64 UNP Research Journal Vol. XVII January-December 2008Table 1 shows the comparative performance between two types of motor whichthe researchers used to decide the type to be adopted for the prototype, namely; thereversible and the one-directional.Table 1. The Squeezing Results of the Machine vis-à-vis the Type of Motor Used with the1 st DesignType of Motor Duration of Squeezing Effecta. Reversible T 1 T 2 T 315 min 15.3 min 14.8 min The faucets are cloggedwith fish bonesb. One-Directional 2.5 min 3.1 min 4.95 min Bottling is continuousBecause of the clogging that occurred with the use of a reversible motor, the onedirectionalmotor was chosen, so that squeezing and bottling could be done faster.On the Machine LayoutThere were three models constructed. They are presented subsequently.The first design was presented to the cooperator and was already satisfactory.However, the cooperator suggested an improvement (2 nd design)- to provide a screen at thelower base to prevent the passage of salt and other fine fish bones.1 st TrialSize of Housing Frame - 0.65m x 0.65 x 1.2 meter high, stainlesssteel.Size of perforated cylinder - 0.4m diameterSize of perforation (only lower half has holes) 7/16” to 1/8”Capacity of motor - ¼ hpCapacity of squeezer - 24 liters of bagoongSqueezing time - 3 to 5 minSize of Paddle - 3/8” diameter, 10” highAttached accessories - two faucets and drain, electric timer2 nd Trial has the same technical description with the 1 st design; but it has adetachable stainless screen at the lower half portion to separate the salt from the fish sauce.This was suggested by the cooperator. However, the effect was clogging of the faucets.

The financial counterparts per collaborating entityare shown in Table 2 as follows:Fig. 7. A third design toimprove the bottling processwas the provision of biggerperforations to ¾ of thecylinder, as well as theinstallation of 6 faucets, triplingthe speed of the former designto bottle the fish sauce.Table 2.

The bones would then be left inside using a plastic sieve,with holes 1 mm in diameter. The laborers would pour several buckets on the plastic sievewith a container where the screened fish sauce would accumulate, then manually the plasticsieve. This process is repeated until all the 24 liters are done, which on the average would
