| dc.description.abstract | This report contains information on the design and construction of a pasta making machine from
locally available materials. This pasta making machine is a rotary type consisting of four major
components each made of stainless steel and it is manually operated. It works on the principle of
a combination of crank handle rotation and extrusion of infed pasta as the output.
Most of Ugandans do not have pasta maker machines, be it homes or restuarants and hotels and
always have to incur a high cost of purchase of pasta and its other products from markets which
are imported from foreign countries and in addition most of the existing machines are time and
high-power consuming.
This project report contains basic engineering terms with assumptions made and standard formula.
In addition, there are basic principles of mechanical engineering which were used in design of
major components of the pasta maker.
It contains five chapters with each chapter well organized. References, a budget and a project time
schedule were some of the information contained in project report | en_US |
