Design and Development of a Compact and Motorised Vegetable Slicer Machine

This paper presents the design and development of a compact motorized vegetable slicer machine tailored for household and small-scale commercial use. The device addresses common challenges in conventional vegetable cutting methods, such as inconsistent slicing, time consumption, and hygiene issues. The system incorporates a 12V DC gear motor, a blade arrangement, and a safe feeding mechanism that efficiently slices a variety of vegetables, including carrots, radishes, onions, potatoes, and bananas. Built using readily available, cost-effective materials like mild steel, plywood, and rubber supports, the machine ensures durability, simplicity, and affordability. The slicer minimizes manual effort, reduces waste, and delivers uniform slice thickness with improved safety and efficiency. This work emphasizes practical kitchen innovation through low-power consumption and compact structural design, making it a valuable contribution to food processing automation. Future improvements are also discussed to enhance the slicer's performance and versatility.
