In the traditional practice, the peanut candy is prepared manually which involves skilled labours. Also, the manual preparation of peanut candy is a time-consuming process and repeatability in taste is not always achievable. Hence, the manually prepared peanut candy products could not be fitted with the export standards.

However, many websites such as www.sweetkadai.com, www.pettikadai.com, etc., which export Indian sweets and snacks to foreign countries and the peanut candy went out of stock for up to 3 months since the production scale is not up to the mark to satisfy the local and offshore markets. So, it has very high market potential. Handling peanut candy at high temperature, compact and cutting into shapes is also very difficult. To mechanize this process, a prototype Eco-friendly Peanut Candy Making Machine is designed and the process of making candy is automated that resulted in less time consumption for making the candy product, minimum wastage and uniformity in taste. This device consists of two separate units named Peanut candy mixture and Peanut candy compactor cum cutter.
