METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The developmental research design was used in this study because the Meat

Grinder and Mixer design was based on the specification of variables that are

considered cost-effective and convenient, which can be a piece of potential power

machinery used as kitchen appliances. It is built with mechanical and electrical

components each with a specific function to make it work. Then, the machine will be

thoroughly examined to determine if it fully meets its operational state with quality

standards.

In contrast to basic instructional development, developmental research has

been characterized as "the systematic study of creating, producing, and assessing

instructional programs, procedures, and products that must fulfill internal consistency

and effectiveness requirements." (Seels & Richey, 1994). The researchers will utilize

the evaluative research design to collect data when testing the machine. Technical

research design. The researchers tested and evaluated the machine’s technical

performance in terms of efficiency, capacity and production rate.

Procedures. A meat grinder is not actually a necessary, however, if you want to create

the best meatballs, chorizo, or smash burgers, a meat grinder is a good and

inexpensive investment. The meat-grinding component makes use of the powerful

engine in the stand mixer, and its performance will fulfill most home cooks' meat-

grinding demands without taking up an excessive amount of space. It is a high-quality

grinder with a variety of speeds as well as numerous accessories, including an auto-

reverse option.

Data Gathering

The researchers formulate a questionnaire to gather the necessary data on the

level of technical performance, the level of acceptability, and the design compact of

the prototype Meat Grinder and Mixer. The first part sought to design a compact

MEAT GRINDER WITH MIXER (MGM) and fabricated the machine. The other part

consists of questions relative to determining the level of technical performance in

terms of throughput capacity and

product efficiency.

In throughput capacity, a uniform weight of meat was fed to the machine to

ensure consistency. The weight of output and the period of time that the machine took

to process the boneless meat to granulated form were noted and were used to

calculate The throughput capacity

Ideas and strategies for conducting this study were developed, as it informed,

and improved to achieve its objective. Additional data were obtained for this study

from the produced thesis via the internet and books.

Data Analysis

The researchers used arithmetic means to determine the level of technical

performance of the structural design of the Meat Grinder with Mixer. The arithmetic

mean was used to get the mean or average weight of grind meat, time, throughput

capacity, and efficiency of the ground meat from the trial conducted.

The arithmetic mean is the average mean, wherein it is obtained by having the

quotient of all the sums of all values divided by the number of observations in total.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Design of Meat Grinder with Mixer

The Meat Grinder with Mixer has two major components: the grinder and the

mixer as shown in the figure 1. The machine had also its pulleys and a belt which are

connected to the major parts and a motor to transfer motion from the electric motor and

has some accessory parts to make the machine work which includes the shafting, angle

bars and bearings. 90% of the parts of the said machine is made of stainless-steel to

ensure the safety of the food to be grinded and to be mixed, following the hygienic

measures in food preparation. As to Advanced Food Equipment, LLC (2022), stainless

steel is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it a popular choice for use in

environments where exposure to moisture, humidity, or corrosive materials is common,

such as in the food processing industry. Additionally, stainless steel is also resistant to

heat, making it a suitable material for high-temperature applications. The overall

dimension of the equipment is which is theoretically acceptable for the process of

grinding and mixing meat and other condiments. All dimensions were indicated in the

figure 2.

The very purpose of this machine is to help the members of the society who are

involved in meat processing foods like the meat vendors, frozen goods vendors and even

to eateries like restaurants and simple canteens in preparing the food with meat with less

time as their primary ingredient.
