at best quality with low manufacturing cost so from the point of view of hoteling industry it is very important that customer should get immediate service of food. Chapati is integral part of Indian cuisine. Making chapatis is a routine activity of indian families and is a time consuming and monotonous job. .Lots of difficulties are facing while making for mass production of chapatis. Dough mixing, chapatti making and its heating are time consuming job.Hence our study is to design and manufacture a semi-automated machine for time saving in commercial applications. Sorghum is a gluten free cereal and forms the staple diet of a majority of the populations living in the semi-arid tropics dough So chapatti making machine would be the best option for complete that requirement which would increase the cooking productivity with high quality.. It is required to design a chappati making machine for Indian household of compact size which can be easily used in kitchen,automated, easily cleanable, low in maintenance and affordable by middle class Indian family. This project work involves the design and fabrication of Chapati Making machine for Indian household which is easy to use,consumes less time and involves less maintainence.It consists of various links and mechanism to make the process automated with the arduino microcontroller.Usually for making 10 chapatis it takes almost an hour, and three times in a day may take lot of productive time. But,we can make 100 counts/hr. We developed setup for making chapatis with minimum cost; setup produces multiple chapatis per cycle.Mixing, pressing and making chapatis and its heating is integrated in one system.To develop a automated chapati making machine the following concepts are involved: 1.Kneading mechanism 2.Rack arrangement 3.Cutting Process 4.Pressing mechanism 5.Heating(Joule’s heating law)6.Conveyor 7.Arduino microcontroller. It can be used in households,hotels,canteens,schools and college canteens.
