Abstract: This paper presents design and development of mosquito repellent coil making machine. Mosquitoes are one of the very harmful insect to mankind. Mosquitoes grows everywhere in tropical and subtropical region. With the growth of population, mosquito repellents have emerged as most useful tools in household for preventing mosquito spread diseases. Indian villages and tribal community uses their own techniques as mosquito repellents which are unhazardous to human health while chemical based repellents available in market have side effects on human health. Mosquito coils are the cheapest mosquito repellent available. Manufacturing of mosquito repellent coils require a numbers of processes and its machinery whose cost goes very high depending upon production. This bulk investment is not feasible for development of small scale industries. The purpose of this machine is to manufacture mosquito coils using simple machine with other considerations such as cost, size and easy handling. So there is need of development of such machine which is feasible for small scale industries. This machine design is based on spring lever mechanism with mosquito coil mold for manufacturing of mosquito coils. This machine can play active role for development of rural India

Keywords: Mosquito Coil, Mosquito Repellents, Rural India, Small Industries, Spring –Lever Mechanism.
