Domestic Pressure Cookers

PART-II
A) INTRODUCTION
The pressure cookers are extensively used in household for preparing food. The
pressure cookers have preference over the conventional cooking utensils due to the
advantage of retaining the nutritive value and flavour of the cooked food and less time
required for cooking and thus effecting considerable savings in time and fuel. It is a
closed cooking vessel for use with external heat source, capable of maintaining working
steam pressure of 1.0 Kg Sq. Cm. The full liquid capacity of vessel i.e. total internal
volume with lid in position, ranges from 2 to 10 litres capacity. But in market, the
pressure cookers of 3 and 5 litre capacity are mostly demanded by the customers. This
project profile envisages the manufacturing of 5 litres capacity cookers.
It is a well known fact that a pressure cooker cooks food at a pressure higher
than that of ambient pressure, thus necessitating sufficient precaution required in
designing, manufacturing and use of domestic pressure cooker to safeguard against
accidents in the kitchen.
B) MARKET POTENTIAL
It has been observed, keeping in view the average family, which medium
size/capacity pressure cookers have greater market. With the rapid advancement in the
general living standards of the people, the demand of pressure cookers is increasing
day by day. Accordingly, there is great scope for setting up of the new units for
manufacture of pressure cookers to standard specifications.

1. The project profile has been prepared on the basis of single shift of 8 hours each
day, 25 days in a month and at 75% efficiency.
2. It is presumed that in the 1st year, the capacity utlisation will be 60% followed by
70% in the next year and 80% in the subsequent years.
3. The rates quoted in respect of salaries and wages for skilled workers and others
are the minimum rates in the State/neighbouring states.
4. Interest rate for fixed and working capital has been taken @ 12% on an average,
whether financed by bankers or by Financial Corporation.
6. The rental value of the workshed and other built up/covered area has been taken
at the rate of Rs. 100/- per square meter.
7. The rates quoted in respect of machines, equipment and raw materials are those
prevailing at the time of preparation of the project profile and are likely to vary
from supplier to supplier and place to place. When a tailor made project profile is
prepared necessary changes are to be made.
D) IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
E) TECHNICAL ASPECTS:
The pressure cooker consists of components like main body, lid, regulator, gasket,
fusible plug, handles, lugs etc. The main body and lid of the pressure cooker are
manufactured of aluminium alloy sheet/Circles of different thicknesses depending upon
the size and specifications of the Cookers. The components i.e. pressure regulator,
Bakelite Handles and Lugs, Rubber Gasket, fusible Plugs, Screws, Rivets, Packing
Boxes etc. are usually purchased from outside sources by the pressure cooker
manufacturers. In the manufacturing of pressure cookers operations like circle cutting,
deep drawing of body, drawing of lid, trimming of body and lid, notching of body, drilling
of holes in body and lid, fixing of lugs, handles, vent pipe, buffing and polishing, testing,
packing etc. are involved.
The Indian Standard Specification No. IS:2347:1995 for domestic pressure cooker
and IS: 7466:1994 for Rubber Gaskets for cookers and other relevant specifications
prepared by the BIS should be followed for quality control and various tests. The
manufacturer should have arrangement to carry out the important tests in the factory
premises.
There will not be any pollution in the press shop and assembly shop. However,
exhaust fans and dust collectors will be installed in the polishing and buffing section
to control the air pollution.
F) FINANCIAL ASPECTS:
A) Fixed Capital:
a) Machine Shop
b) Packing Section etc.
c) Buffing and Polishing section.
