Abstract

Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) is a high-value crop not widely known in Indonesia and still processed using conventional shelling methods that are time-consuming and inefficient. This study aimed to design and evaluate the PTR-TETA20 macadamia nut sheller to improve post-harvest efficiency. The research was conducted from May to July 2024 at the Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Ratulangi University. The methodology involved the design, construction, and performance testing of the machine using experimental methods and descriptive data analysis. The PTR-TETA20, measuring 30 × 23 × 113 cm and powered by a 1/4 HP motor with a pulley and V-belt system at 1467 RPM, was tested using 1 kg of macadamia nuts in three repetitions. The average working capacity reached 38.43 kg/hour, with a yield of 92.52%. Nut integrity was recorded as 40.22% whole, 36.10% halved, and 23.66% broken. Moisture content was 2.6% (whole), 2.56% (halved), 2.83% (broken), and 9.52% (shells). The results indicate that PTR-TETA20 offers a practical shelling solution for small-scale producers. However, machine performance can be improved by optimizing roller spacing and ensuring uniform nut drying.

Abstract

Postharvest damage to potatoes can occur due to plant physiological disorders, such as evaporation (transpiration), respiration (respiration), tubers sprouting, and tubers becoming too ripe. This research aims to design, manufacture, and test an evaporative cooling device using a direct spray method from a fan into a room or box by conducting technical tests about temperature, humidity (RH), signs of potato damage, weight loss, and water content. The test was carried out using an evaporative cooling device (evaporative cooler) for 30 days.    This research tested the effectiveness of the evaporative cooling system compared to room outside storage on potato quality for 30 days observationally. The results show that evaporative cooling equipment can prolong the shelf life of fresh potatoes in tropical areas according to physical parameters such as signs of damage to potatoes during storage, water content, and percentage of weight loss. For future development, increasing the fan and cooling pad to medium size is necessary for more effective equipment. An evaporative cooler is a cost-efficient and sustainable method for preserving agricultural produce in rural areas far from urban centers.
