Engineering projectBulgur Processing Solutions
From wheat to classified bulgur, the process is a chain of nine stages. DOKTEK FoodTech approaches it as process engineering, modular system development and project-based automation — compact lines, modular expansions, plant integration and retrofits — rather than as a fixed catalogue plant.
Project engineering. DOKTEK does not present a proven complete bulgur factory as a reference; each project is engineered from the raw material and the customer's requirements.

Conceptual Process Flow
Every bulgur process passes through the same stages; what differs is the equipment scale, the cooking and drying technology, and how much of the chain is automated and instrumented.

Process Engineering, Not a Catalogue Plant
Bulgur quality is decided by the wheat — variety, hardness, moisture — and by how it is cooked, dried and cracked. A plant designed around one nominal wheat behaves differently on the next harvest. DOKTEK's approach starts from the raw material and the target product (coarse, fine, extra-fine, whole) and engineers the chain of stages to it.
This is why the page speaks of solutions and projects rather than a machine: the deliverable is an engineered process with its equipment, control and integration, sized and configured for the customer.
Target Project Categories
Four project shapes cover most enquiries.
- Compact production — a small, complete line for a new producer or a regional plant
- Modular production — stages added or upgraded as volume grows
- Plant integration — new stages engineered into an existing mill or food plant
- Automation retrofit — control, instrumentation and sorting added to an existing bulgur process
Where Vision and Automation Add Value
Optical sorting after cracking and classification is where DOKTEK's vision platform applies directly: colour defects, foreign material and off-grade particles separated at line speed. Process automation — moisture and temperature control through cooking and drying, recipe management for product grades — is where the control engineering applies.
Capacity Range for Project Discussion
Select the scale that matches the plan; it frames the engineering review and nothing more.
Final capacity and machine configuration depend on raw material, process conditions and customer requirements. These ranges are discussion categories, not published machine specifications.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before a machine evaluation.
01Does DOKTEK build complete bulgur factories?
DOKTEK offers bulgur processing as project engineering — compact lines, modular expansions, plant integration and retrofits. It does not present a completed reference plant, and this page does not claim one.
02What capacity can a line reach?
The capacity options on this page are discussion categories. Final capacity and configuration depend on the raw material, the process conditions and the customer's requirements.
03Can you retrofit automation to our existing bulgur plant?
Automation retrofit — control, instrumentation and optical sorting added to an existing process — is one of the four project categories.
04How is bulgur produced, stage by stage?
Wheat is cleaned, then conditioned and cooked so the starch gelatinises, dried to a moisture that allows dehulling, dehulled, cracked to the target particle size, classified by sieving into coarse, fine and extra-fine grades, sorted for colour defects and foreign material, and packed. The bulgur processing machines page describes the equipment at each stage.
05What does a bulgur processing plant cost?
No price is published. Cost follows the capacity, the cooking and drying technology chosen, how much of the chain is automated and instrumented, and whether the project is a compact line, a modular expansion, an integration or a retrofit. A budget follows the project review of your raw material and target products.
