The hand operated molding machine developed by IIT, Kharagpur were existing in this area. Pressing machine, in which the dye is heated by a stove using biomass as fuel. This machine was tested and found to be easy to operate by tribal families. This machine does not require electricity. It can therefore be operated in any remote place. The heating device is a metallic, biomass burning stove. It produces a lot of smoke and heat at the workplace. Most of the machines are therefore lying idle, without being operated by the potential users.

Dry fruit roll which are available in market are in variety of flavors like Khajur , Fig, Rose, Oragne etc. IN making of such rolls first a …. Mm thick roll is prepared by mixing Khajur pulp with other dry fruits like cashew, almond etc and then cut pieces of (coins) of desire size (2 mm to 14 mm) are prepared according to packaging size But making pulp, mixing dry fruit and rolling this mixture in 42 mm size there are machines available in market but on production line the real problem was of cutting these rolls in desire coin sizes (normally 4 to 12 mm) For this manufacturer has to employ labor and do it manually with knife and chopping board. This process of manual cutting is quite time consuming and increase cost of final product with uneven cutting size.With about 4 months of trials, on cutting size capacityhr, safety feature and commercial life of machine this machine is developed by Anil Gadhe with minimum capacity of 60 Kghr cutting and 2 MM to 16 MM cutting size.

Capacity : 60 Kg/hr
