Automated Jaggery Powder Pulverizer

The project focuses on developing an automated system to crush jaggery into powder form. The system employs a mobile-controlled rover using an ESP8266 module and the Blynk app, allowing for remote control via Wi-Fi. Temperature is continuously monitored by a thermocouple connected to a MAX6675 module, which provides digital input. When the temperature drops below 120°C, a DC motor with an attached blade is activated by an L293D motor driver, and a buzzer sounds for 5 seconds to alert the operator. This mechanism ensures timely intervention to prevent potential damage to the jaggery. In addition, the system monitors the humidity of the caramelized jaggery. If the humidity level reaches 60%, indicating that the process should be stopped, the buzzer is triggered as an alert. The integration of mobile control, temperature sensing, and humidity monitoring creates an efficient, user-friendly system for automating the jaggery powder crushing process. Utilizing commonly available components and wireless communication technology, the proposed solution is cost-effective and scalable, making it ideal for small to medium-scale jaggery production facilities.

Abstract

The project focuses on developing an automated system to crush jaggery into powder form. The system employs a mobile-controlled rover using an ESP8266 module and the Blynk app, allowing for remote control via Wi-Fi. Temperature is continuously monitored by a thermocouple connected to a MAX6675 module, which provides digital input. When the temperature drops below 120°C, a DC motor with an attached blade is activated by an L293D motor driver, and a buzzer sounds for 5 seconds to alert the operator. This mechanism ensures timely intervention to prevent potential damage to the jaggery. In addition, the system monitors the humidity of the caramelized jaggery. If the humidity level reaches 60%, indicating that the process should be stopped, the buzzer is triggered as an alert. The integration of mobile control, temperature sensing, and humidity monitoring creates an efficient, user-friendly system for automating the jaggery powder crushing process. Utilizing commonly available components and wireless communication technology, the proposed solution is cost-effective and scalable, making it ideal for small to medium-scale jaggery production facilities.
