Then I wondered, why not try making machinery and use. I see, it is also a successful businessman snacks and rarely lose, "said the bespectacled man was beginning to tell the food business.

Jayadi was hesitant because he had absolutely no business experience of food. Moreover, the background is a bachelor of engineering. Creating a production machine may not be a problem for him. "But, what about marketing later," he said. However, his determination to realize the machine to produce snack foods do not go out.


Experiments were carried out by trials. Jayadi pick fruit crisps business on the grounds, in the fruit easy to obtain residence. The machine was finally realized, a large tube-shaped roaster is equipped absorbing moisture.

Homemade machine that will make the fruit without water content. Production machines have become, it does not mean everything is ready. When first tested, the results are not perfect.


Fruit crisps are not satisfactory because it is not too crunchy. Jayadi not broke. Trial after trial was being conducted. In its calculations, at least 199 times he tried to

"Only in the trial to-200, I was satisfied with the results. The results of pan suitable for consumption and health can be accounted for, "said Jayadi, adding that efforts were fruit chips pioneered in 2005.

Jayadi if not then retreat with the situation. Improvements continue to be made for improvement. Any gaps that a weak point he fixed it. One of them on production machines. He continued to fix it to the frying machine can actually produce chips are crisp and tasty. Interestingly, Jayadi has a unique recipe in the face of adversity. What is it?

At the time his fellow entrepreneurs other chips failed to change the watermelon into dry snacks, Jayadi able to do it. Through a series of trials, this friendly man managed to turn the waters were full of fruit, dry chips. Not surprisingly, the ability to create food products that made his name flying. Trademark Vigour also skyrocketed.

"One of the advantages Vigour can indeed change the water-rich fruits into chips. We assure you, that could make a new Vigour. Another advantage, the sophistication of production machinery we do not lose the big companies, "he said.
"Everything was automated and production while maintaining quality and cleanliness of the place of production became the main capital in achieving success in the marketplace," he continued enthusiastically.
