DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRUITS OR VEGETABLES PEELER CUM SLICER AND DRYER

Abstract

Peeling of vegetables and slicing is one of the most frequent processes in the food industry hotels, canteens, and restaurants even for household purposes. Peeling is a method of removing the inedible or unpleasant rind or skin from raw produce. The creation of a portable vegetable grading system based on a microcontroller system for small agro-industries is discussed in this study. The mechanical system is made of low-cost materials and is constructed in the shape of an inclined and segmented plane to eliminate the need for a conveyor belt. The autonomous system gathers IR and ultrasonic sensors, which are positioned on top of the analysis region, and then analyses the microcontroller, which has previously been programmed.
