From Field to
Finished Bag, Fully
Automated.
Chandler Automation builds complete beans and legumes processing lines — dry beans, lentils, chickpeas, and split peas — from receiving and cleaning through optical defect sorting and high-speed bagging.
Every Stage of Beans & Legumes
Processing, Covered.
Dry beans and legumes arrive with stones, splits, discoloration, and insect damage mixed in raw product. We design the sort and pack line around the defect types specific to your crop.
-
Receiving, Cleaning & De-Stoning
Automated bin handling, aspiration, and de-stoning remove field debris, stones, and dirt before sorting.
-
Optical Sorting & Defect Removal
Multi-spectral optical sorters remove splits, discoloration, insect damage, and foreign material at high throughput.
-
Sizing & Grading
Sizing screens separate product by grade — whole, split, and broken — each with a different market and price point.
-
Splitting & De-Hulling (Optional)
Integrated splitting and de-hulling lines process whole legumes into split product for lentil and pea processors.
-
Bulk & Retail Bagging
Multi-head weighers and bagging systems handle everything from retail pouches to bulk foodservice and export formats.
-
Robotic Palletizing & Autonomous Hauling
Modular palletizing cells plus Cyngn autonomous tuggers and forklifts for complete facility material movement.
Your Beans & Legumes Line, Automated
Full facility — one team, one project manager
Best-in-Class Technology,
Every Bean, Every Grade.
Beans and legumes grading comes down to catching splits, discoloration, and insect damage at volume. We partner with the sorting technology purpose-built for pulse crops.
Optical Sorting — 3U Vision Fenix
4K multi-spectral optical sorting removes splits, discoloration, and insect-damaged beans and legumes — the defects that determine grade and export eligibility.
Metal Detection & X-Ray — Cassel Inspection
Cassel Inspection's metal detection and X-ray systems protect finished product from tramp metal and stone contamination common in field-run legumes.
Packaging Machinery — PFM
PFM Group's multi-head weighing and bagging systems handle the free-flowing product profile of dry beans and legumes across retail and bulk formats.
Robotic Palletizing — Focus Integration
CARBON and CUBE robotic palletizing systems handle bean and legume bags with custom tooling built for bulk and export volume.
Splitting & De-Hulling Systems
Integrated splitting and de-hulling lines convert whole legumes into split product — engineered for lentil, pea, and chickpea processors serving both whole and split markets.
End-of-Line — OK International
Case erectors, bulk fillers, and case sealers built for the high-volume pace of bean and legume export operations.
Autonomous Vehicles — Cyngn DriveMod
AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts that eliminate repetitive hauling labor across your beans & legumes facility — indoors and out, no infrastructure changes required. Customers average a 33% productivity increase and 64% reduction in hauling labor costs.
Custom Fabrication — GWI
Ghazarian Welding Inc. designs custom surge bins, conveying, and bulk handling systems built for high-volume pulse crop processing.
Bag Closing — Union Special
Union Special's BC200 series closes paper and poly bags for bulk and export beans and legumes at up to 20 bags per minute.
The Numbers That
Change Everything.
When your monthly equipment payment is less than what you save in labor, the system pays for itself from day one. Automation isn't a cost — it's a compounding investment.
"Export buyers are strict about split percentage and foreign material. Optical sorting let us hit export grade consistently instead of hoping our manual sort crew caught everything."

Handling, Built In.
Every Chandler Automation project can include Cyngn's AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts — eliminating repetitive hauling labor across your beans & legumes facility, indoors and out, with no infrastructure changes required.
Deploy a fully autonomous tugger train to automate repetitive beans & legumes hauling across your facility — from processing through packaging to the outbound dock. Travels inside and outside. No magnetic strips or special infrastructure required.
- Fully electric — AC brushless motor, regenerative braking
- Auto-unhitch feature — no human needed to release carts
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no infrastructure changes
- Remote fleet management via DriveMod FMS dashboard
- Manual override mode — human can take control anytime
- Multi-layer collision avoidance and Virtual Bumper safety
Autonomously lift and haul heavy beans & legumes bags, bins, or pallets — including non-standard pallet sizes common in ag operations. AI and computer vision analyze pallet dimensions in real time, enabling precise lifts without human intervention.
- AI computer vision detects non-standard & custom pallet sizes
- Intelligent load stability — no sudden jerks or balance disruption
- Multi-layer safety: deep learning + collision avoidance
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no magnetic strips or floor tape
- Remote monitoring and mission dispatch via Fleet Management System
- Manual mode switchover — human takes control instantly
Both DriveMod vehicles are managed through Cyngn's Enterprise Autonomy Suite — a unified fleet management platform that lets you monitor, dispatch, and optimize your autonomous vehicles from anywhere in your facility. Chandler Automation handles the full integration into your beans & legumes workflow.
