“…150,000 per unit, the industry fabricating FMBS would break even at around 59.6 % of its rated capacity and the payback period will be 2.25 years. The cost of producing FMBS as reported in this study is lower than the one reported by Booman et al (2010); but, slightly higher than the cost reported by Bhushan et al (2013).…”

“…Resent reports are present on small scale fish meat bone separator machines by Booman et al (2010); Bhushan et al (2013), which works on the basic principle of compression and shear force, the authors reported the quality profile of minced meat recovered was not influenced by the mechanical action of the machine. But, the drawback of this method lies on improper designing and selection of material for the machine, use of rubber belt has some draw backs as it creates non-hygienic conditions, looses tensile strength on regular usage and the chances of belt to get damage is more frequent.…”

The present study relates to the food processing machinery and, more specifically machine for producing boneless comminuted meat from raw fish fillet. This machine is of belt and drum type meat bone separator designed for small scale fish processing in a continuous mode. The basic principal involved in this machine is compression force. The electric geared motor consists of 1HP and the conveyor belt has a linear velocity of 19 to 22 m min −1 , which was sufficient to debone the fish effectively. During the meat bone separation trials an efficiency up to 75 % on dressed fish weight basis was observed and with a capacity to separate 70 kg h −1 of meat from fish at the machine speed of 25 rpm. During the trials, it was demonstrated that there was no significant change in the proximate composition of comminuted fish meat when compared to unprocessed fish meat. This design has a greater emphasis on hygiene, provision for cleaning-in-place (CIP) and gives cost effective need and reliability for small scale industries to produce fish meat in turn used for their value added products.

“…The results obtained were on par with the earlier reports, Sen (2005) concluded that yield of mince as 52 to 72% on dressed weight basis from BARC machine, and similarly Robertson and Merritt (1985) reported 70% minced meat recovery from IDRC machine. The results obtained were significantly more than drum and beam type meat separator (46.4 ± 1.70% on whole carp weight basis) as reported by Booman et al (2010).…”

“…The product thickness increases the initial preload between the drum and pressing medium (Booman et al 2010) which may lead to overloading during operation. To avoid that factor of safety is considered as 1.2 (Khurmi and Gupta 2005) Actual power required, P a = 1.2 × 586.…”

“…Stamp type deboners (Suwanrangsi 1987) are mainly useful for batch operation. Butchers grinding machines would fit in the low investment requirement, but the resulting product proved to be unacceptable due to the quantity of small bones remaining in it and its poor organoleptic properties (Booman et al 2010). The different mechanical meat-bone separators with different techniques are available, but most of them are of larger capacity and expensive (Graham 1984), and are not affordable to small entrepreneurs and small scale fish processors.…”

Development of meat-bone separator for small scale fish processing

et al. 2011

The belt and drum type meat-bone separator was developed for small-scale fish processing and evaluated using Tilapia fish (Oreochromis mossambicus) in terms of capacity, yield, percentage yield, bone content, colour and power consumption. It consists of a perforated drum (3 mm), single phase electric motor, speed reduction gear box and drive system. The machine was evaluated using two food grade belt viz., natural rubber (Belt A-35 shore) and canvas belt (Belt B-65 shore) for three drum speeds. The machine capacity was in the range of 45.59 to 68.54 kg h −1 for belt A with a yield of 1.148, 1.069 and 1.066 kg, and 49.13 to 78.13 kg h −1 for belt B with a yield of 1.253, 1.312 and 1.269 kg at drum speeds of 14, 20 and 24 rpm, respectively. For belt A, the highest yield (1.148 kg) was obtained at 14 rpm drum speed which was 63.78% on dressed weight basis and for belt B, the highest yield (1.312 kg) was obtained at 20 rpm drum speed which was 72.89% on dressed weight basis. The increased number of passes for meat recovery increased the chances of insertion of bone fragments into minced meat and decreased the colour values (L-a-b). The total energy consumption did not vary significantly.
