  Grinders versus Mixers                                                           Why Us?                                             
  Availability of 220 Volt Products               

Very often, we are asked by customers on the when to buy a Wet Grinder v/s a Mixer.

The two products serve different purposes.

Grinders handle more volume and are best for grinding soaked rice and lentils,  chutneys containing coconut, larger volumes of masalas, dry coarse powders like sambhar powder, idly powder etc... In practice, grinders produce better quality idly batter for fluffy and soft idlies and crisp dosas.

Mixers are best for smaller volumes such as masalas, chutneys etc... In practice, mixers do not produce authentic rice batter or coconut chutneys, as they do not grind rice and coconuts fine enough. Mixers work very well to grind spices, vegetables, chutneys etc.. Also, in the same amount of time, a wet grinder can make much larger quantity of batter than a mixer can.

1) For more than 40 years, We are a Pioneer in the wet grinder industry - Having invented the concept of roller stones and the tilting grinders and have won awards from various quality bodies and the Government. More recently, we were the first to introduce the vertical style model (Maestro) as well as the first in the market to launch grinders with Timers. Many features on our  grinders are patented to provide you unique comforts and safety features.

2) We have the maximum number of grinder models and sizes to best suit your grinding and mixing needs.

2) Our grinders  use a Starting Capacitor - A starting capacitor gives an extra push to the motor while starting. So, even when you start the grinder with full load, the grinder will start itself . Many of the other brands do not have this and you will have to physically push the drum to make the grinder start rotating under load.

3) Only we use High Quality Hard Black Granite stone. .. Many competing brands use softer, cheaper non-Granite stones which will wear out sooner.

4) Only the very best and thick Salem Stainless Steel  is used in our grinders. Cheaper grades of Stainless Steel and thinner material used by other brands will form rust and holes in the drum after 2 or 3 years of use. 

5) Our grinders have only high quality food-grade plastic components are used within the drum. Other grinders may not have such food-grade components.

6) Excellent service and quality are assured with our products.
