Abstract

ABSTRACT This project fabricates a food grade stainless rack for food storage. Stainless steel of grade 304 was used to favour easy maintenance, avoid rusting and adhere to food safety regulations. The manufacturing process includes cutting, bending, welding, measuring and polishing to create smooth, seamless surfaces that resist bacteria growth. Factors such as weight capacity, ventilation for optimal airflow and stackable features to save space were considered. The rack layer was made with rod in a perforated manner to further assist in ventilation. The rack was made of 5 tiers and a rigid frame for stable structure. The final product solves the problem of the school bakery of lack of food grade storage rack.
