Types of Clay Diya Making Machines
​There are generally two main types of machines for making clay diyas:
​Manual Machines: These are operated by a hand lever. The user places a lump of clay into a die mold and then presses the lever to shape the diya. These machines are a good option for small-scale production or for home-based businesses. The production capacity is lower than automated machines, but they are generally more affordable. The images you provided show this type of machine.
​Price: Manual machines can range in price, with some models starting around ₹30,000 to ₹45,000.
​Features: They are typically made of mild steel, are low-noise, and are easy to operate and maintain.
​Semi-Automatic and Automatic Machines: These machines are powered by a motor (electric or hydraulic). They can produce diyas at a much faster rate, making them suitable for commercial and industrial production, especially during peak seasons like Diwali. 
​Price: These machines are significantly more expensive, with prices ranging from ₹45,000 for some semi-automatic models to over ₹1,00,000 for fully automatic ones.
​Features: They offer high production capacity (hundreds to thousands of diyas per hour), consistent output in terms of size and shape, and are designed for continuous, high-volume production. 
​Key Components
​Regardless of the type, a clay diya making machine typically consists of:
​Main Body/Frame: A sturdy structure, usually made of mild steel, that houses all the components. 
​Die Molds: These are the core components that give the diya its shape. They can be interchangeable to produce different designs. Your first image shows examples of these dies for both diyas and kulhads. 
​Pressing Mechanism: This is either a manual lever (as seen in your second image) or a hydraulic/pneumatic system that applies force to the clay within the die.
​Motor/Power Source: For semi-automatic and automatic machines, this provides the power to operate the pressing mechanism.
​The Manufacturing Process
​The general process of making a clay diya with a machine is as follows:
​Clay Preparation: The raw clay is first processed, often using a clay mixer or a pug mill, to get a uniform, soft, and pliable mixture.
​Molding: The prepared clay is placed into the die mold of the machine.
​Pressing: The machine's pressing mechanism is activated, either manually or automatically, to press the clay into the shape of the diya.
​Extraction: The molded diya is removed from the die.
​Drying and Firing: The raw, molded diyas are then left to dry completely before being fired in a kiln at high temperatures. 
​Finishing: After firing, the diyas are ready for any final finishing touches, such as painting or varnishing.
​These machines have revolutionized the traditional pottery business by significantly increasing production speed and efficiency while maintaining the cultural and artistic value of the products.
