Design of Intelligent Mixer Machine for Food Applications

As numerous innovative technologies are taking place in food manufacturing industries, the design of mixer machine for food application is also in concern. Food mixer is primarily used for mixing, blending and grinding food components all together. The main focus of this literature is to design an intelligent mixer machine for food application namely “keropok lekor” for consumption. The idea is brainstorming and the final design is selected based on three concepts. Criteria were set on the basis of ease of machining, stability, strength, withstand force, cost effectiveness and design simplicity. Various processes and machines such as milling machine, lathe machine, drilling machine and bending machine were used to design the mixer. There is a calculation of the torque and power of the shaft which is further used in simulations to evaluate the strength of the design. The goal of the paper will be achieved if the mixer machine is successfully produced and works as planned. In conclusion, the machine that has been designed can be used to process keropok lekor successfully.
