Slicing is one of the size reduction process commonly used for fruits and vegetables. It involves pushing or forcing a thin, sharp knife to shear through the material intended to be sliced. Due to uneven thickness of the slices, arising from improper tools a lot of wastage leading to loss of productivity and other damages to produce. Shredding is pushing food across or through a shredding surface to make long, narrow strips. The size reduction process involved a lot of physical labor and material wastes. Therefore, in order to improve the processing method and enhance its hygienic level, there is the need of mechanization of the slicing method. The present work focuses on development of an improved portable multipurpose slicer cum shredder that takes care of the problems mentioned above.
