Week 4: Team Selection

Quad Delivery SystemAdvantages Disadvantages
•Several boxes can be filled at once
•Fry boxes must be loaded manually
•Process is clean and fast •More than one rotation may be needed
•Possibility for automation of the rotating arm
Points of Interest
Current scooper is used so manufacturing cost is reduced
System is very safe to use
Sweeping Arm Machine• Two sweeping arms push fries into individual
containers. Another arm pushes the containers down a ramp.
Sweeping Arm MachineAdvantages Disadvantages
•Containers will not be “too full” •Requires new box design
•Several containers can be filled at once
•Fries could get damaged during sweeping motion
•Boxes may not get filled completely
Points of Interest
Potential to introduce Hydraulics
Use of gears and pulleys in the system
TiltomaticAdvantages Disadvantages
•Less labor intensive •Cannot be used with a single carton
•Can be used to fill up multiple cartons of various sizes
•Will not work with few fries
•Can be automated with a few gears and a single motor
•Whole new design for container implies higher initial investment
Points of Interest
Use of Hydraulics
Sliding Ramp DesignFries drop into container and slide down a ramp where it is released into cartons.
Sliding Ramp DesignAdvantages Disadvantages
•Simple and feasible design •Hole can get clogged with fries
•Few moving parts •Excess fries will fall out of carton, and must be manually transferred to container
•Multiple cartons can be filled at the same time
•Fry cartons must be manually removed
•Damaged fries
Points of Interest
Use of gravity allows for electricity saving potentials
Introduction of weight sensors
Use of Pneumatics
Conveyor SystemAdvantages Disadvantages
•Several containers can be filled at once
•Fries can get stuck under conveyor belt
•Ridge design in the ramp will orient fries vertically
•Difficult to fill boxes with correct amount
Points of Interest
Ridges used to align fries
Fry Basket SystemThe Fry Basket System is an actuator driven fry delivery system that dispenses large, medium and small French fry portions.
Fry Basket SystemAdvantages Disadvantages
•Different size containers can be filled at once
•Have to weigh out the amount of fries to dispense
•Fills boxes with correct amount of fries
•Cannot fill multiple orders of the same size
Points of Interest
Use of gravity
Vibrating and rotational shaft is used
