Abstract

Continuous milk pasteurization systems require efficient heat transfer and energy utilization to ensure product safety and processing efficiency. However, the performance of systems utilizing alternative heating media, such as vegetable oil, is limitedly explored. This study aimed to evaluate a prototype continuous milk pasteurization system consisting of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing submerged in vegetable oil heated by LPG. Experimental measurements (temperature at inlet/outlet, oil temperatures, mass flow) were combined with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using water as a surrogate fluid to analyze residence time, temperature rise, and heat-transfer performance under real operating conditions. At an oil average temperature of 131 °C, CFD and experiments showed milk reached a temperature of 72 °C after 6 m of tubing length, and then over the next 10 m. However, at an average flow speed of 0.955 m/s, the resulting residence time at ~72 °C was 10.47 s (below the HTST requirement of 15 s). Energy analysis indicated a fuel input of 1783.7 W, oil uptake of 634.4 W (35.6%), and useful heat of 139.5 W (7.8%), giving a system total efficiency of ~8.2%. Microbiological tests (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) of treated samples complied with SNI ISO 7388:2009. Design modifications (longer tubing, alternative pipe materials, improved insulation, and heat recovery) are required to achieve HTST residence time and improve energy efficiency.

Abstract

Granulated palm sugar requires efficient drying to meet industrial quality standards and accelerate production. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a prototype rotary dryer in reducing moisture content to a maximum target of 2.5%. Tests were conducted at rotation speeds of 23.83±0.1 RPM and 41.83±0.1 RPM with drying durations of 1, 2, and 3 h using a 500-g batch capacity. All treatments were performed in triplicates, and successfully reduced moisture below the 2.5% target, meeting SNI 01-3743-2021 and the company’s internal standards. The optimal condition, determined using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, was 23.8±0.1 RPM for 1 h, resulting in a final moisture of 2.4%, a product loss of 14.4%, and the lowest energy cost of IDR 821. Higher rotation speed increased the product loss to 55.07% due to centrifugal forces and uneven heat distribution. Sugar adhering to the cylinder walls highlighted the need for improved fin design and airflow. Future development should incorporate stable heating, expanded rotation speed (15–50 RPM) and temperature (60–80°C) variations, and automatic controls for small- to medium-scale food industry applications.

Abstract

The increasing demand for tempeh made from koro pedang (Canavalia ensiformis) beans requires large quantities of kernels processed rapidly and efficiently. This study evaluated the performance of a newly developed outer-shell peeling machine to enhance peeling capacity and seed–shell separation efficiency. Experiments were conducted at three rotational speeds (730, 820, and 960 rpm) with three replications per treatment. Observed parameters included peeling capacity, peeling efficiency, separation efficiency, percentage of broken seeds, and fuel consumption. Results showed that increasing rotational speed improved peeling capacity from 32.41 to 51.77 kg/h, with the highest value obtained at 960 rpm. Maximum peeling efficiency reached 93.09%, while the highest separation efficiency was approximately 83.09% at 960 rpm. The percentage of broken seeds remained low (≤0.99%). Fuel consumption was 0.43 L/h, indicating good energy efficiency for small- to medium-scale operations. Overall, the machine use increases production throughput, shortens processing time, and reduces reliance on manual labour, supporting the sustainable development of tempeh industries based on koro pedang beans.
