RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
To study the physical
properties and size of the
cockles.
To design the vibratory
grading mechanism of
cockles processing machine.
To analyze the design
efficiency of machine
improvement.
LITERATURE
REVIEW
FOOD GRADING/SORTING:
1. Size sorting (screening) is the
separation of solids into two or more
fractions on basis of differences in size.
2. Grading should be employed as early
as possible to ensure a uniform product
for subsequent process.
3. Foods which have a uniform size are
said to be preferred by customers.

Concept B:
Feeding inlet and product
outlet is cone in shape that
give optimum feeding rate
and output rate also better
distribution of cockles into
screening deck.
No transmitted vibration to
the body frame of machine.
Less noise
Less power consumption

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this project able to help me understand the flow
of designing product and all the objectives successfully
achieved.
Design of Concept B was the best concept among the others
because it manages to fulfill the selection criteria.
This design has its own potential to gives out many positive
and benefits compare to the current grading machine that
exist nowadays.
Even the previous analysis of blood cockles was test on stone
screening machine that have same concept and mechanism,
it still give positive result, but with the test on real fabrication
of vibratory cockles grading machine, it can produced better
results of machine efficiency.
RECOMMENDATION
Optimization of result can be
achieved
if
appropriate
mechanism and fabrication of
machine is made.
Moreover,
this
vibratory
cockles grading machine can
be further improves by insert
the anti-blinding devices for
screening
perforation
to
prevent
screen
blinding
occurs.
COMMERCIALIZATION POTENTIAL
There are so many option to do commercialization for this
design as it is already known for grading other products but
not for blood cockles.
It has high potential to compete with other current grading
machine because it can upgrade the quality of production
rate, reduce space and time consuming for grading.
It also have greater chances to replace large scale current
cockles grading machine by alter the size and power
requirement that fit to the quantity of cockles and according
to customer need.
Any company or customer the concerned with the quality of
their products should place the vibratory grading
machine high on their list priorities.
