Semi Automatic Khakhra Machine
At present mostly khakhra are made by hand, using traditional methods. This process requires a lot of time and consumes a lot of oil or ghee and gas. Besides we need to depend on a large no of workers. In addition, the quality cannot be maintained uniformly as various differences arise due to hand-to-hand manufacturing by different workers. Moreover, this process is also not hygienic as the entire work is done by hands. Therefore hand made khakhra are not hygienic and their taste and quality are difficult to maintain. The production cost is also very high. Whereas the khakhra made from Semi Automatic Machine are hygienic, have good quality and also have a uniform taste. The production cost is also comparatively low.
TIME
The hand made khakhra making process is time consuming and expensive. So at the most, 5 kg of Khakhra can be prepared in 8 hrs by 2 workers. Whereas in semi automatic khakhra machine, 12kgs t0 40kgs of Khakhra can be easily prepared by 2 workers in 8 hrs. (Depending on the capacity of machine.)
HARD WORK
The hand making process requires hard work and skill from the workers. Special care has to be taken to roast it at proper temperature. However, in Automatic machine no such care needs to be taken. The complete process becomes very easy. We just have to place the doe balls in the machine and then they are automatically passed through machine, rolled and roasted.
SAVINGS IN RAW MATERIALS
In hand making process additional flour is needed to prevent the sticking of doe in rolling pan. However, this is not required in machine. During roasting on pan, only one side is roasted and other is open to air. This consumes more heat and the oil or ghee is wasted more as it evaporates in air. However, in machine both side are simultaneously roasted. Therefore, this saves heat and the oil required is less in this process.
HYGIENE & QUALITY
Khakhra made in machine are completely hygienic. During complete process, there is very low need to touch the item with hands. So machine made khakhra are hygienic, good in quality and low in fat content. Hence they are also suitable for health conscious people.
