Info

Lack of spatial organisation. Also work area needs to be swept regularly to keep it clean. Posture strains neck and back, uncomfortable to maintain for the long durations required for rolling. Poor light causes considerable eyestrain. Weighing machine can be placed closer to worker. Table for levelling can be smaller and placed toward left. Here worker has to strain and reach across table. Ready rolled sticks piled high along the perimeter of the shed, in damp and dark areas, with poor accessibility. Lighting inside is inadequate for the size of the shed. Need more points located above the workers and slightly to the front to prevent shadows falling onto the work area. 26 N.A.S for Bamboo Incense Stick Cluster, Nalbari | 2013 | Mridul Mitra, Design Consultant | Email: mridul.mitra@gmail.com
Unit 2 - The Northeast Incense Powder Company Manager: Mr. D. Sarma Contact number: 98641 20348 Date of visit: 19 th July, 2013 The Northeast Incense Powder factory, established in June, 2013, is located in Sonapur, near Guwahati. It is one of the initiatives of the Bahumukhi Pratibha Vikas Samiti, an NGO run by Mr.Bani Kalita. The factory was established with the intention of entering the round stick agarbatti market, and is equipped with round stick making machines, bamboo slicers, stick polishers, stick sizers, pulverisers and powdering machine. As the factory initiated operations very recently, it is not yet running to capacity, with an average daily output of a 100 kgs with two operational round stick machines. The round sticks produced here, are sent to TIhu and other areas, for the completion of the manufacturing process, by rolling the masala onto the sticks. According to the manager, Mr. D. Sarma, round sticks allow for better fixing of the masala and is more in demand by their buyers. The factory sources raw materials such as charcoal from Hyderabad and powders it in the facility. Other material such as leaves and bark are also locally sourced, powdered and send to the hand-rolling units. Mr.D.
