Normally, a wife would do that.

However, the rate of 100 pancakes per hour would preclude more than one wife, which legally is going to be a problem in the US.

If the pancakes are 9 inches diameter, an 18 x 36-inch grill at 380°F can accommodate 8 at a time. At 2 minutes per side; 5 minutes total to allow pouring and flipping; 12 batches/hour = 96 ≈ 100. It will help to have one of those plunger "pitchers" to dispense consistent amounts of batter.

The next time someone asks for an ME or robotics project, let's all gang up and suggest this special purpose robot arm. How many IHOPs, HoJos, Denny's, McPancakes are out there? What a market! Anybody does this, you heard it here first (23 Feb 2010), and I wanna cut!

Two days looking? Google found "pancake machine" information fairly fast.

"Results 1 - 10 of about 1,330,000 for pancake machine. (0.29 seconds) "

The very first link was for a machine that makes 200 pancakes per hour.

Methinks this to be a prank.

"Machine for pancake" returned only 9 hits, and one of them was this forum! Some others were irrelevant, involving pancake motors instead. There's kind of an art form to picking good search terms, of which Lynlynch, for one, is a master. "Pancake machine" clearly did better.

As for prankishness, that could be me--surely I qualify! I'll Google a topic before I ask, but I'll wing it even before Googling it. It shows once in a while wiping egg off face, but it's more fun, at least.

In SA only presidents are allowed more than 1 wife.

My suggestion for a production line with almost no paid labour required.

Take 2 heated rollers. Drop a constant stream of batter and produce a pancake ribbon, then use a punch or CNC to cut it in circles.

The packers can have the leftovers.

But there is a special quality to the edge of a pancake that would be lost in the punch-out version. Breakfast eaters would suffer the loss...

True, but I gave a GA for originality and laughs! Which would be better, laser or water jet or simple die punching?
