Abstract

AbstractPhysical and mechanical properties of palm frond are very important factor for the development of palm oil waste utilization technology. The objective of this research was to determine mechanical properties of palm frond Frond for Chopper Machine Designing. The research of composting conduct with two composting factor combination, namely: composting starter composition (i.e. Bokashi, vermi-compost and natural composting) and piece of frond dimension (2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm). Sample was obtained from 5 years and 20 years palm oil trees. The average length of palm frond was 675.89 cm, average leaflet length at the palm frond base was 103.89 cm and average leaflet length at palm frond tip was 23.83 cm. Maximum compression strength at the 20 years-palm frond base was 8134.62 N and at the 5 years-palm midrib base was 4893.52 N. Maximum force requirement for cutting palm leaf was 67.67 N. The composting processindicates that Bokashi starter composition gives higher percentage of mass reduction on all variant of piece of frond dimension. Smaller piece of frond (2 cm) enable the composting process quicker and had a better result. Statistical analysis reveals that combination of composting factors have significant effect on C/N ratio but insignificant on NPK content.AbstrakKarakteristik fisik dan mekanik pelepah sawit merupakan faktor penting dalam pengembangan teknologi penanganan limbah pelepah sawit.

AbstractOil Palm frond wastes that are stacked in the rows between oil palm plants take a long time to decompose. To accelerate the decomposition, oil palm leaves need to be chopped into small size and the palm frond need to be compressed into flat. This research aims to design and analyze the performance of an integratedmachine for chopping oil palm leaves and compressing fronds. The design of the machine is performed using engineering characteristics of palm leaves and fronds. The machine consists of palm leaf cutting unit, palm compressing unit and palm leaf chopping unit. All units are integrated and powered by a diesel engine. The leaf cutter used circular blades, the frond compressor used two pairs of grid-rolls and the leaf chopper used a reel-bed knife. All units were tested in order to obtain the machine capacity, percentage of leaves cut, percentage of reduction and increase in frond dimension and chopping leaves size. Leaf cutting unit was tested at blade speeds of 480, 640, and 800 rpm. The compressing unit was tested at rollers speeds of 70, 90, and 110 rpm. The chopping unit was tested at blade speeds of 800, 1200, and 1600 rpm. The test results showed that the optimum machine capacity was 207 frond/h (equal to 1.97 ton/h), leaf cutting was 83.01%, frond height decrease was 18.18 %, fronds width increase was 41.20%, and chopping leaves length and width were 23.3 mm, 3.20 mm, respectively. The optimum operation condition was achieved at cutting blade speed of 640 rpm, 110 rpm compressing rolls speed, and 1600 rpm chopping blade speed.AbstrakLimbah pelepah sawit yang ditumpuk pada alur di antara tanaman kelapa sawit membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk terdekomposisi.

Abstract

AbstractThe paddy plots in upland area have fairly steep embankments between plots. This condition causes a hand tractor difficult to move from one plot to another. The objective of this research was to design and test a lug wheel equipped with a multi-angle lug mechanism for slope climbing using a hand tractor. The lug plates of the wheel can be rotated using a mechanism, so that the lug angle can be set at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, and -15°. Traction performance tests of the prototype wheel were conducted on slope tracks of 15o, 30o and 45o angle. Tractor velocity, torque of wheel shaft, wheel rotational speed and wheel sinkage were measured using corresponding sensors and recorded during the performance test. The test result on 45o slope show that lug wheel with lug angle of -15o produced the highest traction efficiency (93.83%). For climbing the slopes, lug wheel with a smaller lug angle (0o and -15o) produced a higher traction efficiency and a smaller wheel slip than that of using a higher lug angle. The multi-angle lug wheel with a small lug angle had a better slope climbing performance than that of the conventional fixed lug wheel.AbstrakPematang sawah di daerah dataran tinggi memiliki tanggul antara petakan yang cukup curam. Kondisi ini membuat traktor tangan sulit untuk berpindah dari satu petakan ke petakan lainnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendesain dan menguji sirip roda yang dilengkapi mekanisme sirip multi-angle untuk pendakian lereng dengan menggunakan traktor tangan. Pelat sirip dari roda dapat diputar dengan menggunakan mekanisme, sehingga sudut sudut dapat diatur pada 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, dan -15°. Uji kinerja traksi prototipe roda dilakukan pada lintasan miring dengan sudut kemiringan 15o, 30o dan 45o. Kecepatan traktor, torsi poros roda, kecepatan putaran roda dan roda sinkage diukur dengan menggunakan sensor yang sesuai dan dicatat selama pengujian kinerja. Hasil pengujian pada kemiringan 45o menunjukkan bahwa roda pengangkut dengan sudut sirip -15o menghasilkan efisiensi traksi tertinggi (93.83%). Pada pendakian lereng, sirip roda dengan sudut sirip yang lebih kecil (0o dan -15o) menghasilkan efisiensi traksi yang lebih tinggi dan slip roda yang lebih rendah daripada sudut sirip yang lebih besar. Roda besi bersirip multi-angle dengan sudut sirip kecil memiliki kinerja pendakian lereng yang lebih baik daripada roda besi bersirip konvensional.

Abstract

A helical barrier as air-biogas mixing device was designed and tested for direct use of biogas from digester in otto cycle generator set. Homogeneity of the air-fuel mixture can give better combustion reaction and increase engine power. The design was based on simulation, which shows that a 0.039 m length of helical barrier gave a 5% increase in power compared to non-helical barrier. Likewise, the simulations also showed that the helical barrier reduced specific fuel consumption (SFC) by 8%. Accordingly, the mixer with helical barrier was designed, and fabricated. Its performance test confirms the improvement resulted by using helical barriers as air-biogas mixer in the engine. The experiment showed that the power increased by 5% when using helical barrier, while SFC decreased by 4.5%. It is concluded that the helical barrier can increase the homogeneity of the mixture resulting in better engine performance. Besides, emissions produced from the engine using a helical barrier also decreased.

Abstract

The design of the wilted tea stalk and leaf separation system aims to improve the quality of the tea produced especially by separating the tea leaves and stalks at the beginning of the process. Stages that are needed to be done include designing a chopper machine that is capable of chopping tea stems and leaves to a certain size and designing stem and leaf separation system with the pneumatic principle with suction. In this study, physical, mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics of tea leaves were measured. The result showed that force to release a leaf is in the range of values between 12.24-16.17 N smaller than the need for the cutting force of the stem and leaves and the greatest difference in force is achieved at a water content between 55 and 58% bb (leaves) and 66-68% bb (stalk). The leaf terminal velocity is <3 m s-1 while the tea terminal velocity is > 9 m s-1. Tea leaf yield value is very important as a reference in testing the performance of tea and tea leaf separator machines where the average leaf yield is 77.33% and the average stem yield is 22.67%. Keywords: characteristic of tea leaves, engineering, separation of tea leaves, withering of tea leaves

Abstract

The quality of dried tea depends on the condition of raw materials and processing methods. The problem in the tea processing is the mixture of pieces of stalks and leaves. This research aims to examine the performance of stalks and leaves machine separator based on the difference of suction velocity and the terminal velocity of the material. The separator was designed according to the physical and aerodynamic properties of tea leaves. The performance of the separator was done by calculating the separating efficiency of five combined treatments (P, P1a, P1b, P0a, and P0b) and calculating the separating capacity with three feeding treatments (0.4 kg/sec, 0.5 kg/sec, and 0.6 kg/sec). Physical property observation of the tea leaves obtained an average mass 0.143 kg/m² which means the theoretical suction pressure needed is about 1.4 Pa. The actual terminal velocity measured as 7.5 m/sec for the stalk pieces and 3.0 m/sec for the leaf pieces. The optimum separating efficiency was obtained at P treatment, it was about 97.6 %, with average suction ir velocity 3.15 m/s. Optimum separating capacity was obtained about 354.29 kg/hour.

Abstract

Transmitter and receiver were applied in this research to detect the mole plough. Transmitter was placed outside the farm while receiver was attached on the mole plough construction and then pulled by tractor. Mole plough was used to create drainage channel. However, creating drainage channel at slope of 0,02% is a difficult task as mole ploughing depth is strongly affected by the contour of soil surface. The objective of this research was to design a device which had ability to control mole ploughing depth. Transmitter used a modified green laser beam which used to measure the profile of soil surface. Receiver was used to receive signal. Light receiver sensor used photodiode which formed into matrix sized of (1x8), every row consisted of 40 sensor of photodiode with 8 levels of depth. When transmitter was activated, green laser beam transmitted 1.206 Hz frequency and can be transmitted for maximum 50 m. When photodiode sensor received green laser beam at allowable detection range, the light beam was transmitted to Arduino microcontroller. There were two microcontrollers used to control two units of relay. The first microcontroller was used to detect the contour level of soil surfaceand second microcontroller was used to measure the mole ploughing depth. The research found that there was deviation of mole ploughing depth between setpoint and field testing result.
