Abstract

A vacuum-type soybean seeder powered by hand tractor for Indonesia’s local soybean has been developed to overcome soybean low productivity. The developed machine still has a weakness in the context of the suction channel system. This research was conducted to optimize the suction channel system efficiency, suction performance for bigger type of seed variety, and suction effect uniformity on all metering device. The research step consisted of seed characteristic measurement for two Indonesia’s common local soybean seed variety (Anjasmoro and Grobogan), suction channel system modification and analysis, and validation based on computational fluid dynamic (CFD). The result in this research are proposed 3-types of optimized model with final selection of 1-type of model, namely Branch model. The values produced by the optimized model compared to existing model respectively 3.393 kPa (CV 0.10%) and 3.112 kPa (CV 1.54%) for negative pressure, 14.39 m/s (CV 4.11%) and 9.08 m/s (3.44%) for suction velocity, as well as 117.342 Pa and 118.147 Pa for total pressure-loss. The required value for Anjasmoro and Grobogan seed variety respectively 3.094 kPa and 3.358 kPa for negative pressure pressure, as well as 10.22 m/s and 10.03 m/s for suction velocity. Hence, the selected optimized model is more efficient, uniform, and can accommodate required negative pressure pressure and suction velocity for both Anjasmoro and Grobogan, while the existing model can only accommodate Anjasmoro. Keywords: CFD, Metering device, Optimization, Pneumatic, Soybean.

Abstract

Rice harvesting machine in Lampung Province has been commonly used for both personal use and contracting system. This opens up business opportunities for the provision of spare parts and machine repair services, especially during the main harvest season. Determining office locations or business policies in a region requires an analysis of the internal and external factors of the business itself. The analytical method used in this study was Spatial Data Analysis (SDA) to determine the types of strategies and policies that must be carried out by dealers of Kubota brand harvesting machines in Lampung Province. This decision support system is based on the results of spatial data analysis at the sub-district level. The results of spatial data analysis that combines data on paddy field area, slope level, and machine acceptance level show that there are six groups of potential priority areas included the sub-district recommendation for placing part shop and comparing with the existing active dealer part shop. There are six areas group, and dealer has cover 4 of them. Dealer is suggested to add two more-part shop that located in Suoh and Sungkai Utara to cover all areas group that can cover all area within 2 hours by motorbike.
