Development and Implementation of a Proto-type Pop-Corn Machine with Aluminium and Glass for Nigeria

Abstract

This paper involves designing the system and also constructing a unit that can be used to pop cereals. In the olden days, crude and tedious methods were used for popping corn until this machine was discovered, its operation is simple, it does not waste energy or time, and it can pop large quantities of corn within a short time. And lastly, it can be operated automatically. The popcorn-making machine is constructed with locally made materials at a reduced cost.The con popcorn machine is one of the fastest means of converting corn into another substance in a faster way than using kerosene stove, firewood or other primitive sources. The Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation was estimated as (N 51,300 or $ 213.75) with the choice of materials used, the cost of production and maintenance of the machine is considerably fair and the durability is reliable.
