• butterfly design allows vertical or horizontal operation
• removable drip tray
  
• unique meat cage design cooks everything from bacon to steaks
• viewing window for monitoring cooking

Scope of Design:

• mechanical layout and design
• Industrial Design liaison
• prototyping and testing
• Pro/ENGINEER services

The Challenge:

The initial design specification called for the unit to be vertically rotating and to employ a far-infrared heat source in cooking the meat. One of the major challenges associated with the vertical orientation was the method of driving the 'meat-cage', as it was undesirable to place any components between the meat and the heat source.

The Result:

Mechanistic assisted in the development of an innovative solution whereby the "meat-cage" was driven from the edge and supported on the sides of the unit. Some additional benefits were improved ergonomics for the end user, reduced manufacturing cost, and improved assembly time.
