INNOVATION OF BREAD CUTTING AND PACKAGING MACHINE FOR SMALL MEDIUM INDUSTRIES

Abstract

This study developed a compact front-loading machine for slicing loaves of bread. It absolutely was designed to accommodate a traditional loaf of bread per pass. It automatically stops saving running costs once the loaf is totally sliced. This research study was undertaken to develop a low-cost bread packaging machine suitable to be used by small-scale bakeries that handle about 1000 to 3000 loaves of bread daily to enhance the prevalent manual bagging practice. The goal of this research is to create a bread slicer and packager with adjustable guides that will enhance loaf alignment and speed up the slicing and packaging process. To fabricate a bread slicing mechanism can be worked manually and electrically for uses a power screw to feed the bread loaf into the slicing blade. This study aims to a bread-slicing and packaging system makes slicing and packing bread at the same time much simpler and less stressful. An evaluation of the literature per bread packaging machines and their components was done to develop a strong design. The machine's three design concepts were generated, and an improved heat press packaging mechanism was further developed into a close design. An assembly and part drawings were also done to enable manufacture within the future. The planning could further be improved on the plastic clip closure mechanism for effectiveness. The fabrication continues by soldering and joining all selected elements. Functionality test performed to ensure the best performance in any riding condition. The results analyzed to defeat problem and solution offered attain design purposes. Product and market review, financial management and mass production study engaged ready for market viable. The implementation of this project can have a positive impact on the assembly scale of the small-scale bakery. It is concluded that the desired goals are accomplished and executed effectively. Finally, there's a slot for the bread which issliced will package neatly. Product resistance to cutting, moisture content, slice length, cutting speed, total power demand, and power supply are factors to consider while designing the machine. To summarize, this project focuses on designing and manufacturing a bread cutter and packaging to merge design, science, and technology to create functional and appealing products for customer.
