Design and Fabrication of Automated Mashing Machine

Abstract

A big market exists for machineries in food processing. For each different type of cooking there exist a different variety of vessels and machines. For mashing one can find a variety of devices and machines. However, some are small and simple devices and other are big and bulky machines. The Mashing Machine, our mini project, is a medium scale machine that combines the cam and shaft mechanism and spring mechanism. A motor rotates the shaft, the shaft in turn rotates the cam. The masher is connected to the cam through linkages and spring mechanism. The frame is mostly made from mild steel.
