Nowadays, people like to store their foods in refrigerator or maybe put it under the food cover. All food has their own expiry date and we need to be careful before taking our food. From there, they invented a vacuum seal machine for them to vacuum all oxygen out of their packaging and seal up the packaging so that no oxygen will get in. The purpose of this method is to protect food from dehydration and freezer burn. As mold and bacteria cannot grow without oxygen, so the expiry date provided can be extend. This project will make our production rate become faster by adding a conveyor to the machine so the process will always ongoing. This project will be more focusing on small industries such as people that run their business at their own home because they can’t or doesn’t have any space to make their own workspace. My objective for this project is to design an ergonomic machine for small industries and people that makes small business at their own home and to fabricate a low-cost and medium size machine for Small Medium Enterprise (SME).
