Client: JAVAR Carnicos Colombia
JAVAR is a Colombian-based company focused on
industrial kitchen equipment. JAVAR approached us
to develop an all-new range of meat grinders to be
built in Colombia and designed to meet international
sanitary standards. Our process started with an in-
depth research phase in which we learned how these
machines are built and about the butcher industry of
Colombia as well as in the U.S.. With these findings,
we gained valuable knowledge that helped us guide
the design of the project. We sketched a wide variety
of different forms that give the product a robust and
easy to clean look. After down-selecting our design
ideas, we began to define how the machine will be
manufactured, keeping the number of parts low and
capable of adapting to different model sizes. After
several rounds of cad development and working
closely with engineers, we had enough data to begin
prototyping and testing.
