Analysis the Design of Pulverizer Machine

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design and fabricate a pulverizer machine for efficient preparation of masala juice for buttermilk. The machine aims to extract the juice from the fresh masala ingredients such as ginger, garlic and chili peppers, while minimizing waste and preserving the nutritional value of the ingredients. The pulverizer machine is designed to handle a variety of masala ingredients and consists of a feed hopper, grinding chamber and juice extraction system. The grinding chamber is equipped with a rotating shaft and hammer blades that pulverize the ingredients into a fine paste. The juice extraction system uses a hydraulic press to extract the juice from the paste.The machine is fabricated using stainless steel and food-grade materials to ensure hygiene and durability. The design is optimized for easy operation, maintenance and cleaning. The performance of the machine is evaluated based on its efficiency, productivity and quality of the final product. The results show that the machine can extract juice at a rate of 20 liters/h, with a yield of 80-90%. The machine has the potential to benefit entrepreneurs and small-scale industries involved in juice production.

Introduction

Masala juice preparation is a key step in making buttermilk, traditionally done by manually grinding and squeezing spices like ginger, garlic, and chili peppers—an effort-intensive process. To meet rising demand, this project aims to design and fabricate a pulverizer machine that efficiently and hygienically extracts masala juice from various spices. The machine will include a grinding chamber and juice extraction system, built with stainless steel and food-grade materials for durability and hygiene.

A literature survey highlights the complexity of designing such pulverizers, reviewing existing technologies, traditional and mechanized methods, and quality control. This provides a foundation for an efficient, safe, and effective machine design while identifying future innovation areas.

The methodology involves understanding spice types and properties, sourcing materials (stainless steel, mild steel, electric motor, mixing blades, bearings, belts), designing and modeling the machine using CAD software, fabricating components through cutting, welding, and assembly, followed by prototype testing and iterative improvements.

The design focuses on efficiency, safety, and user-friendliness, with consideration of power sources and ease of maintenance. Testing phases include unit testing of components, prototype and simulation testing, performance and capacity evaluation, quality checks (e.g., blade durability, taste testing), and gathering user feedback to ensure practical usability.

Conclusion

In conclusion, The design and fabrication of a pulverizer machine for buttermilk preparation was successfully completed. The machine was designed to address the limitations of traditional methods of buttermilk preparation, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often result in inconsistent quality.The machine was designed with a focus on efficiency, productivity, and quality. The machine\'s performance was evaluated in terms of its efficiency, productivity, and quality of the final product. The results showed that the machine was able to prepare buttermilk with a higher efficiency, productivity, and quality compared to traditional methods. The machine\'s design and fabrication were done with a focus on ease of operation, maintenance, and cleaning. The machine\'s components were made of food-grade materials to ensure hygiene and safety. The project\'s objectives were successfully achieved, and the machine was found to be efficient, productive, and able to produce high-quality buttermilk. The machine is suitable for small-scale and medium-scale dairy industries, and can be used to prepare buttermilk for both domestic and commercial purposes.
