Who we are

A legacy of absolute focus: 100% poultry mastery

One protein, one supply chain, one set of controls — no multi-species cross-contamination risk to manage.

The heritage

An enterprise of the Sampoorna Group, a major North Indian player, operating a fully backward-integrated farm-to-fork model with 100% raw-material traceability through to finished goods.

The focus

A singular focus on chicken processing, fortified by backward integration — giving zero multi-species risk and domain mastery across the entire value chain.

The commitment

Delivering as a fully integrated infrastructure partner, engineered from day one against the audit standards global QSR programmes apply.

Supply chain

Total backward integration: the farm-to-fork ecosystem

Four owned stages mean input cost and specification are set internally, not bid for on the open market.

01 · Poultry feed

Own production — standardised nutrition, fixed input spec.

02 · Hatcheries

Traceable genetics, monitored flock health.

03 · Live bird growing

Contract growing on the proven integration model.

04 · Star Food processing

The ultra-hygienic epicentre of the chain.

How it runs

Zero-touch precision: the five-stage line

Product is not handled between grinding and frozen pack-off. Stage 3 carries the four-pass breading sequence.

1

Preparation

Vacuum N₂ cooling and auto-grinding at 5,000 kg/hr.

PowerGrind II 200 · ProMix 1500

2

Forming

1,000–1,200 kg/hr to exact QSR dimensional tolerance.

MultiFormer 600

3

Breading

Four-pass sequence — sprays, flour bed, air knives.

OptiFlour II · OptiAir · OptiCoater · CrumbMaster

4

Thermal

Fryer and oven with pressure filtration for oil control.

ProFry · Oberlin OCL4

5

Freezing

IQF at 1,200 kg/hr — locks moisture and cell integrity.

Spiral freezer / IQF

Equipment models are indicative. Exact vendor designations to be confirmed against the issued GEA, Oberlin and Handtmann quotations before this pack is treated as a specification.

Basis of the figures. 20 MT/day against the 1,200 kg/hr IQF rate implies ~16.7 running hours; 450–600 MT/month implies 22.5–30 operating days. The formed and whole-muscle rates share the single freezing downline — they are not additive. Confirm shift pattern and OEE before contracting volume.

Thermal

Thermal mastery: cold chain & preservation

From the fryer

Product leaves thermal processing with an exact moisture profile — the value the freezing stage exists to preserve.

Oil management

To the cold store

Flash-freezing prevents clustering and halts cellular degradation immediately, held by a 250 kW redundant central plant.
