, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present disclosure generally relates to a grinder. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a grinding machine for improving grinding quality of food materials by exerting pressure on the food materials.

BACKGROUND
[002] Generally, grind the food material by using the grinder. The grinding of the food material includes producing batter, chutney, paste, masala, puree, chocolate, and the like. Existing wet grinders /dry grinders are appliances that grind the material due to their weight between two rolling surfaces. A container in which stones are tied or joined to a connecting around which the stones rotate. The container has a stone base which rotates and provides friction between rolling surfaces and a fixed surface. The process of grinding food material is time-consuming.

[003] Further, the existing grinders operate for long hours to grind the food materials, so that the grinders generate heat, which changes the quality and taste of the food material. Existing grinders cannot grind fast and avoid the heat. Further, the existing grinders grind with only 50% of the base stone diameter. Existing grinders have less space available, and the quantity of grinding material is dependent on the space. Existing grinders have stone pairs and diameter of the each stone is high, hence the quality of grinding is low. The user faces problem with lifting of stones of the existing grinders after the grinding operation due to heavy weight of the stones.

[004] In the light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for a certain grinding machine with novel methodologies that would overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.
