For a faster manufacturing of the saccharine laddu balls and transportation of the same to the selling counters situated outside the main temple complex at the famous hill temple of Lord Venkateswara the management on Saturday pressed into use an additional laddu-boondi conveyor belt at its laddu manufacturing hall.
At present there are two conveyor belts functioning inside the ‘laddu potu’. While finished laddu balls are transported on the first conveyor the second, which is more sophisticated in nature, can transport both the laddus as well as the boondi – the main ingredient required in the making the laddus.
To encounter any eventuality arising out of the dysfunction of the second conveyor system and at the same time to ensure an uninterrupted supply of boondi to its kitchen for the manufacturing of the laddu balls the TTD as a precautionary measure preferred installation of an additional laddu-boondi conveyor at a cost of Rs.45 lakh.
More capacity
Talking to media persons the TTDs JEO K.S. Srinivasa Raju said the commissioning of the additional conveyor has enhanced the conveyance capacity to eight lakh laddus from the existing three lakh laddus every day. He complimented India Cements of Chilamkur in Kadapa district for completing the installation works in a record time of thirty days.
