The "Design and Fabrication of an Automatic Flour Filter" project is focused on developing a machine that will reduce the amount of power needed to filter flour, which is used in many kitchen operations. Due to the strainer's small surface area, the filtering process must be repeated until all of the flour is filtered, inspiring this project's conception among those working in food-related SMEs. Filtering the flour takes a significant amount of time. The goals of this project, on the other hand, are to develop an automatic flour filter using the “SolidWorks” software, fabricate a flour filter, and study how the strainer is rotated using the power window. The strainer in this product can be moved horizontally due to a power window coupled to a circular plate. Additionally, a converter is included for switching between DC and AC power. This project uses the mechanical engineering principle of power window rotation. At the end of the course, this project is able to design an automatic flour filter, fabricate this flour filter, and then analyze the motor's rotation as it moves the strainer
