Abstract :
- Fish grading is carried out to maintain fish size
uniformity being farmed. In general, fish grading is still
done traditionally. Traditional fish grading is estimated
to have low effectiveness, including long grading times,
low accuracy rates, andhigh fish stress levels. The purpose
of this research is to design a fish grader machine in a
prototype model and determine the effectiveness of the
fish grader machine that was designed. Design of fish
grader machine includes designing, manufacturing and
testing the effectiveness of fish grader machines. The
effectiveness of the fish grader machine was observed
based on length of time grading and counting, the
accuracy of fish size uniformity levels, and accuracy of
fish counting levels. The design of the fish grader machine
consists of four main components, namely a hopper as a
fish motion feeder that was equipped with a door stopper,
a rotating conical disc driven by a driving motor as a
driving force and directing fish to the grader gap, a
grader plate which was made in a circle as a grading
breaker, and a container count as a fish count line that
was equipped with infrared sensor based on a
microcontroller (Arduino). The results of testing the
effective fish grader machine obtained that the length of
time for grading and counting was 0.54 seconds/fish, the
accuracy of fish size uniformity was 94.40%, and the
accuracy of fish counting was 94.20%
