Kuih Siput is known for its small size, spicy flavours, and crispy snack that is usually served during ‘Hari Raya’. Based on a survey conducted to 54 respondents, it is proven that 90% of people like to eat Kuih Siput. However, the making process does require a lot of energy and time that causes severe muscle pain towards people. The Kuih Siput needed to be rolled and patterned with stripes to obtain the perfect shape. The aim of this study is to produce a semi-auto yet less expensive product to ease people in making the Kuih Siput. This product contains a conveyor system for the transportation method and a motor for its movement source. The main material for this product is stainless steel. The fabrication process will involve cutting, drilling, and welding. With the development of this product, it is believed it will ease people in making greater quantities of Kuih Siput without using a lot of manpower and reduce muscle pain.
