Abstract
As the world is tending toward automation systems, the need for the replacement of human energy in Africa kitchen with automatic machines to eliminate the tedious, laborious and time consuming indigenous process of preparing solid food cannot be overemphasized. This paper presents a locally designed and fabricated solid food processing machine capable of producing foods like amala, eba, semo etc. The inputs to the machine are water at room temperature and raw solid food ingredient (yam flour, garri, semo, etc) at aspecific time. The water is heated to its boiling point by a 1 kW heater with the temperature monitored by LM 35 temperature sensor when the ingredient is added. The mixture is handled by the electric motor which stir it for some time to desired texture. The stirrer runs at slow speed with the aid of gear reduction technique. The output which is succulent solid food is manually ejected by pushing the ejecting rod forward at the output. The machine was constructed and tested and the performance showed that the concept can work satisfactorily if improved upon.
