Gravies Manufacturing
Plant

Ready to Eat Gravies and Ready to Cook Gravy Mixes are finding their place in the Indian market. With increasing urbanization, a shift towards convenience products is significant. For long, the need for readymade gravies has evaded the innovative spirit of food manufacturers. However, the demand from households, hoteliers and caterers has led to an emergence of this fresh category of convenience foods. The different types of gravies that manufacturers can produce are:ï‚·

  • Gravies for meat preparations (like Rogan Josh, Madras Kurma and Mutton Chilly fry) ï‚·

  • Gravies for fish preparations (like South Indian Fish Gravy, Rohu Masala, Fish Fry masala and Goan Fish Curry)

  • Multi-purpose gravy (like Onion Tomato gravy, Tomato Makhani gravy, Yellow gravy, Green gravy) ï‚·

  • Gravies for Vegetarian Cuisine (like Curry Masala gravy, Soya Chaap gravy, Kadai Masala gravy)

  • Gravies for marinating Tandoori chicken, Kebabs, Vegetables (like Malai Tikka gravy, Tikka Masala gravy, Achari Masala gravy)

  • Gravies for Manchurian

Market Size of Ready to Cook Gravies

Ready to Eat/Ready to Cook/Ready to Use food products market in India is more than INR 2100 Cr in 2019 and the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18%. Ready to Cook market is segmented into non-frozen and frozen RTC product with the frozen taking bulk share of the market at present. However, non-frozen RTC is expected to grow at a faster pace compared to frozen RTC food. The demand for convenience products like readymade gravies in increasing rapidly among the HoReCa as well as household segment. 

Ingredients used in Gravies Manufacturing

  • Vegetable Paste/Puree

  • Salt

  • Spices

  • Flavours, Essential Oils, Oleoresins

  • Preservatives

High Shear & High Viscosity Mixing Technology
for Gravies Manufacturing

High-shear mixers or high-shear homogenizers are used to produce standard mixtures of ingredients that do not naturally mix. This industrial machinery disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible. A rotor, together with a stationary component known as a stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used in a mixing tank containing the solution to be mixed, and in a pipe through which the solution passes, to create shear. A high-shear homogenizer mixer is used to create emulsions, suspensions, lyosols (gas dispersed in liquid), and granular products. It is used in the food, pharmaceutical, adhesives, chemical, cosmetic, and plastics industries for emulsification, homogenization, particle size reduction, and dispersion.

Key design factors in the high shear mixers include the diameter of the rotor and its rotational speed, the distance between the rotor and the stator. 

Gravy Manufacturing Plant

United Group's Gravies Plant uses the high shear and high viscosity mixing technology for production of gravies, marinades and curries with a smooth, creamy texture and consistency.

​

​

United Group's Gravies Plant incorporates various equipments as per different capacities. A typical tomato ketchup plant that manufactures 250kg of material in 30 minutes, following technology is used:

​

  1. A Double Jacketed Steamer

  2. Agitator

  3. Bottom Entry Mixer

  4. Inline Homogenizer Mixer

  5. Storage Tanks

  6. Control Panel

  7. Additional pipelines and vessels

​

Use of Multi-Mill in Large Scale Gravies Production

KETCHUP-STEAMER.png

In large scale production gravies production of more than 500kg in 30 minutes, the capabilities of a standard gravies plant need to be advanced with the use of intensely robust and highly efficient High-Shear Multi Mill. The Multi-Mill increases the plant's efficiency to process high viscosity products at a high speed. 
 

Advantages of Multi-Mill for Gravies Production:

  • Can Process Capacity 1 Tonne/Hour to 20 Tonnes/Hour

  • The same machinery can be used for multiple applications, simply by changing the workheads

  • 100% Efficiency, ensuring no bypass of product through the homogenization process

  • The material used for making is SS-304

  • 20-40 HP Third-Party Motor

  • Easy to Clean and Maintain
