Research & Development Setup Facility
Appropriate Projects (India) Private Limited, established in 1992, designs and manufactures automatic food processing equipment and turnkey plants for traditional Indian food products. Research and development is central to how we work. We run a dedicated R&D facility in Theur, Pune, where our machines are developed, tested and demonstrated before they reach your production floor.
At this facility you can watch live trials of our equipment, see the machines in action and taste the actual products. This hands-on experience lets you judge machine performance for yourself and decide on the right machine capacity, fuel type and specifications based on real-world testing, not just a brochure.
Our R&D work is backed by an independent design setup and computer-aided design (CAD) systems, supported by a library of international specifications and standards for machinery. We continuously update our technology so that modern advancements go into every machine, and we build our equipment to perform consistently even when working conditions and raw materials vary.
This research has led to machines and process concepts that were new to the Indian market, including the fully automatic namkeen plant, chapati plant, papad plant, chakli machine and chikki plant, as well as Mysore Pak and peda making equipment. We also offer PLC-operated units that use microprocessors along with SCADA packages for controlled, efficient operation. Throughout, we make sure that our machines do not compromise the nutritional value or taste of the food being processed.
Beyond equipment, our R&D facility supports clients with product development consultancy, marketing solutions and product formulation services, helping them at every stage of their project. With more than 250 machines sold across India, Nepal and the UAE, we are always open to new challenges and to developing new products that match the evolving needs of the food industry.
