<br/><br/> The study on the Development of Automatic Portable Fish Drying Machine<br/>addresses the problems encountered by small-scale fish processors in drying fish efficiently<br/>and effectively. The developed prototype features an automatic system for controlling<br/>temperature, airflow, and drying time. The key components of the machine include a<br/>temperature control system, high-efficiency fan, rack system, portable frame fitted with<br/>wheels, and an adjustable timer. The machine's portability allows ease of movement to<br/>various locations, making it suitable for small-scale businesses. Automating the drying<br/>process enhances productivity and consistently produces high-quality dried fish products<br/>while reducing dependence on manual labor and ensuring efficient operations. The result<br/>reveals that the development of automatic, portable fish-drying machine excelled in<br/>functionality, aesthetics, durability, workability, economy, and safety. The prototype’s<br/>positive rating across these criteria confirms its acceptability and effectiveness as a reliable<br/>method for dying fish. The project was evaluated by (5) TUP-Quezon Instructors, (5)<br/>specialists in dried fish, and (20) students from TUP-Quezon Extension Campus and was<br/>rated with an overall mean of 4.54, indicating that it is "Highly Acceptable".<br/>Keywords: fish drying, automatic, portable, temperature control, airflow, drying racks
