionally, we have our own in-house steam sterilization unit — a chemical-free, natural method to eliminate harmful microbes such as:
E. coli
Salmonella
Yeast and mold
Unlike chemical fumigants, steam sterilization maintains the fiber structure and purity of psyllium, making it suitable for pharmaceutical and clean-label food applications.

6. Sterilization Options as per Customer Needs

Depending on specific country or customer requirements, we also offer additional sterilization treatments through certified third-party providers:
Ethylene Oxide (ETO)
Gamma Irradiation
Methyl Bromide (for certain markets)
This flexible approach allows us to customize processing and meet compliance for markets like the USA, Europe, Korea, and China — all without compromising on product integrity.

7. Hygienic Design & Pest Control Protocols

Our facility is designed for cleanliness, safety, and compliance:
Sealed buildings with cement floors and wire-mesh windows to prevent insect or rodent entry
Weekly and fortnightly sanitation schedules
Fogging and internal/external spraying
Rodent traps and pest monitoring
Full documentation and pest management logs maintained
We partner with Excellent Pest Control, a certified agency that audits and updates our hygiene practices regularly.

8. Advanced Packaging & Batch Traceability

Quality doesn’t end with production — it’s carried through packaging and delivery. We offer:
Paper bags, PP woven sacks, super sacks, and fiber drums
Packaging under strictly hygienic conditions
Moisture-resistant, tamper-proof, export-ready options
Every batch is traceable from seed to sack, with full records of origin, processing, testing, and packaging — ensuring total transparency and accountability.
