Abstract:
"Kokis" plays a significant part in Sri Lankan household at all special occasions. Nowadays, as
a result of their hectic lifestyles, people frequently purchase "Kokis" from the market for special
occasions. Traditionally, Kokis are made by hand, which requires a higher level of ability and
expertise. Commercial production of Kokis is extremely challenging due to the handcrafted
nature of the procedure. This study suggests a more cost-effective, user-friendly, and hygienic
automated system for small and medium-sized businesses. The machine is composed of the
following essential subsystems, including a kokis mold moving system, a liquid mixture inlet
mechanism, an oil inflow system, an oil heating system, a temperature control system, and a
conveyer system for removing kokis. A resistive heating element is utilized to deliver heat to
the frying oil. Further, this procedure is monitored by temperature sensors to ensure that the
appropriate warmth is maintained to correctly cook the kokis. The device undergoes a threeminute
preparatory process to ensure a flawless kokis-making operation. It is capable of
producing kokis at a pace of two kokis every 90 seconds. However, it can be expanded to four
kokis per sequence by increasing the number of integrated kokis modules to four. When
manufactured using this technology, a single kokis weighs approximately 20g. This proposed
machine could be used to change the perception of commercial kokis manufacturing among
small-scale enterprises.
