Design and development of ginger garlic paste machine

Ginger and Garlic Paste is mainly used as a condiment in various food preparation and also serves as a carminative and gastric stimulant in many medicine preparations. As a condiment, it is used for flavoring mayonnaise and Tomato Ketchup sauce, Salads, meat sausages, chutney, pickles, Biryani, Fried Rice etc. The project is about fabrication of mechanical crusher which would help to making a paste for full size ginger and garlic material. This project aims to design a crusher that could be installed anywhere and would aid crush of full size ginger and garlic. This project involves the process of designing the crusher considering forces required for crushing and ergonomic factor that an operator needs. The design of this machine is such that it would require optimum load to crush and will not strain the user or operator. The crusher is designed based in the simple principle or a mechanism which is Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism where the rotary motion from the motor is connected to crushing plates that crushes materials. The Designed components were then assembled and analyzed using analysis software and the required dimensions of the crusher for the optimum performance have been found. These data’s were then transformed into a real time model by manufacturing it. The designed crusher was then checked and the crusher effectively crushed all the components with ease and with reduced human effort.
