ABSTRACT
The increasing global concern regarding environmental sustainability and the adverse effects of single-use plastic products have driven the demand for eco-friendly alternatives. In response, this study presents the design and fabrication of a paper bowls and plates making machine aimed at providing a sustainable solution for food service industries. The conceptual designs for the machine is developed. The machine incorporates various components, these are carefully designed and integrated to ensure a seamless production process, capable of manufacturing paper bowls and plates of different sizes and shapes. Fabrication of the machine involves a combination of mechanical, electrical, and control system engineering techniques. The selection of suitable materials and components is crucial to ensure durability and efficiency. Manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, and assembly are employed to construct the machine according to the design specifications. The design and fabrication of the paper bowls and plates making machine contribute to the development of environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic food containers. By enabling the mass production of paper-based food service products, the machine offers a sustainable solution for businesses seeking to reduce their ecological footprint. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating engineering principles and sustainable design practices to address global environmental challenges.
Keywords: paper bowls, paper plates, machine design, fabrication, sustainable manufacturing, eco-friendly alternatives.
