Universal Kitchen Machine (UKM) - a device designed for the mechanization of the basic processes of refined products in the production or catering. In contrast to the large plants, small organizations can not fully mechanize food processing and cooking process due to the small number of similar products. However, if only to use manual labor, it will significantly increase the time taken to obtain the finished product, and its total cost will rise. Therefore, to optimize the production process in small enterprises use multi-purpose universal kitchen machines of various modifications, consisting of a single drive and a large number of diverse attachments.

Advantages and disadvantages of UKM
The main advantages of kitchen machines - versatility and compactness. Baking powder, sifter, shredder and other removable mechanisms are not independent equipment, do not require the cost of acquisition of each device individually.
In addition, each nozzle without housing, without motor and drive occupies less space in comparison with full stationary units.
Disadvantages:
- Because all the actuators operate on one drive, then the universal kitchen machine is not able to simultaneously perform more operations (e.g., simultaneously kneading minced and slaw), due to which the process could be delayed cooking.
- If the electric motor will fail, the production stops - no nozzle use is impossible.
- The actuator is stationary equipment, it is quite massive and are often attached directly to the floor. Therefore, it can not be moved from room to room and move from place to place.
