Saves people from a tedious job
Krishnan has developed a cauldron (kettle) shaped roasting pan with oscillating arms for turning /churning the sago rice. The pan is coated with Teflon material to avoid the sticking of sago rice. The processed and sized sago rice balls are roasted in this device. The arms ensure that the roasted rice is moved to the basket from where it can be packaged. Krishnan developed this machine for his own use at the cost of Rs. 5.5 lakh INR. Prior art search did not disclose any method except roasting on hot plates at about 100 degree Celsius for about 6 to 8 minutes.
