Processing to Gel and Extracto

At first, gather the leaves and cut the ends. After several washes in water tanks is achieved by removing excess aloin and any dust. So far the process is manual.

After the leaves are introduced in a press which separates the pulp from the peel and this fresh and clean pulp is ground to filter it. With the filtrate were removed cellulose and starch and the possible remains of shell. This gives the juice of Aloe Vera (Extracto líquido).
