This work studies development of a filling sauce equipment system for a fish canning industry. A filling sauce process is necessary for fish canning industry. The aim of this work is to design and devise filling sauce equipment; consisting of a filling sauce device and a refill sauce storage tank. This type of the tank when using in a sauce filling step causes fluctuations of sauce flow rate into cans. This leads to the possibility of sauce overflow or deficit. In addition, when the hole sizes of a filling sauce device are inappropriately designed, this results in fluctuating of sauce filling into cans. Therefore, this work introduces an approach to overcome the difficulties by adding another tank to maintain the level of the sauce in the feeding tank first. Then, the filling sauce device is properly designed. With this approach, the sauce loss can be reduced by about 84.2 % per day or the saving of sauce is 24 litres per day. The payback period is less than 9 months. Consequently, this work is applicable to decrease any sauce loss filling into cans in other canning industries.
