Abstract

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) report shows that the national fish consumption rate in 2020 is 56.39 kg/capita. This figure increased by 3.47% compared to the previous year, which was 54.5 kg/capita. Domestic market needs include fresh fish and canned fish. The considerable market potential of canned fish products opens up business opportunities for fish canning production for household consumption. Through the blue economy program, the government also encourages the maximum utilization of fishery products. Politeknik Negeri Jember, a vocational institution, also represents government programs in various policies, one of which is the Teaching Factory Canning program, which produces canned fish from marine catches. Teaching factory Fish Canning has machines to produce large-scale canned fish with 425 mL packaging. With a large production capacity (1200 cans per production process), the entire production process must be carried out precisely and efficiently. If a processing delay is too long, it has the potential for bacterial/microbial activation in canned fish. One process that causes a holding time that is too long (about 60 minutes) is the process of filling the sauce. Sauce filling that is done manually also can cause the inefficiency of raw materials. This research developed an automatic filling machine based on a gravity system. The filling system has advantages in terms of speed, good filling accuracy, and ease of maintenance. The filling machine uses microcontroller-based precision timing with electric valve actuators. The machine is integrated with the canning system at the Politeknik Negeri Jember’s TEFA Canning and is expected to shorten the holding time.
