Abstract

Brayan Grubi, a small and medium enterprise (SME), located in Jetis, Menoreh Village, Salaman, Magelang Regency. It processes approximately 150 kg of sweet potatoes daily to make traditional food grubi. The grubi production process, from washing to packaging, is still done manually, known as "gejrug." This manual washing process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unhygienic. The purpose of this community partnership program is to design and manufacture a sweet potato washing machine so that the washing process of sweet potatoes as a raw material for making grubi becomes more efficient and hygienic. The process becomes more efficient because the washing process takes less time and is more hygienic because the washing process is carried out using the help of a machine. This activity is carried out in four stages. The first stage is data collection as a basis for machine design and is continued in coordination with partners. The second stage is the construction and testing of the sweet potato washing machine. The third stage is the implementation of the sweet potato washing machine. The last stage is evaluation of machine implementation by the team. The efficiency of the sweet potato washing process is measured by calculating the washing time of 150 kg of sweet potatoes. The implementation of the sweet potato washing machine increases the washing process efficiency from 20 minutes to 5 minutes per 15 kg of sweet potatoes. The interview results show that the activity increases partners' understanding from 20% to 100%, about the more hygienic washing process of the sweet potato washing machine.

Abstract

The high cost and limited durability of platinum-based catalysts remain major challenges for the large-scale commercialization of fuel cell. Therefore, alternative and more affordable catalyst support materials are needed. Biomass derived activated carbon offers a promising solution due to its porous structure, good electrical conductivity, and abundant raw material availability. This study aims to investigate the potential of Pinus merkusii pine cones as a precursor for activated carbon through pyrolysis and chemical activation using potassium hydroxide (KOH), as well as to evaluate its suitability as a fuel cell catalyst support material. Pyrolysis was conducted at temperatures of 400ºC, 600ºC, and 800ºC under a nitrogen inert atmosphere, followed by chemical activation. The resulting activated carbon was characterized using proximate analysis and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The results indicate that increasing the pyrolysis temperature led to a reduction in biochar yield, moisture content, ash content, and volatile matter, while consistently enhancing the fixed carbon content and specific surface area. The optimal condition was achieved at a pyrolysis temperature of 800ºC, producing activated carbon with the highest fixed carbon content of 81.87%, a specific surface area of 42.83 m2/g, and a mesoporous structure with an average pore diameter of 3.23 nm. Nevertheless, the obtained specific surface area remains below the ideal value (>100 m²/g) for application as a fuel cell catalyst support, indicating that the synthesized material still requires further optimization in both the process and activation conditions.

Abstract

The "Arrahman" partner is located in Kerten, Krincing Village, Secang District, Magelang manages around 200 to 300 goats. The process of preparing cattle fodder such as elephant grass and corn stalks is done manually using a knife. It causes the feed preparation process take longer considering the large number of goats being managed. The aim of this activity is to contrive and manufacture a chopper to help the process of cutting grass feed more effectively and efficiently. Because it is able to produce more feed capacity in a shorter time with a finer size. Activities are carried out in several stages. The first step is data accumulation and coordination together with partner. Continuing to the next step, the development of solving partner problems through chopper design. The method for measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of cutting cattle fodder is done by quantifying the capacity and quality of cattle fodder produced and quantifying the amount of rising in insight and knowledge of residents which is carried out by looking at before and after the application of the chopper. The primary result is a chopper with a capacity of 100 kg/hour with a 5.5 hp gasoline engine. Chopper parts can be disassembled and assembled, making it easier for partners to maintain and repair. The chopper increases the capacity of cutting animal feed to 100 kg/hour. The activity is able to increase residents' understanding and insight by up to 90%. It is because through design and construction activities, residents are able to understand and gain new insight into the process of making chopper machines.
