CONFIGURING A VACUUM TUMBLER MACHINE FOR MARINATING MEAT USING AXIOMATIC DESIGN METHODOLOGY

Cristian COJOCARU, Petru DUȘA

Abstract


Vacuum marination is an advanced technique used to accelerate the absorption of marinades into meat, enhancing flavor, tenderness, and moisture retention. This process utilizes a vacuum environment to force the marinade deep into the muscle fibers by eliminating air pockets and opening up the meat’s structure. A vacuum tumbler is a specialized machine designed to accelerate the marination process of meat, poultry, and seafood by applying vacuum pressure while gently tumbling the product. The goal of the work is to design a vacuum tumbler machine that ensures uniform, efficient, and high-quality marination of meat within a controlled environment. Axiomatic Design (AD) provides a systematic approach to designing a Vacuum Tumbler Machine for Marinating Meat, ensuring efficiency, performance, and usability.
