Abstract
Because of the booming fast food and restaurant industry in Palestine, butchers are seeing an
increase in demand for burgers in particular. The manual force makes around 100 burgers per
hour with low quality, varying weight, and low precision, but the machine produces about 500-
2000 burgers per hour with high accuracy and weight, and there is also a significant cost for
importing such burger making machine from other countries such as China, Germany, and
Turkey. Manufacturing such a machine domestically will be far less expensive and easier to
maintain in the Future. In order to satisfy the needs of the local market for such machines, a
model of an affordable burger-making machine is designed and fabricated in this project, the
model was produced for the benefit of a local Butchery shop in Qalqilya city called (The
butchery of Qalqilya), who provided the financial support under ABET agreement template.
In this project, the design and manufacturing of the Automatic Burger Machine was completed,
several problems were overcome, and the market was researched in West Bank cities, including
butcheries and restaurants because they are the main targets customers. Solidworks program
was used in the conceptual design then it was also used for the final Design for Manufacturing
model. The Design of the final model was completed and delivered to a local manufacturing
company (National manufacturing Company) to fabricate the machine under an agreement
signed by the beneficiary (Butchery of Qalqilya) and the manufacturer; the agreement gave the
project team the permeation to participate in the manufacturing process, and assembly of the
control system for the machine.
The obtained machine is able to produce high quality packed burger pieces with an adjustable
production rate varying from 300-1000 piece per hour. The machine is standardized to give
100g burger with 13cm diameter and 8mm thickness, this standard size can be easily
customized by changing the moulds size
