Design of Fish Descaling Machine

Abstract

In the past, various products have been found to descale the fish but till not much importance has been given to the idea of developing an efficient product with reasonable cost for a targeted section of customers in the society. After the need analysis and identification of the tobe-developed product, the search of the idea leads to an innovative concept of scaling fishes succeeding the need of it. Now there are various machines available in the market to scale but a system that ascertaining both cost and quality has not been produced on a mass scale yet. In this report, we first study the existing market and level of usage on the machine by various category of customers. Then the various mechanisms and cost analysis depending on the nature of the job performed by the accessories are discussed which is followed by the project design and analysis. Some designs that could provide a solution for the problem are found. Out of this, the best design is found out considering factors like the effort required, cost, efficiency, time and quality over performance. The various possible subsystems of the device are listed. The morphological analysis is then done. The most efficient and cost effective combination of subsystems is selected. This is the solution for the problem. The specification and size of the parts of the device are also given.
