| Name of the Technology | Weaving using Jacquard Loom |
|---|---|
| About the Technology (in brief) |  Weaving is a process of manufacturing of fabrics and it is one of the oldest manufacturing processes in the world. Basically there are three processes/ technologies used for weaving viz. hand loom, hand loom with jacquard machine or jacquard loom and power loom. In the present project we are introducing the handloom with jacquard machine. It increases the productivity 3-4 times compared to the basic handloom. The jacquard machine uses the pre-designed punched cards to transfer the design in to the fabrics by guiding the threads as per the card sequences. We have also introduced the card punching machine which manufactured the punch cards used in the jacquard machine. A CAD /CAM software for weaving named “ArahWeave” is used in our center to create the design and communicate the design to the card punching machine for producing the punch cards. This technology will be very much helpful for the weavers to economically produced different weaving products and become commercially self sustainable. |
| Raw materials | 1. Different types of yarns for the production of fabrics
2. Cards for the punching machine to use in the jacquard machine |
| Equipment’s Required | 1. Hand loom with basic accessories and the jacquard machine.
2. The card punching machine & the software of the center can be used by our trained weaver during commercial production |
| Project Economics |
1. Total Capital Investment: - approximately 40-50 thousand. 2. Land/ Building (approx. in sq. ft.):- 10 ft×10 ft general shed for one jacquard loom set. 3. Plant & Machinery: - approximately 30-40 thousand. 4. Cost of production: - varies with the product. 5. Capacity: - varies with the product. |
| Name of the Technology | Milk pasteurization plant for milk processing |
|---|---|
| About the Technology (in brief) | Pasteurization usually accompanied by refrigeration, is a process of heating and cooling to the specific temperature limits and retaining it for some time at the higher temperature and then cooling at a specific rate. For milk the higher temperature is usually less than 100˚ C. Since Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth and when it is stored in ambient temperature, bacteria and other pathogens contaminate the milk. The refrigerated pasteurized milk has greater shelf life than the non-pasteurized milk. The plant introduced in STINER Hub has a capacity of approximately 2000-2500 litres per day. It is planned to help more than 100 direct farmer beneficiaries who are marginally producing @ 15-20 litres of milk per day. A properly designed collection mechanism will be implemented in the system. Along with the pasteurization, there will be other value addition of milk like cream, paneer and packaging facility. It is expected to have more than 500 direct beneficiaries associated in this plant. |
| Raw materials | Milk and packaging materials (if packaging in done) |
| Equipment’s Required | The complete pasteurization & refrigeration plant with cream separator, paneer vat and packing facility. |
| Project Economics |
1. Total capital investment: 50.00-60.00 lakhs 2. Land/ Building: 1500 sq. ft (approximately) 3. Plant & Machinery: 50.00 lakhs (approximately) 4. Cost of production: depends on mode of operation 5. Capacity: 2000-2500 litres/ day |
| Name of the Technology | Essential oil distillation unit |
|---|---|
| About the Technology (in brief) |  Essential and Aromatic oils extracted from different plant sources has a huge business potential in India. The global fragrance and flavor industry is worth 24.10 billion USD and India’s contribution is approximately 500 million USD with a growth rate of approximately 11%. There are different types of distillations available viz. simple hydro distillation, steam distillation, vacuum distillation, fractional distillation, Azeotropic distillation, Extractive distillation etc. We have introduced in STINER Hub a steam distillation plant of capacity 500 kg for extraction of essential oil from citronella and lemongrass. Here we will provide training, hand holding and allow the potential entrepreneurs to use the facility to start their business.
The distillation plant is designed and developed by CSIR-NEIST, Jorhat. It is expected to generate more than 1000 beneficiaries from this technology.
|
| Raw materials | Citronella and Lemongrass |
| Equipment’s Required | The distillation plant |
| Project Economics | 1. Total capital investment: 8.00 lakhs 2. Land/ Building: 20ft×30ft (basic shed) 3. Plant & Machinery: 6.50 lakhs 4. Cost of production: depends on location 5. Capacity: Minimum capacity 500 kg per batch for economic viability. |

| Name of the Technology | Bio fertilizer unit |
|---|---|
| About the Technology (in brief) |  A bio-fertilizer is a type of substance) which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. (Source: Wikipedia). CSIR-NEIST has developed a bio-fertilizer which is a consortia of different microbes which not only acts as plant growth promoter and also help the plant to sustain in both water deficit and water logging condition. For mass scale production of this consortia of microbes CSIR-NEIST has designed the specific bio-reactor with capacity of 550 ltrs working in batch operation. The consortia of microbes usually needs some carrier / medium for effective and efficient used in the field. Cocopit / coco dust and talcum powder are two tested medium for our bio fertilizer and proved to be economical and effective in field application.
It is expected that there will be more than 100 as direct beneficiary from this project and thousands of farmers will be benefited by using this bio fertilizer. |
| Raw materials | 1. Microbial consortia 2. Carrier media |
| Equipment’s Required | 1. The bio reactor facility |
| Project Economics |
1. Total Capital Investment: approximately 5.00 lakhs.
2. Land/ Building (approx. in sq. ft.): 10 ft × 10 ft general shed for the bio reactor facility only. 3. Plant & Machinery: approximately 4.00 lakhs. 4. Cost of production: varies with the carrier media taken. 5. Capacity: 500 ltrs per batch. |
| Name of the Technology | Packaging Facility |
|---|---|
| About the Technology (in brief) | Packaging is one of the most important facilities for any types of production industries. Starting from Pharmaceuticals to food products, consumer products to clothes and wearables, all types of products needs packaging when we go for commercial production. Apart from marketing attraction, the packaging fulfills different other requirements such as, shelf life increase, prevent from damage and similar types of quality factors of the product. Therefore, different products demands different types of packaging methods, packing materials, packaging quality etc. In STINER hub at CSIR-NEIST, the packaging facility introduced, mainly targets foods and agriculture related products. The basic objectives are to cater the needs of different shelf help groups who are engaged in production of different food products and also to some of the farmers, who needs proper packaging of their agricultural products. The facility includes the packaging machines for powder materials, different types of grains, liquid materials, paste type materials etc. We have also installed a honeycomb structured paper based packaging material manufacturing facility. |
| Raw materials | Packets and Bottles etc. as per the requirement of the materials to be packed. |
| Equipment’s Required | Different types of packaging machines mentioned above. |
| Project Economics | Specific project economics is difficult to mention here as project economics varies with the types of materials to be packed along with the quality, quantity and printing expenditure of the packaging materials to be used by the entrepreneurs/ farmers. |
