The kitchen knife manufacturing industry in Kerala requires a small Salt Bath Hardening Furnace to enable the quality of their products. The furnace should have a connected load of less than 20kW enabling it to operate without a dedicated transformer. Since the products are relatively small in size, the primary objective is to find an economical and efficient solution for their hardening process. MSME DFO Thrissur facilitated the DST supported Technology Enabling Centre ( TEC ) managed by Amrita Viswavidya Peetham University, Amritapuri, Kollam, Kerala to take up it for a solution. AMRITA - TEC, Amrita University successfully developed a solution and A Salt bath hardening furnace developed by AMRITA - TEC was handed over to Shri.
