Jaggery Production In India

Abstract—India is an agricultural country. More than

70% of Indian population lives in villages. Their main source of

income comes from agriculture .Today the use of technology in

India in the field of agricultural is not up to the mark. . Kolhapur

is at leading position in Jaggery production in Maharashtra.

Traditional method for production of Jaggery is manual.It result

in low profit, wastage of time, wastage of man power. This paper

focuses on atomization of Jaggery production. Which will result

in to increased production in less time.

Keywords-Atomation, jaggery

Jaggery is a traditional unrefined sugar, which is

consumed in Asia, Africa, Latin American and also the

Caribbean. It is made from concentrated

The color of jaggery can vary from golden brown to

dark brown. Although traditional jaggery is manufactured

using either sugarcane or date palms, but in recent times

jaggery is also made from sap of coconut and sago palms.

To make jaggery, raw sugarcane or palm juice is boiled in

iron pans. Then the jaggery is made into blocks. Since, it

does not go through additional processing; some of the

natural vitamins and minerals are retained, although some

of them do get depleted, due to the boiling process. In

Ayurveda, it has been used to treat various ailments. It is

also said to be rich in iron, apart from the various vitamins

and minerals. Hence, it is often seen that, jaggery is eaten

in small slices

along with a dessert or it can also be combined with

various other ingredients to make a variety of desserts.

If you wonder about the taste of jaggery, the taste of

jaggery can be compared to brown sugar and other raw

sugar. Normally, jaggery is brown in color, but the color of

jaggery is dependent on the base ingredient used to make

it. This project is based on mechatronics.Which is

combination of electronics & mechanical assembly.

The main aim of our paper is to advance processing

The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to

be reprogrammed in-system or by conventional nonvolatile

memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU

with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C52 is a

powerful microcontroller which provides a highly-flexible

and cost-effective solution to many embedded control.

Microcontroller plays the role of the central processing

unit. For microcontroller & other circuits power supply

circuit is designed using rectifier filter & regulator ICs

7805, 7812 .Which generates 5V&12V voltage.

Micro-controller is here is connected to two gear dc

motors with the relay drivers. Micro-controller controls the

motor to start and to stop. To sense level, juice Level

sensor is used. It is 2 points level sensor. There are 2 pins,

in that 1 pin is connected to ground and other pin is

connected to the pin2.7 of microcontroller. When the juice

get poured to the required level ,then these two points get

short and level is sense.Pin2.7 get low signal . After
