INTRODUCTION:

Agrozee Organics Pvt. Ltd. is engaged in the processing of multi-grain flakes, with a focus on producing nutritious food products such as sorghum flakes. However, during recent trials and machine inspections, it was observed that the multi-grain flakes machine installed at the facility is not functioning optimally. The machine is unable to produce consistent flakes from sorghum, which affects the quality and uniformity of the final product.

To address this issue, a field visit was conducted to assess the condition and working of the machine. During the visit, a test trial was carried out in which sorghum was steamed for 45 minutes to soften the grains, followed by drying in a heat pump to remove excess moisture. Despite this controlled preparation process, the machine still failed to deliver consistent flaking results. This indicates that the root cause of the problem is likely mechanical in nature.

The inconsistency in flake production not only leads to product wastage but also affects overall process efficiency, productivity, and product quality. Therefore, there is a clear need to analyse and resolve the mechanical problems in the machine to ensure smooth and effective operation.

The objective of this project is to:

Investigate the operational limitations of the current multi-grain flakes machine.

Identify and diagnose the mechanical faults affecting flake consistency.

Propose practical solutions or design improvements for achieving better flaking performance, particularly for sorghum.

Help Agrozee Organics improve their product quality, production output, and reduce material wastage.

Here i visit to the Agrozee Organics

I use the process as follow:

Flow chart:-

First i soak the swarghum (jawari) in to the water for 18hrs to soften the jawari

↓

after that i give steam to the jawari for 45 min

↓

placed at heat pump for remove moisture after steaming

↓

after that swarghum feed into feeder

↓

and the jawari are flaked

Here is the my observations:

  • Some Jawari goes out of the roller and damaged.
  • Some are passed through roller and flaked.
  • After flaked the some jawari gets proper shaped some get over flaked and some get not flaked properly.
  • And have a technical problems of roller, scrapper, and the feeding adjustment and damage control

Conclusion:

We have send this visit report to the Agrozee Organics pvt ltd. but we don’t have any respond from them.

“I discuss it with Dixit Sir and Prasad Patil Sir. If Agrozee is able to pass on the necessary information to us, we will proceed accordingly.”
