History of Indian Mixers

History of Indian Mixers

The first ever Mixers made in India was the Sumeet Mixie. The history of ‘Sumeet’ the first Indian mixie is interesting.
Mr. Satya Prakash, the founder of Sumeet Mixie Company, was asked by his wife to repair a Braun mixie she was using. Satya Prakash inspected the burnt Braun mixie and it dawned on him that the foreign mixies were not suitable for the rough and tough Indian cooking needs. These foreign mixies did not have the power to handle the spice grinding, dosa grinding and other tough jobs required by Indian housewives.
So Satya Prakash Mathur, an employee of Siemens India, ventured out to make a factory for Indian made Mixers suitable for the Indian Kitchen. In 1963 Mr. Satya Prakash Mathur floated a company called ‘Power Control and Appliances Company’. 4 other employees of Siemens India also joined Mr. Mathur. By 1965 they had a good design of a workable small electric motor for the mixie. By 1970 they designed a single jar for both dry mixing and wet grinding. By 1980 Sumeet were selling about 50,000 Mixers every month. For a long time Sumeet was the only Mixie available in India and it was the dream of every Indian Housewife to own a Sumeet Mixie. After the death of Mr. Satya Prakash Mathur, the Company’s fortunes declined and the Sumeet Mixie design was copied by other start-up companies and Sumeet sort of disapeared from the market.

How to Select a Water Purifier for Home Use? While you may come across many water purifiers online, the below- mentioned parameters will help you decide which one is the best water purifier for home use. Different types of water purifiers – which one is suitable for your water? Is your water surface water (from rivers and lakes) which has been supplied by the municipality or is it groundwater (from borewells, supplied by tankers)? If it is surface water, supplied by the municipal corporation, chances are that the TDS (dissolved impurities) are low and you need to only protect yourself from microbiological impurities like bacteria and viruses.However, if your water is groundwater supplied by tankers, there may be a higher level of dissolved impurities, altering the taste of the water, and at higher levels may affect your long term health. As a thumb rule, if you get groundwater, check the TDS with a simple TDS meter. If your TDS is above 500 ppm, then choosing an RO water pu...

Why buy an Inverter AC?

Why buy an Inverter AC? Inverter air conditioners are more powerful and more energy efficient. They offer around 50% more energy savings and are more efficient at maintaining temperature as compared to a non-inverter model. The Inverter is a device in the air conditioner that controls frequency of power supplied to the compressor motor. In Inverter air conditioners, on achieving the desired temperature the compressor speed slows and the refrigerant rate drops, and the air conditioner works at a lower capacity. As a result, lower average power is consumed offering energy and electricity savings. In contrast, non-inverter air conditioners have a fixed speed compressor that cannot increase or decrease their speed and refrigerant flow rate as per the cooling requirements of the room. The compressor stops on reaching the desired temperature and when the temperature rises again the compressor & refrigerant flow restart. This stop/start cycle continues in a non-inverter air conditio...
