A dhoop making machine is a piece of equipment used in the production of dhoop sticks, which are a type of incense traditionally used in various religious ceremonies and rituals in South Asia. Dhoop sticks are made from a mixture of fragrant ingredients, including wood powder, charcoal, aromatic oils, gums, and resins.
Here are the key features and functions typically found in a dhoop making machine:
-
Mixing unit: Dhoop making machines often include a mixing unit or mixer grinder to thoroughly blend the raw materials. This ensures a homogeneous mixture, which is essential for consistent quality and fragrance in the dhoop sticks.
-
Extrusion or molding mechanism: Once the raw materials are mixed, they are formed into the desired shape of dhoop sticks. Dhoop making machines may use extrusion or molding mechanisms to shape the mixture into cylindrical sticks of uniform size and thickness.
-
Cutting mechanism: After the dhoop sticks are formed, they need to be cut to the desired length. Dhoop making machines may incorporate cutting mechanisms that accurately cut the sticks to the specified size.
