An Indigenous Automated GupChup Machine

Abstract

Today automation has been an integral part of the food industry as concerns over health and safety have increased worldwide. In this paper, we take up a simple local food delight of India, The GupChup, and design a product that can automate its making process to ensure that the best taste is available to its consumers without concerns over health or safety. The product is designed to take input of Puris, boiled potatoes, spicy water and required spices and ultimately produce the GupChups. The automation ensures that the job is done faster, safer and skill independent. In
addition to it, attempt has been made to ensure that standardisation of GupChup process is made such that the taste of the GupChup is conserved and ensured every time for the consumer.
A study of automation processes available has been made to develop an automation that fits the
purpose. The final evaluation has been made afte
r experimental procedures to produce the required
automation
