Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana, Punjab has developed and commercialised many technologies under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Post Harvest Technology. The All India Coordinated Research Project on Post Harvest Technology was launched by the ICAR in September 1972 at ten locations. During the V, VI and IX Plans, eleven more centres were inducted. In X Plan EFC, eight new centres were started and four existing centres were assigned enlarged mandate on dairy, fisheries, horticulture, and meat products. Besides, five ongoing centres of AICRP on Jaggery and Khandsari were merged with AICRP on PHT w. e. f. April 2004. During XI Plan, four new centres (CAU Gangtok, BAU Ranchi, MAFSU Mumbai and KVA&FSU Mangalore) have been approved by the Planning Commission.

Technologies developed and commercialised under AICRP on PHT are detailed below.

PKV Mini Dal Mill

Specifications and salient technical features Dimensions: 1.5 m (L) × 1.3 (B) × 1.8 (H) Weight – 320 kg It consists of dehulling unit, sieve unit, screw conveyor, blower, cyclone separator and splitter. It operates using 3 hp single phase electric motor. One semiskilled and another unskilled labour are required to operate the mill. The space requirement is 250 m2 (50 m2 room and 200 m2 drying yard).The whole grain, dal, broken, husk and powder are separated mechanically. Pulses are transported to commercial dal mills in urban areas and finished product goes back for consumption to villages which impose burden of transportation on producer as well as consumer. However, a sizable portion of pulses were milled by burr mills, where the recovery seldom exceeds 55%. In order to have solution to these problems the PKV mini dal mill was developed with cleaning and grading of grains as well as polishing of split dal in a single unit and commercialized.
Performance results (efficiency, capacity of operation, losses etc.) The processing capacity of dal mill is 100 -125 kg/h for pigeon pea and 125 – 150 kg/h for green gram and black gram. The respective dal recoveries are 72 – 75 % and 80 – 82 %.
Cost (initial investment and operating cost in Rs/h and Rs/unit output) Cost of unit – 55000/- (Excluding Tax) Initial investment – Rs. 60,000/- Operating cost - Rs. 175/q of raw material (Pigeon pea) and  Rs. 220/h
How the new technology will impact the income of the farmers? Increased dal recovery of about 17 % can be achieved by using PKV mini dal mill over conventional system besides decrease in losses. Maximum unit operations are mechanized which results in significant reduction in labour and time of operation. Dusty atmosphere is avoided.

How the new technology will impact the income of the farmers? Plum is an important temperate fruit grown in Kashmir valley. However after harvest more than 30% of the fruit is lost due to unscientific handling and non availability of post harvest infrastructural facilities. Due to high juice content and presence of antioxidants, it is most suited for processing. The production of this product has not only resulted in reduction in post harvest losses but a new processed product with tremendous consumer acceptability has been introduced in the market. The introduction of this improved product from plum has not only better shelf life but has been found superior in terms of quality and safety. Besides the adoption of technology will generate employment to unemployed youth leading to improvement in their economic conditions. Utilization of plum for product development will produce minimum of 121 working days for minimum of 4 persons/annum/processing plant with a capacity to process two quintal of plum per day.

Coriander splitter

The seeds of coriander are required to be splitted into two halves before sowing for good seed germination and also processing it as mouth freshner. Traditionally the seeds are splitted manually and this operation involves drudgery and more time besides post harvest losses in terms of seed damage. The mechanized operation is therefore essential. Hence a machine to split the coriander was designed and developed at CIPHET. The machine is powered by 1 hp motor with capacity 60-80 kg/hr. The machine is equipped with two rollers of 6.5 cm dia and 10cm long. The differential speed is provided in two rollers so that coriander would break in two halves. The gear type metering device is provided in the splitter. The machine is able to split the coriander at moisture content up 14.2 %.
