Design of a small scale cereal packaging machine suitable for developing countries

Abstract

Many food shortages which are being encountered in developing countries are due to lack of effective packaging which results in food loss. Packaging machines manufactured in developed countries are highly automated which make them incompatible with the capacities handled in developing countries. Considering a number of concepts, the selected one is a small scale cereal packaging machine which has a capability of sealing 1kg of any cereal per minute.
