The pedal operated flour mill was designed and fabricated to cater the needs of rural people, where there is shortage of electricity. In many developing countries like India there are millions of people who live day to day life without reliable power to complete daily work. Ever increasing energy crises, and the increasing awareness to ourselves to be physically fit are the driving forces for the development of pedal operated mechanisms for performing many day to day activities. Performance evaluation of the developed mill was done in the range of three pedaling rate viz. 4050, 50-60 and 60-70 rpm. It was found that 50-60 rpm of pedaling rate was optimum from quality point of view. The machine can also be used for grinding of other grains.
