Background
Shelled peanuts are produced in 50 kg jute bags. The bags are manually
opened and the peanuts are transferred to a daily storage hopper. The
frying medium, refined oil is procured in 15 kg tins and stored. Salt is
procured in 100 kg bags. The process consists of heating the oil in a large
frying pan. The oil from the tin is transferred manually to the frying pan.
The pan holds 25 kg of oil per batch. The heating is done by large LPG
(liquefied petroleum gas) burners. After the oil attains a temperature of
190oC, 10 kg of peanuts are fried with periodic churning. The fried peanuts
are removed and transferred to a tray. Requisite quantity of salt is added to
the peanuts and is thoroughly mixed. The peanuts are cooled and packed in
sizes of 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1000 g.
After a few batches of frying, during which make up oil is also added, the oil
gets contaminated with dirt, and broken and burnt peanuts. This oil is
unloaded into empty cans and disposed off as waste oil. After every
unloading, the pan is washed with soap and detergents, including several
water rinses before the next batch is started.
