The key highlights and insights from the content are:
The machine integrates the boiling, smoking, and drying processes of fish into a single automated system, reducing the time and labor required compared to traditional methods.
The machine uses an Arduino microcontroller to precisely control the temperature during the boiling (75-90°C), smoking (60-70°C), and drying processes, optimizing the performance using PID control.
The mechanical design includes a stepper motor-driven pulley system to automate the movement of the fish tray between the boiling, smoking, and drying chambers, minimizing manual handling.
The machine is fabricated using galvanized steel and food-grade materials to withstand high temperatures and minimize contamination or burning of the fish.
Testing with different types of fish (scads, milkfish, tilapia) showed the machine can process up to 5 kg of fish in a single 60-minute cycle, significantly faster than the 4-hour traditional method.
The PID control system effectively maintained the desired temperatures in the boiling and smoking chambers, as validated through temperature monitoring and heat exchange simulations.
The automated machine design and integration of key processing steps aim to assist small and medium-sized smoked fish businesses in meeting consumer demand more efficiently.
