AI ASSISTED AUTOMATIC TAMARIND PULP EXTRACTOR FOR DOMESTIC SCALE

Abstract: The AI-Assisted Automatic Tamarind Pulp Extractor for Domestic Scale is developed to simplify and modernize the traditional process of tamarind pulp extraction. Conventional methods are labor-intensive, time- consuming, and often lack hygiene, making them inefficient for regular household use. This project introduces a compact and intelligent machine that automates the extraction and separation of tamarind pulp and seeds while ensuring safety and consistency.The system uses a DC gear motor to drive a perforated drum that efficiently crushes tamarind and separates pulp from seeds. An Arduino-based control unit integrated with temperature, vibration, and current sensors monitors the system in real time. A camera module is also included to analyze pulp quality, while the AI system detects abnormalities and provides alerts or automatic shutdown for safe operation.

The machine is built using food-grade materials to maintain hygiene and is designed to be compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective for domestic use. Experimental results show an average separation efficiency of about 97%, with a significant reduction in processing time and manual effort. This project highlights the potential of integrating artificial intelligence into household appliances for improved productivity, safety, and convenience.
