Abstract

The market demand for the dried anchovies is relatively high for the consumers in the Asian
pacific region, which comes with non-split and split form. The existing anchovies splitting
machine does not completely remove the head and visceral matter of the anchovies. In this
project, four different conceptual designs were proposed. The crank mechanism and
conventional cleaning brush was selected as the best method for the removal of the head
and stomach contents of anchovies. The analysis for the conventional cleaning brush
mechanism indicates that a waste removal of about 80 to 90% of the anchovies’ waste is
possible using the Ansys finite element analysis based on the given data related to various
materials used in the study.
