Puffing machine

The puffing machine was designed, fabricated and tested. This machine consists of blower unit, heating unit, container, casing, wooden platform and power consumption. Two types of power transmission was used in the developed machine, one from electric motor of 0.25 hp capacity for blower and the other one for heating coil connected directly to electric source.

After achieving 220-250oC temperature in the container, the specified feed rate of conditioned rice in to the container will result in puffed rice within a short span of around 10-12 sec.

Extrudates were prepared to identify the optimum machine parameters and prepare good quality ready to eat extruded snacks from a suitable blend of sattu and kodo. Kodo is millet that supply starch necessary to provide required puffing quality to extrudate. Kodo also imparts brightness to the extrudate. Sattu has been blended as it is a rich source of protein gram being the main source followed by wheat and barley. It also provides fibres. The experiments were carried out to find out the effect of different levels of processing parameters.
