Development of an easy cutter / Razatul Aleesya Azrulnizam

One of the important utensils in the kitchen is a cutter. The main function of the cutter is to cut vegetables or fruit from their original size to the intended size. The cutter that is available in the market mostly are manually operated and demand more energy especially when the material volume is large. From the literature review, the current food-cutting cutter has several limitations such as contamination, the need for more labor, and time-consuming due to manual processing. Some of the available easy cutters in the market operate on the concept of rotating grind powered by AC motor. Even though this technology has the advantage over manually operated cutters, it also has disadvantages because of how expensive and energy-intensive it is. To overcome this problem we suggest the usage of the substantial rack and pinion power as its main automation. The mechanism of the proposed easy cutter consists of a rigidly mounted steel plate for high pressure that is installed on a container that has cutting blades at its bottom. A rack and pinion circuit is used to activate the plate. It is expected to cut all kinds of food, be easy to use, and have low investment cost used.
