Students develop 'multiple dosa machine'

June 20, 2011

Mangalore, June 20: Have you heard of a machine that makes nothing but pancakes (Dosas)? That too 350 dosas per hour!

The final year students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Srinivas Institute of Technology, Valachil, have come up with the project so as to revolutionize the method of preparation of a famous food item pancake of South India, traditionally known as dosa.

For automation of food production a new machine 'Multiple Dosa Machine (MDM)' was introduced by the final year B.E Mechanical Engineering students, Pawan Raj, Vandana Lobo, Joel D'souza, and Jeson Martis under the guidance of Prof. Neelakantha V Londhe and Rohit Jayaraja.

This MDM can produce about 350 dosas per hour. A disc is made to rotate slowly by using the electric motor and a gear mechanism.

The raw material of dosa i.e. batter is made to fall over the disc of pans at intervals using a quick release pneumatic valve. The disc will be heated by using independent gas burner. Yummy! Your Dosa is ready!

The MDM will be more applicable to hostels, hotels, and restaurants for quick dosa preparation and also will be economical, say the inventors.

“The Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology has given a financial support for the project. The Head of the Department Dr. Dilip Kumar and Principal Dr. Srinivas Mayya D administered the project,” said one of the students.

The President of the College Administration CA A Raghavendra Rao and Vice President A Srinivas Rao have appreciated the project.
