Brief Description

Description :

It is directed to provide a motorized rice pounder machine which would generate pounding or impacting action required for milling of rice. It involves mechanical drive means actuated by motor operation with improved efficiency and productivity eliminating the need for manual application of foot pressure resulting fatigue/drudgery. Salient features of mechanized dhenki: Eliminated the nedd for one operator at the foot pressing end. 1 hp motor driven pounder and impactor. Ensures similar frequency, amplitude and fravity fall as traditional. Productivity is about 15-20 kh/hr compared to traditional.
