Abstract
Roti is very popular in South Asia as it constitutes a major source of dietary protein and calories. Average consumption is about twice to thrice a day. With the rapid growth of population and focus on nutrition, the demand of roti is increasing every day, as it is an essential part of South Asian diet. With increasing demand, traditional roti making cannot keep pace. Roti making has become an established industry providing rotis to many businesses where roti are needed in bulk. As industrialization is moving toward automation, there is a need for automation in roti making. There are many automated and semi-automated roti makers currently in the market each serving a different need. The main aim is to design and fabricate an efficient, compact and user-friendly automatic roti machine to serve the needs of people and improve the quality of life. The machine will alleviate certain problems in cooking of roti. This machine has three main chambers comprises of dough ball formation chamber, pressing tower and cooking chamber. All these chambers are interlinked with one another, which consists of several mechanisms. The input is kneaded flour and final product is healthy and puffed roti.
