Abstract

An automated grinding device is developed for domestic and commercial purpose that grinds, collects batter and cleans the grinder without human involvement. This system converts the rice into batter and after the completion of grinding, the collecting and cleaning is done automatically. The smart grinder is interfaced with an embedded system based on ARM LPC2148 and the prototype is validated. For grinding rice and other food items, AC Induction Motor coupled with mechanical arrangement is used. The DC Motor controls both the wiper movement and valve mechanism. The knob is used to decide which process (wiper or valve) is to be performed. Valve and Wiper helps in the automated batter collection process. Finally the cleaning is done. The status of the system is displayed in the LCD.
