Design and fabrication of semi-automatic lemang cooker / Muhammad Norhakimi Khairul Jamali

Machines are a tool to help people in their daily lives. Machines make work a lot easier in terms of time, human energy, etc. This is applied to every human’s daily life including industrial cooking and home cooking. For example, lemang. Lemang is a traditional dish that is cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick on the fire. The problem with lemang preparation is to cook it. One of the problems is uneven combustion because it is hard to control fire and lemang rotation at the same time. To solve these problems a semiautomatic lemang cooker has been designed and fabricated. The design and fabrication of the semi-automatic lemang cooker provides a valuable contribution to traditional cooking practices, by combining traditional methods with modern automation to enhance cooking time, evenly cooking and user friendliness. The project goes through a design process using Solidworks and fabricates using drilling, cutting, grinding, and welding process. The materials that will be used are cast iron, aluminium, can, chain etc. The outcome to this project is to design the semi-automatic lemang cooker using solidworks and to fabricate the semi-automatic lemang cooker as a proof of concept. It is concluded the expected result for this project is to cook lemang evenly, user friendly and saves space
