AFRICA, DONNA JEAN T. AND FILLER, GINA LYN M. Innovation of Automated Tinapa Maker (I ATM). Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University-Rosario Campus, Rosario, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Engr. Reynaldo V. Villanueva Jr. Technical critic: John Michael A. Dharma.

The study was conducted from October 2015 to March 2016 in Cavite State University-Rosario Campus to develop an innovated automated tinapa maker (IATM). Specifically the study aimed to: 1) design the interface of the I ATM; 2) test and evaluate the performance of the machine; and 3) implement the machine to tinapa makers and vendors.

Observations and interviews were conducted to determine design requirements and to collect information on the processing of tinapa. Using microcontroller, the researchers programmed the machine to accomplish three operations — brining, dying and smoking.

Machine testing and evaluation was conducted at CvSU-Rosario Campus. The machine automated three integrated processes, namely: brining, drying, and smoking. In brining process, fish will be soaked in the brining solution for 5 minutes. The drying process takes 10 minutes to remove moisture from the fish while smoking takes 30 minutes to complete. Data on temperature and weight loss of products was measured. In terms of weight efficiency, Treatment 3 had the highest weight efficiency at 90 percent. Highest weight loss was observed in Treatment 1 at 0.35 kg loss after smoking. The temperature in the different sections of the machine during the operations shows that brining solution in T3 had the highest temperature recorded while T1; had the lowest. Temperature in the brining, drying and smoking sections were also highest during T3.
