PLC Based Automatic Cooking

Idea by Devendra Chitale

WHAT MY IDEA IS?

Large quantity required for cooking needs
some kind of Automation
Idea for college project will be a smaller
assembly area where we would try to make a
single pulav rice for example
The cost of mechanical assembly and PLC
along with other components should be taken
into account

Mix spices
Vessel 3

Common Vessel

Keep a manual
strirrer/or motor
based stirrer if
needed
Temperature
control of
electrical hot
plate can be set
at first

Hot Plate

Rice
Vessel 4

Components
Vessels
Solenoid valves/ motor door for
vegetables/rice
Automatic switch on/off for hot plate
operation
Level sensors if required for
water/oil/rice/vegetables if required (two are
sufficient for water and oil

Process
Calculate the amount required for each ingredient to
be put inside the common vessel
Make a step wise logic for opening of solenoid valve /
motor operated door for adding the ingredients
For eg: first oil second spices third vegetables then rice
then water and salt.
Turn on the hot plate before and then reduce the
temperature after a certain time( you can use a boiled
water by controlling it with temperature control if
possible and then operate it through solenoid valve :
addition to the Project)
