Design of a Processing Room for Red Pork Offal

Abstract

This project aims to propose a design for a red offal processing room in a pork processing plant that processes 500 pigs per day or 80 pigs per hour. Each pig weighs approximately 105 kilograms, with 3.47% of the weight consisting of red offal. The process involves separating liver, gall bladder, heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys as required. These parts are then chilled in cold water to reduce their temperature to below 7°C before packaging and sealing. Sorting is based on the number of pieces and weight, depending on the type of product. The processing times of sorting chilling and packaging vary depending on the product's type and size. The design was developed using data collected from the current production line and referenced standards. The room layout was planned using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) principles to analyze activity relationships within the room and define functional areas. Equipment sizes and the required number of operators were calculated to ensure optimal use of space. The red offal processing room was designed with an area of 56 square meters. After the layout design was completed, a 3D model was created using SketchUp 2024, and the workflow and operations were simulated and analyzed using Flexsim 2024

Astaxanthin-rich Oil Extracted with Ultrasound Assisted-Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent from the Byproduct of Black Tiger Shrimp (Panaeus monodon).

The study investigated the extraction of astaxanthin-rich oil from shrimp waste biomass, a valuable byproduct rich in functional lipids and proteins. Wet rendering has long been an inexpensive method to extract oil, however the high temperatures and long cooking times negatively affect the amount of astaxanthin. On the other hand, the study looked into employing deep eutectic solvent as a green solvent and combining a wet rendering process with high-shear homogenization and high-frequency ultrasound-assisted extractions. DES-UAE at 60% amplitude and wet rendering at 60 °C were found to be the ideal conditions, as were DES-HAE at 13,000 rpm and wet rendering at 60 °C. With a notable increase in oil yields of 16.80% and 20.12%, respectively, and improved oil quality (lower acid and peroxide values) in comparison to the conventional wet rendering, experimental validation validated the effectiveness of the DES-HAE and DES-UAE procedures. DES-UAE notably raised the amount of astaxanthin. This study demonstrates that DES-HAE and DES-UAE are quicker, lower-temperature substitutes for obtaining premium, astaxanthin-rich shrimp oil, resulting in more effective use of this priceless byproduct.

A Modern Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank Developed for the Jewelry Manufacturing Process and Its Cleaning Efficiency

Ultrasonic cleaning tank is a machine that many factories widely used to clean objects. At one factory, a problem occurred in the cleaning process, resulting in the factory not being able to clean objects, but cracks also appeared on some objects. It was anticipated that these were caused by uneven acoustics pressure distribution which resulted in unsuitable cavitation This directly affected cleaning performance within the tank. In order to improve the tank's efficacy, in this research, we use Harmonic Response Analysis in ANSYS simulate simulate the occurrence of acoustic pressure in the tank to find the appropriate conditions of factors affected the intensity and the distribution pattern of acoustic pressure in ultrasonic tank, including the position of object, power, ultrasonic frequency and a suitable type and placing position of the transducer for the tank. Reliability of the simulate results was validate by the actual result from the foil corrosion test and the ultrasonic power probe. We found that objects receive different pattern of corrosion at each location. When temperature increasing the intensity of cavitation was increased. When we increase the ultrasonic frequency, acoustic pressure that is evenly dispersed throughout the tank.

Development of tea from longan peels and seeds

This research aimed to develop the mixed tea from longan peels and seeds. Population studied were longan farmers who planted longan and preserved the longan product in Ampur Wang Nam Yen, Sa Kaeo Province. From the results, it was found that from By-product in the production of dehydrated longan, longan peels and seeds, which can be processed into ready-to-drink powdered tea. This not only helps reduce waste from the production process but also contributes to generating additional income from these by-products.
