Abstract: This project (Phase 2) presents the fabrication of an innovative, portable noodle making machine aimed at providing a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for small-scale and home-based noodle production. Traditional noodle machines tend to be expensive, and require considerable expertise, limiting their accessibility especially for households and micro-entrepreneurs. To address this gap, the proposed machine utilizes a lightweight frame built from available materials, with food-grade stainless steel components for all parts in contact with the dough. The core mechanism involves a threaded extrusion system powered by a small electric motor, which efficiently transforms freshly prepared dough into uniformly shaped noodles. The process comprised conceptual sketches, noodle quality, and portability. Test results demonstrate consistent noodle extrusion with ease of operation and quick cleaning, making it suitable for diverse environments including homes, street vendors, and small eateries. The modular construction further enhances maintainability and transport convenience. This project not only offers a practical fabrication approach but also supports entrepreneurial activities by enabling affordable fresh noodle production. Overall, the project contributes an innovative, accessible, and sustainable noodle-making solution that promotes food variety and small business empowerment.
