Abstract

Chili is a type of vegetable that is easily damaged and difficult to maintain in fresh form. The durability of fresh chilies if stored at low temperatures can last up to 14 days, but if stored at room temperature chilies only last about 2-4 days. Because of this, chili prices are always erratic, when chili prices are low, farmers will overcome losses by drying chilies using natural methods of sunlight. This method is considered less effective because it requires a large drying area and relatively long drying time. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture and test chili drying ovens to speed up the drying process time and increase the durability of chilies. This research method focuses on the process of testing the performance of the drying oven. The test parameter used is using temperature of 70℃ with 3 variations of drying process time, namely 6 hours, 7 hours, and 8 hours to produce dry chili water content according to the standard, which is a maximum of 11%. The results of the chili drying oven research are the best drying time for 8 hours with a temperature of 70℃ which produces a water content of 9.33% cayenne pepper. In addition, the drying oven testing process resulted in a drying efficiency of 35.4%.

Abstract

This study investigates the viability of employing a cabinet-type dryer with a heat energy source derived from biomass combustion to dry Eucheuma sp. using Newton's model. In this investigation, seaweed was dried with air at a temperature of 55 °C. A reduction in water content of 8.1% was attained after six hours of drying. To make the data fit the suggested drying mathematical model, the data were examined and recorded. The model feasibility test shows that, with a coefficient of determination (R2) that is close to one and corrected at 0.9502, the Newton model can be used to predict the moisture content of dried seaweed after the drying process using a cabinet-type dryer with a source of heat energy from biomass combustion.

Abstract

This study was conducted at a manufacturing company located in Indonesia that produces Alternating Current Generator Starters (ACGS). In the ACGS production process, there is a solder inspection stage that was previously performed manually by operators. The main issue encountered is incomplete production cycles, a condition where a production cycle is not fully completed, but the product continues to the next stage, increasing the risk of undetected defective or rejected products. Research aims to design a camera check system that integrates the Poka-Yoke method to enhance accuracy and prevent errors caused by human factors based on continuous improvement through the Plan, Do, Check, Action (PDCA) cycle. This study compares two camera inspection programs: program model 1, with individual position calibration per solder point, and program model 2, with a shared calibration setup, to evaluate inspection effectiveness. The quantitative comparative testing results show a detection accuracy of up to 99.92% and an inspection result classification accuracy reached 99.73%, indicating a significant improvement in the reliability of the visual inspection system and quality assurance for soldering results in industry.

Abstract

The tempe processing industry plays a strategic role in food security and the local economy, especially within small and medium enterprises. However, productivity challenges remain, particularly in the slicing process, which impacts the quality and efficiency of production. This study investigates the effect of tempe slice thickness variation (2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm) on slice quality (categorized as intact and damaged) and slicing time using a specific performance cutting machine. It addresses the research gap where previous studies have not optimized the relationship between slice thickness and the drive motor performance of tempe cutting machines. The objective is to analyze the influence of slice thickness on quality, time efficiency, and motor performance. An experimental method was employed, varying slice thickness and measuring slice quality and cutting time using quantitative data analyzed descriptively and comparatively. Results showed a significant impact of slice thickness on both quality and time efficiency; 4 mm slices yielded the best quality with the highest intact slice percentage, whereas 2 mm slices resulted in the shortest cutting time. In conclusion, optimizing slice thickness and motor performance is essential to produce high-quality tempe slices with maximum time efficiency. These findings are significant for developing tempe slicing machine technology that enhances productivity and competitiveness for MSMEs.

Abstract

Conventional heating methods remain prevalent among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for aluminum mold thermal regulation during resin-coated sand (RCS) core production. Inconsistent thermal regulation significantly alters the characteristics of resin-coated sand cores. This study aims to investigate the effect of curing parameters on the compressive strength and toughness of the resin-coated sand. The RCS specimens were prepared using an aluminum mold that underwent controlled thermal treatment in an electrical furnace. The thermal treatment is performed by processing specimens across a curing temperature range of 200-300°C and varying curing time from 3 to 15 minutes. HDPE polymer was proposed as the RCS binder. Compressive and impact tests were carried out to determine the characteristics of resin-coated sand. The results showed a non-linear relationship between curing parameters and mechanical properties. Although moderate curing time and higher temperatures initially improve compressive strength and toughness, exceeding optimal thresholds leads to the degradation of these mechanical characteristics. The highest mechanical properties (compressive strength = 38.4 MPa, toughness = 0.43 MPa) are achieved through a curing temperature of 250°C and a curing time of 9 minutes. This study provides valuable insights into determining the optimal parameters for processing resin-coated sand cores or molds with superior compressive and toughness properties.
