It operates using 3 hp single phase electric motor. One semiskilled and another unskilled labour are required to operate the mill. The space requirement is 250 m2 (50 m2 room and 200 m2 drying yard).The whole grain, dal, broken, husk and powder are separated mechanically. Pulses are transported to commercial dal mills in urban areas and finished product goes back for consumption to villages which impose burden of transportation on producer as well as consumer. However, a sizable portion of pulses were milled by burr mills, where the recovery seldom exceeds 55%. In order to have solution to these problems the PKV mini dal mill was developed with cleaning and grading of grains as well as polishing of split dal in a single unit and commercialized. |
| Performance results (efficiency, capacity of operation, losses etc.) | The processing capacity of dal mill is 100 -125 kg/h for pigeon pea and 125 – 150 kg/h for green gram and black gram. The respective dal recoveries are 72 – 75 % and 80 – 82 %. |
| Cost (initial investment and operating cost in Rs/h and Rs/unit output) | Cost of unit – 55000/- (Excluding Tax) Initial investment – Rs. 60,000/- Operating cost - Rs. 175/q of raw material (Pigeon pea) and Rs. 220/h |
| How the new technology will impact the income of the farmers? | Increased dal recovery of about 17 % can be achieved by using PKV mini dal mill over conventional system besides decrease in losses. Maximum unit operations are mechanized which results in significant reduction in labour and time of operation. Dusty atmosphere is avoided. |

| Specifications and salient technical features | Ginger & Turmeric have an important place in spices. World's 50% ginger and 90% turmeric are produced in India. A technology package has been developed for processing of fresh ginger and turmeric into dried and powder form. In order to clean and remove adhered soil with rhizomes, ginger and turmeric are washed with water. Ginger is peeled with knife or by rubbing against gunny bags in order to fasten the drying process. Due care is taken to avoid the loss of material during peeling. Drying is performed in solar dryer for 3 days. The outer surface of rhizomes shrivels due to drying and does not appeal properly. Polishing is therefore, required for smoothing the dried rhizomes. Like other spices, ginger and turmeric rhizomes can be powdered using a pulverizer. The material is shifted to 50 mesh & packaged in appropriate size polyethylene bags, sealed & marketed. Ginger peeling machine, Solar dryer and Polisher have been developed to facilitate these operations in efficient manner. | ||||||||

Aloe vera processing technology
| Specifications and salient technical features | An aloe gel extraction machine was developed which consist of three pairs of stainless steel rollers, feeding and discharge platform, gel extraction trough mounted on a MS frame. The rollers are arranged in vertical plane with maximum clearance at front pair followed by other two pairs. The front pair just compresses the leaf while rear pair helps in extraction. The clearance between rollers can be adjusted with the help of nuts provided on top frame according to the thickness of leaves. The machine needs 1 hp single phase motor. The front pair has more clearance than the rear pairs. The machine gets its drive through chain sprocket. The clean leaves are fed between the front roller and passes to rear pair. The gel obtained is collected through a trough underneath the rollers. One unit has been established at village Ogna(Udaipur) by a SHG with help of Deptt of Forest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Coriander splitter
The seeds of coriander are required to be splitted into two halves before sowing for good seed germination and also processing it as mouth freshner. Traditionally the seeds are splitted manually and this operation involves drudgery and more time besides post harvest losses in terms of seed damage. The mechanized operation is therefore essential. Hence a machine to split the coriander was designed and developed at CIPHET. The machine is powered by 1 hp motor with capacity 60-80 kg/hr. The machine is equipped with two rollers of 6.5 cm dia and 10cm long. The differential speed is provided in two rollers so that coriander would break in two halves. The gear type metering device is provided in the splitter. The machine is able to split the coriander at moisture content up 14.2 %.
