Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this community service activity is to disseminate appropriate technology for areca nut peeling machines in Aceh Besar Regency. Method: In this product-based community service activity, the community service team offered several methods to meet the quality standard for areca nut (betel nut). The methods used in this community service activity include (i) a design method for manufacturing a betel nut peeling machine and (ii) a dissemination method to introduce the betel nut peeling machine to partners. Practical Applications: With this disseminated technology, dried areca nuts can be peeled in a shorter time and at a relatively higher capacity (50 kg per hour). Furthermore, the areca nuts peeled by this machine are relatively uniform in shape, improving the quality of the areca nuts ready for sale. Some other benefits that partners will experience with this disseminated technology include: (1) efficient time and labor required for the areca nut peeling process, (2) reduced risk of workplace accidents. Conclusion: This product-based community service has generated some benefits to the community and partners, in which the areca nut peeling machine can help boost the economy. By introducing this machine, the risk of workplace accidents can be avoided, and the production of betel nut can be improved.
