WHAT IS GROCUBATOR ?
GROCUBATOR is essentially a creative small-medium size incubator for 250 gm of grains or beans to sprout. It may also soak seeds while reusing the water during the entire procedure. The Grocubator will operate using the same conventional processes, therefore all of its output will be organic. The purpose of this is simply to reduce the amount of repetitive work and effort required to produce a given quantity of profit. The hand behind this setup is Mr.NACHIKET ADAMANE (http://vadic.vigyanashram.blog/author/nachiket-adamane/).
Why we need to add sprouts in our diet ?
- Adding sprouts to your diet can give you the necessary protein intake required by your body minus the fat, cholesterol and calories.
- Sprouts help increase bone formation and prevent them from breakdown or osteoporosis. They are also helpful in controlling hot flashes, menopause, PMS and fibrocystic breast tumors.
- According to experts, sprouts contain 100 times more enzymes than uncooked fruits and vegetables. These enzymes act as catalysts for all your body functions and ensure that your body processes work more efficiently.
- Since sprouts are low in calories, they can contribute positively to any weight-loss diet plan. Eating sprouts will make you feel fuller and stave off hunger longer.
- Once sprouted, the quality and fibre in the beans, nuts, seeds and grains improve. Eating sprouted grains helps you maintain a healthy immune system.
- Research shows that certain sprouts are effective for preventing gastritis, ulcers, stomach cancer and even allergy and asthma.

Process Flow :
According to process flow chart we have understand that the working of the grocubator . The water pump turns on for 150 seconds when the system is turned on, then stays off for another 2 hours .The system drains for five minutes after which the motor rotates down at 180 degrees before rotating back up at 180 degrees. System is left unattended for 15 minutes, after which the motor rotates 180 degrees down and 180 degrees up. The system is then left unattended for 15 minutes again, after which the motor rotates 180 degrees up, before the water pump starts for 150 seconds and the cycle is repeated 1 to 25 times.
