START A ELEPHANT POO PAPER  MAKING

Animals which eat a lot of vegetable matter and have poor digestive systems generate poo that is suitable for making paper. The animal droppings are washed and boiled for many hours. The solution is then blended or spun to soften and cut the fibers. Other things such as dye and/or other fibrous materials may be be added to give the solution the proper consistency. The slurry is then sifted onto rectangular sieves and allowed to dry. When dry, the thin layer of plant fibers is peeled off the sieve and made into paper and paper products
The method used for making elephant dung paper is more or less the same as making other varieties of handmade paper. There are minor changes we have had to make because of the fibrous nature of the raw material. Making sure that the paper is not harmful for the papermaker as well as the user was our biggest challenge… so disinfectants are used to make the paper as bacteria free as possible.

1. COLLECTING THE POO

Dung is collected from various elephant stables. The colour of the dung varies from season to season, as what the elephants eat depends on the crop of the season.

2. CLEANING THE POO


The cleaning of the dung is one of the important stages… the dung is washed thoroughly with water in large tanks. At the end, all what is left is the fibre. Since this process is water intensive, it is preferably done close to cultivated land… the water acts as a fantastic fertilizer.

3. POO IN THE POT - COOKING!

Paper can only be made with this fibre if its soft enough to be beaten into pulp. To get the fibre ready for the next stage of pulping, it is cooked in water for over 4-5 hours with salt and then washed with hydrogen peroxide to complete the first stage of making the paper bacteria free.

4. SORTING

After cooking, the water is drained out and the dung is left to dry out in the sun. Once its dry, it is sorted and any non-usable fibre is removed.

5. PULPING

After the fibre has been softened and sorted, it goes into the Hollander Beater, to be beaten to pulp. This process takes about 4 hours. The fibre goes through the process of being beaten into very fine pulp and also being washed again. Disinfectant is added here to kill any bacteria still in the pulp.

6. LIFTING THE POO PULP

The pulp is then taken to cement/ wooden vats filled with water. Depending on the weight of the paper to be made, the required amount of pulp is mixed with the water. A flat sieve-like mould is used to lift a layer of pulp out of water. A sheet of paper is made.

7. COUCHING

The sheet is then placed on a muslin cloth by applying gentle pressure onto the mould. This process continues till there is a heap of about 100 sheets.

8. DRYING THE POOPER

The heap of interleaved sheets is then placed in a hydraulic press and compressed to drain out as much water as possible. The paper is then dried on lines, in a shady area. Direct sunlight is not good for drying the sheets unless they’re white as the colour fades under the sun.

9. CALENDERING

Paper sheets are then calendered to make them smoother and writable. Calendering involves interleaving a bunch of sheets with zinc coated metal sheets and passing them under pressure, back and forth between two rollers.The sheets are then cut to the specified size, packed and sent to their required destinations.

Due to its multifarious advantages and manifold usages, Ultramarine Pigment is used in diverse industries to function in many applications, such as: Inks : Ultramarine Blue is a suitable pigment for use in inks due to its inorganic nature. It shows good wettability in water systems and good resistance to organic solvents. Due to its many characteristics properties such as good light resistance and low oil absorption it is used in different types of inks e.g. Flexographic. Paints : Ultramarine Blue is widely used in a variety of paints for Oil Paints, Water and Acrylic Paints, Water-based Emulsion Paints etc. It provides a bluish undertone, while providing uniformity in the composition. Ultramarine Blue pigment displays high fastness to alkalis, air, light, water, detergents and organic solvents. Masterbatch : Ultramarine blue has non-shrinking, non-warping properties, along with its exceptional heat and light stability, it has led to the development of a range of high quality pigments specifically for masterbatch applications. This pigment is widely used in applications that require improved appearance in brightness, transparency, and surface smoothness. The color masterbatch also provides improved mechanical properties preferred for manufacturing of thin films, pressure pipes, fibres, bottles, etc. Surface Coating : Ultramarine Blue pigment is used in surface coating. It occupies a unique position in the blue color space that can not be achieved by any other pigment or blend of pigments. Its reddish undertone is highly appreciated in both mass tone and tint applications in surface coating. This makes the pigment clearly differentiated from any Blue Phthalocyanine and any Cobalt Blue, even if they are in combination with organic violet pigments. Paper : Ultramarine Blue is extensively used for the whitening of cellulose pulp and the coloration of the outside coating on colored and stucco papers. It is used as blue pigment or as filler shade correctors because in paper coating treatment, high dose levels of pigments and white fillers are used. A blend of Ultramarine Blue and a optical whitener is used to achieve optical whitening especially under a light which is rich in ultraviolet rays. It can be easily eliminated with waste water & has no contaminant risks. Moreover, it is environmental friendly, which is an added advantage in the Paper industry. Plastic & Rubber : Ultramarine Pigments has non-shrinking, non-warping properties, due to these it maintain the dimensional stability of polyolefins and other polymers. It is compatible and suitable for all kind of polymers, such as polyolefins, rubber polymers and more. It is not only used to provide the reddish blue shade or to whiten polymers, but also to provide a blue undertone to gray and black plastic parts. Soaps, Detergents, Toiletries & Cosmetics Ultramarine Pigment is used in various types of toiletries formulations such as: shampoos, soaps, gels, etc. It has a unique reddish blue shade and possess high tinting strength, which makes the product non staining in final use. In cosmetics, it is valued for its brightness and non-irritability characteristic and also has very low levels of any impurity. Few examples of fields of application are eye shadows, face powders and artistic make-ups. Cement and Construction Industry : The coloration of cement or any formulation is based on nature of cement such as mortars, concrete, tiles joints. With Ultramarine Pigments the coloration is possible only under controlled conditions of formulation and use. Ultramarine Blue is widely used in house roof coatings preparations that is colored with blue. Artist's Colors Industry Ultramarine blue is widely used in oil colors, fat pencils, modeling pastes, water colors, acrylic colors and many more. Its non-staining property contribute a great deal in it's success in the artists' colors industry. Laundry Grade “Laundry blue" is a solution of synthetic ultramarine that is widely used to improve the appearance of textiles, especially white fabrics. White fabrics acquire a slight color cast after use. Since blue and yellow are complementary colors in the subtractive color model of color perception, adding a trace of blue color to the slightly off-white color of these fabrics makes them appear whiter. Ultramarine blue is the most commonly used laundry blue. It gives a violet blue color and makes a fine powder and thus becomes a suitable blue for laundry. It is safe to use as it is not harmful to the fabrics. Bluing is to be done only when the fabric is free from soap or detergent used for washing the cloth. Ultramarine blue being not insoluble in water, the coloring matter is held in suspension, and so the water must be stirred each time before use.

Start a Malt Extracting Business

  

Start a Malt Extracting Business
Malt extract is thick viscous brown liquid with a characteristic sweetish taste of barley malt aroma and flavor. The product is produced from high-quality barley malt own production. Technology of production of malt extracts provide soft modes of condensation which needed to keep most of the biologically active substances presented in germinated grains of barley.

Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water, and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air. It also develops other enzymes, such as proteases, which break down the proteins in the grain into forms that can be used by yeast. Malt also contains small amounts of other sugars, such as sucrose and fructose, which are not products of starch modification but were already in the grain.
The term "malt" refers to several products of the process: the grains to which this process has been applied, for example malted barley; the sugar, heavy in maltose, derived from such grains, such as the baker's malt used in various cereals; or a product based on malted milk, similar to a malted milkshake (i.e., "malts").

Malt extracts may be used in:

• brewing industry and craft beer production.
• dry (cereal) breakfast, cereals, kozinaki.
• fillers in milk beverages and milk products.
• cereal bars and granola.
• snacks, crackers and cookies
• chocolate industry.
• bakery and pastas.
• energy beverages.
• malt based drinks.
• pharmaceuticals.
• malted milks, ice cream and yoghurts.
• confectionery and desserts.
• pet foods.

Malting Process

Malting is the process of converting barley into malt, for use in brewing, distilling, or in foods and takes place in a maltings, sometimes called a malthouse, or a malting floor. The sprouted barley is kiln-dried by spreading it on a perforated wooden floor. Smoke, coming from an oasting fireplace (via smoke channels) is then used to heat the wooden floor and the sprouted grains. The temperature is usually around 55 °C (131 °F). A typical floor maltings is a long, single-storey building with a floor that slopes slightly from one end of the building to the other. Floor maltings began to be phased out in the 1940s in favour of "pneumatic plants". Here, large industrial fans are used to blow air through the germinating grain beds and to pass hot air through the malt being kilned. Like floor maltings, these pneumatic plants are batch processes, but of considerably greater size, typically 100 ton batches compared with 20 ton batches for floor malting.

The malting process starts with drying the grains to a moisture content below 14%, and then storing for around six weeks to overcome seed dormancy. When ready, the grain is immersed or steeped in water two or three times over two or three days to allow the grain to absorb moisture and to start to sprout. When the grain has a moisture content of around 46%, it is transferred to the malting or germination floor, where it is constantly turned over for around five days while it is air-dried. The grain at this point is called "green malt". The green malt is then kiln-dried to the desired colour and specification.Malts range in colour from very pale through crystal and amber to chocolate or black malts.

Malt Extract

Malt extract is used in beer and breads to create various flavors and as a sugar souce for yeast development. Malt extract can be purchased in dry, powder form, or wet, syrup form. Dry powder form can be kept in dry storage without any special packaging. Pre-made malt extract is typically purchased in cans if it's in syrup form. If you make your own syrup malt extract, it should be used right away or canned to keep it from spoiling. One benefit of making your own malt extract is that you can make it as dark or light as you want during the toasting process.

Malt Making Process

Malt making process is the beginning of making many alcoholic beverages starting with AL and ending with whiskey.

Malt or malt extract is something that brewers used to make by themselves but with the dividing of various jobs it became cheaper to buy the ready-made malt prepared by a Maltster. The maltmaking process itself is rather simple because all it the sprouting of seeds from certain grain producing plants. The most common ones used in the brewing process are barley or rye although other grains can be used such as wheat, corn, rice or potatoes. The Maltster uses barley that is well rounded and firm. The maltmaking process is performed so that sprouting the barley changes its starch into sugar. The first step in this process is to soak the barley in a tub of water. After about an hour the good grains will sink to the bottom of the water and the grains that will not germinate or are damaged will float on the surface. Remove the floating grains from the surface and discard them or use them for animal feed. Once the barley is well soaked and soft it is spread out evenly on a smooth wooden floor forming a layer from six to eight cm thick. During this process the sprouting barley has to germinate for a week to ten days. The finished sprouts are about two thirds the length of the grain when finished. Once it has germinated the sprouts are put on a floor to dry in a layer 2 to 3 cm thick. This layer is turned over seven to nine times a day with a rake until malted grains are thoroughly dry.

The next step is roasting the sprouts. This is done by placing the sprouts in a container with a screen bottom and forcing a current of hot air out through the sprouts. There are several different grades of roasting that can be done. These range from light, medium, dark and black. The different colors are produced by using different temperatures the lowest of which is about the boiling point of water, and the highest which produces black malt is about 350°C. Black malt is used in making some of the heavier English such as Porter and Stout. The lighter colored balls are used for different purposes but most of them are made into beer. This is also the beginning process for making different kinds of whiskey depending upon the grain or grains malted.

The next step in making malt is called mashing. Here the grain that has been sprouted is ground into mash after the rootlet’s have been winnowed out of the finished the match by directing a current of air through the sprouts that literally blows the rootlets away. For small-scale use you can grind the sprouts with a meat grinder using a fine cutting head on the grinder.

The mash is placed into a kettle of boiling water dissolves the contained sugar. The residue left from this process is quite rich in protein and makes very good cattle feed. What we have now is called wort and has many different uses in making alcoholic beverages ranging from ale to whiskey.

The dissolved sugar is filtered from the solids which are discarded. The discarded portion is often used for animal food. To get malt extract the sugar water is evaporated into a thick liquid or a dry rosinous mass. Usually the excess water is evaporated commercially in a vacuum pan although it can also be done in a common kettle. All you need is time and patience.

You’ll have to experiment with sprouting barley before you make a full-sized batch to get a feel for the process.

PROCESS MALT (HOW MALT IS MADE? Incoming grain is received at moisture levels of between 10% and 12%. Every load is sampled, inspected and tested at the intake point. Once tipped the grain is cleaned through imported screeners to remove stones, foreign objects, dust and straw. Once the dressing and drying processes are complete, the grain is stored in silo.

There are five stages in the process of converting barley into malt. The Malt Company India Pvt. Limited Produce the best malt by following step.
