- we visited shed with a new style large mechanical (but non-machine) press - it was broken at the time we visited - I couldn't see any significant advantage over the trad.  wooden house type press - for new press must climb up on platform to fill with dough - makes a fancier krupuk because dough from above (?) not forced out below 
- new press from Bengkel has lan Bulut "Telaga Mas" , in Karangayu area of Semarang - a previous model ordered form Holo didn't work well 
- only only of the large presses in the village 
- trad. tool requires a thicker tool (???) and force of pressing. comes from wt of person sitting on the tool
- process: bumbu(?) boiled with water, this flavored water mixed with tapioca to form dough,passed(?)through press and shaped, boiled, dried - may then be sold or fried first. 
large wajan costs 13,500 up to 55,000 for best quality
