cranked out
Produced in volume
Cranked out means produced rapidly and in quantity, often with implications of mechanical efficiency or lack of artistry.
A factory cranks out widgets; a hack writer cranks out novels.
The phrase suggests steady, repetitive output rather than careful craftsmanship: She cranked out three reports before lunch.
The crank evokes turning a handle to keep machinery running.
