Frequently Asked Questions
What machines are needed for Prakritik cow dung paint?
Cow dung processing unit, agitator mixing tank, colour dispersion unit (for coloured variants) and filling machine. IPCS recommends the complete machine set for your Prakritik paint factory.
What is the minimum investment including machine?
Minimum ₹6 lakh for a 50–200 L/day Prakritik paint factory — includes machine, formula and training. Raw material for first month is additional.
How is cow dung processed for paint production?
Raw cow dung is sieved to remove fibres, then deodorized using a natural lime treatment or mild heating process. Properly processed dung is odour-free, with consistent moisture content — essential for batch-to-batch quality.
Where can I source cow dung for the factory?
Locally from gaushala (cow shelters), dairy farms and individual farmers. Rural locations typically have abundant supply at very low cost. IPCS formula specifies moisture content and quality requirements.
How long does Prakritik paint machine setup take?
30–45 days from order to first trial batch — including machine delivery and installation (15–25 days), commissioning (2–3 days) and supervised trial batch (3–5 days).
What utilities does the Prakritik paint machine require?
Single-phase power for small units (50–200 L/day), clean water supply, 300–500 sq ft space and local cow dung source. Minimal utility requirements make it ideal for rural and semi-urban locations.
Can the machine produce both white and coloured Prakritik paint?
Yes — the base formula produces off-white/natural paint. Coloured variants (terracotta, ivory, yellow, red) are produced using the colour dispersion unit with mineral pigment addition.
What is the shelf life of Prakritik paint produced?
12–18 months with proper packaging and IPCS-recommended biocide addition. Packaging in sealed HDPE or tin containers is essential for full shelf life.
Does the machine come with warranty?
Yes — all machine components sourced by IPCS come with 12-month manufacturer warranty. IPCS facilitates any warranty claims during the support period.
Can I scale up production later?
Yes — the starter unit (50–200 L/day) can be scaled by adding a second agitator tank and additional filling capacity. IPCS plans the factory layout with future expansion in mind.
