“UV Kitchen Cleanser”

Abstract

Acknowledging the importance of food hygiene and cleanliness of kitchen utensils and tools is a big must and most of people always overlook and didn’t even notice importance of it at all. The cleanliness of the kitchen utensils always been a rare conversational topic in the community around us it is rare to happen but consequences were far too dangerous such as getting salmonella infection that could cause diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps within 8 to 72 hours after exposure to it. In facts this is a reason why we build UV Kitchen Cleanser to develop a cleansed environment for our kitchen utensils to help raises the food safety from the bacteria and harmful microorganisms. The component was in this project consist of Arduino Nano, 4-digit display module, Piezo buzzer, Magnet sensor and UV Light. To use this simply just put any kitchen utensil like spatula in it then push the button to start the sterilizing process on the tool in the process the UV light will exterminate or deactivate 99% of the microorganism and bacteria on the spatula surfaces, the wavelength of UV Light to be germicidal is 266 to 279 Nanometres. As for safety measure for the users implementing the magnet sensors and piezo buzzers together on the door it’s for user not to get exposure of UV light while it is turned on. This not only brings in the cleanliness of the environment to the people in this society but also ensures the actual hygiene of the kitchen in the restaurant in the most efficient way possible. This system uses the functionalities and the flexibility of the Arduino component. It is implemented in the circuit alongside many other components that used in.
