Abstract:
Cleaning root vegetables is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, which can decrease efficiency and increase costs in vegetable processing. Additionally, manual labor increases the risk of food contamination and reduces food safety. This work is carried out to design and fabricate a root vegetable cleaning machine that is energy-efficient, automated, and customizable to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability in vegetable processing operations. Analyze the user needs and requirements, design and fabricate the machine using advanced technologies and customized solutions, and test and validate for cleaning efficiency, energy consumption, and food safety. The development of an energy-efficient, automated, and customizable root vegetable cleaning machine is crucial for improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in vegetable processing. Future work should focus on improving automation, energy efficiency, customization, food safety, versatility, cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, remote monitoring, and integration with sustainability initiatives. Develop advanced technologies and customized solutions to meet the evolving needs and requirements of different users and markets in root vegetable cleaning machines. This will improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability in vegetable processing operations.
