Abstract

Slurry generated from biogas production is commonly treated using natural drying methods, which require 30–40 days and intensive manual handling, making the process inefficient for practical applications. This study aims to design and evaluate the performance of a slurry drying machine utilizing LPG as a heat source with a capacity of 30 kg. The research methodology includes mechanical design, fabrication, and experimental performance testing. The developed system integrates a mechanical pressing unit, a rotating mixing drum, and a controlled LPG heating system driven by a 0.5 HP electric motor. Experimental results show that the machine is capable of reducing slurry mass by approximately 50% within 150 minutes at an operating temperature of 65–70 °C. The highest drying rate occurred during the first 30 minutes, indicating rapid moisture removal in the initial stage. Compared to conventional solar drying, the proposed system significantly reduces processing time while improving drying consistency. The developed machine demonstrates potential as an efficient and practical solution for converting biogas slurry into value-added organic fertilizer, particularly for small to medium-scale farming applications.

Abstract

PT UVW uses jigs in the vacuum metalizing process that require washing, which is currently done manually, resulting in inefficiency and risks to operators, thus, jig washer machine was created in order to reduce the risk for operators and increasing efficiency, which based on horizontal mixer. This study analyses the effect of agitator design on fluid flow patterns in a jig washing machine to obtain an optimal design. Two agitator design alternatives were developed and tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations at rotational speeds of 70, 75, and 100 rpm, followed by prototype fabrication and performance testing. Simulation results show that the second design produces a higher fluid velocity (20.4 m/s) and a more turbulent and uniform flow pattern compared to the first design (1.7 m/s). Field tests confirmed that the second design achieves higher washing effectiveness (97.14%) with reduced water consumption and shorter washing time. The optimally designed agitator washing machine increases productivity by six times compared to manual washing and reduces operator exposure to hazardous chemicals. This study recommends the second agitator design for improving washing efficiency and effectiveness.
