Abstract

Rice is an agricultural product that is the staple food of the Indonesian people, the quality of rice yields is often unsatisfactory, because some of them have empty grains. So that farmers have to separate the filled rice grains from the empty ones manually, this process is considered less efficient. This process takes quite a long time. Therefore, a machine design is needed that can separate the filled grain from the empty grain. This research aims to design a rice fan machine, to make time efficient and to know the comparison between the manual process and the rice separator machine. This tool serves to separate good quality rice grains from grain (empty or imperfect rice grains), so that crop yields can be optimized. The working principle of this tool generally utilizes the difference in density between rice and grain with mechanisms such as air filtration (blower), vibration, or gravity.  In testing, the rice and grain fan showed a high level of accuracy in separation, with a capacity that can be adjusted based on the needs of farmers. This machine is able to separate rice 10kg/minute, which previously only 6kg/hour, there is an increase in the work efficiency of the tool in separating rice.

Abstract

The Social Economics Department of the Faculty of Agriculture initiated an academic partnership with KKI Warsi in implementing MBKM learning, research and community service. The purpose of this collaboration is in an effort to improve the quality of learning at the University and as a bridge for the transfer of knowledge from the university to the whole community as a form of the tri dharma of higher education. This community service activity was carried out at the KUPS Payung Sirukam social forestry group located in Nagari Sirukam, Payung Sekaki District, Solok Regency which was fostered by KKI Warsi. This service was carried out because the Robusta coffee plant in Nagari Sirukam is a plant that is still a legacy from the Dutch colonial period, where the cultivation process was not carried out intensively by farmers. This cultivation problem affects the quality of coffee. Thus, it is necessary to conduct counseling on Robusta coffee cultivation to farmers who are members of KUPS Payung Sirukam. From this counseling, farmers gain knowledge about good quality coffee beans, the maintenance process through good coffee cultivation patterns, and how to vegetatively rejuvenate coffee seedlings. Rejuvenation of coffee plants is one of the efforts that can be made in order to produce coffee plants that are the same as the main plants to maintain the quality of the sirukam coffee and shorten the harvesting life of the plants.
