Automated paste preparation machine

Abstract

Ayurveda industry is one of the golden industries in ancient India which over the period had declined is witnessing a new surge up; this paper describes an automated approach for developing automated paste preparation machines for the health sector and Ayurveda industry. Automated paste preparation machine models are prepared on the basis of requirements and then tested and finally go into the manufacturing stage. This paper basically describes the methodology of preparation of machine models. In these automated paste preparation machine models, we use cam follower mechanism for the timed opening of valves to ensure the correct amount of ingredients to be instilled into the bowl. Control of opening and closing of valves through cam follower mechanism is achieved by the programming of gear motor with the help of Arduino Uno. An experimental case study is presented to show advantages, which include a verified reduction in model development time and improved modeling consistency and quality.
