24,000 MT    4,144 MT           1,620 MT      15,600 MT       720 MT

NOTE: the capacity of the guar milling plant is depend upon the type of Production in process. For medium viscosity product, the capacity would be 5,100 MT and for high viscosity product the capacity would be 4,144 m t. The high viscosity product fetches 10 to 15% more price as compared to the medium viscosity product.

Out of 6,720 MT of guar splits produced 5,100 MT would be issued to the guar gum milling plant for the production of guar gum powder. The rest of dehusked guar splits would be exported as such,

* dehusked guar splits 28%
* toasted guar meal 65%
* atti & churri 3%
* wastage &invisible loss 4%


COST OF PROJECT:

The Project comprises of three main parts which are listed as follows:-

A. The Existing plant was established in 1984. The complete plant was imported from "STARKETECHNIK GRINDAL & CO" .West Germany. The cost of the machinery is US $ 1.350 Million. The Duty-paid value of the machinery is PKR. 19'009'205. The Total cost of the Project is PKR. 35'000'000.

B. The expansion of Guar Splitting and Dehusking Unit; which would be undertaken at an estimated cost of PKR 17.000 Million. All the Machinery would be manufactured locally, based on Swiss and German Fabrication Drawings.

C. The third part would involve installation of Guar Gum Milling Plant which would be undertaken at a cost of PKR. 75.000 Million. Most of the machinery would be manufactured locally, based on Swiss and German Fabrication Drawings; the rest of the machinery would be imported from Italy and France.

D. Technical know-how and Project management Fees PKR. 2.5 Million.

E. Total Capitalization approximately PKP130.000 MILLION

F. Working Capital " PKR 10.000 MILLION
