The Development of a Microcontroller based Smoked Fish Machine

The development of a microcontroller-based smoked fish machine aims to combine and automate the boiling, smoking, and drying.The machine consists of an Arduino microcontroller, heater, spark gap igniter, stepper motor with motor driver, temperature sensor, exhaust fan, DC converter, relay module, power supply, and controller box.The main mechanism of the smoked fish machine is a stepper motor that automates the process.The machine kept the temperature at 75≤90°C to cook the fish and 60≤70°C to smoke the fish.PID is used to optimize the performance of controlling the machine's temperature.The machine used galvanized steel and food-grade material to support the heating of the fish, which helps minimize contamination and burns.The typical time of operation of the entire process using the proposed machine is up to 60 minutes.
