DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT OF PEDAL OPERATED MULTIPURPOSE FOOD PROCESSING UNIT- A REVIEW

 This project relates to the design and fabrication of �Design and Development of Pedal Operated Multipurpose Food Processing Unit�. This is a technology that may develop as an alternative to the electrically operated stationary machines with high efficiency and portability. The project is related to the food processing unit. Current activities include analysis as well as experimental work. After analysis this project has developed what quantity and what kind of raw material is required to produce different food items. Under experimental work the project deals with the proper functioning of the machine. The machine is run by a person seated on a seat provided,operating the pedal which connects the machine with a chain drive to the different units of the machine,and the machine starts producing the required food items such as potato chips,vermicelli (sevai),slices of various vegetables etc. The main purpose of the machine is not only to eliminate the usage of electricity. The project is portable and consumes less floor area. This project is a welcome edition and a new concept where we thought this as an ideal replacement for the electrically operated stationary machines.
