Powdered food grains are a base of almost all foods in India. In ancient times, food grains are ground with the help of hand grain crushers. Today the electric motor driven grinders are used. But today there is a huge scarcity of electricity almost everywhere in India which results in six to twelve hours load shedding. In rural areas the load shedding is done daily from ten to twelve hours which badly affects their daily needs requiring electricity such as food grain crushing, water supply etc. To overcome this, we can replace the electric motor driven process units by manually driven process units such as Grinders driven by Gearless Transmission [ Modak J].i.e. manually driven food grinding machine. Also, we all know that hand muscles are weaker than the leg muscle [ K.H.F. Murell].We can operate the Pedal Operated Grinder without fatigue and smoothly for a longer period if we replace hand operated grinder by pedal operated grinder.
