Dual Side French Fries Making Machine Project

French fries, a beloved global snack, are often the highlight of a meal, whether served alone or as a side dish. Their preparation, traditionally involving manual labor or semi-automatic processes, is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This is where our advanced Dual-Side French Fries Maker Machine steps in, revolutionizing the way fries are made.

Streamlined Efficiency with Dual-Side Technology

Our French Fries Making Machine, equipped with a dual-side cutting mechanism, drastically reduces the effort and time involved in fry preparation. This is particularly beneficial for high-volume settings like restaurants and food outlets. The unique scotch yoke mechanism enables efficient dual-side potato cutting, maximizing productivity.

Robust Design for Consistent Output

The machine features a robust AC motor, coupled with a reduction gearbox, delivering the necessary power for precise cutting. This power is directed to a scotch yoke piston, moving in a horizontal direction, which then enables the motor’s power to be utilized in both directions for double-speed cutting.

User-Friendly and Safe Operation

Ease of use is a key feature of our fries machine. The motor movement is transferred through a sophisticated mechanism, pushing potatoes through the cutting blade mesh. This ensures parallel potato cutting on both sides, using the scotch yoke mechanism, all while maintaining user safety.

Specifications and Components

The machine, measuring approximately 600x450x350mm, is designed for durability and reliability. It consists of several key components:

• AC motor
• Gearbox
• Handle
• Shaft
• Circular Disc
• Piston Heads and Rods
• Pusher Head
• Cutting Blades and Frame
• Electrical components including switch and wiring
• Sturdy base and supporting frames, along with mounts, joints, screws, and bolts

                time.sleep(1)  # Runs for 1 second or as needed
                deactivate_motor()
            
            time.sleep(0.1)  # Short delay to avoid overloading with requests

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("Program terminated.")
    finally:
        GPIO.cleanup()  # Clean up GPIO to ensure a clean exit
