This document presents the conceptual design of a Khandvi making machine developed using 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software SolidWorks.
Khandvi is a traditional Indian snack made through a manual and labor-intensive process. The conceptual design aims to automate and mechanize the Khandvi making process to overcome limitations of the traditional method such as unhygienic conditions, non-uniform quality, and being labor-intensive.
The conceptual design consists of main components including a cooking vessel with an agitator, a spreading belt and spreader plate for spreading the cooked batter, and a cutting roller. The design was developed in SolidWorks based on the traditional process steps and considering
