Chakki (Hand mill grinder)
Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University
Ahmedabad, India
Chakki is used to grind various grains, with varying consistencies of flour, as required. The fineness of the flour depends upon the gap between the two grinding stones of a chakki. A simple mechanism consisting of a wedge is built for this purpose. As the wedge is tightened, the mechanism lifts the upper grinding stone, adjusting the gap between the two stones.
