<![CDATA[Banana stem waste can be used as raw material for animal feed by reducing the size so that it is easy to consume. The Banana Stem Chopper Machine type TEP-2 can be used to chop banana stems into pieces measuring 2-5 cm. In this research, machine testing was carried out with treatment of 1, 2 and 3 workers, then chopping analysis, break even point analysis and feasibility analysis were carried out. This research aims to determine the economic feasibility of the Banana Stem Chopper Machine type TEP-2 with how many workers will gain maximum profit. The analysis results show that chopping with 1, 2 and 3 workers is suitable for economic purposes. The best performance occurred in chopping with 3 workers which resulted in a work capacity of 1382.74 kg/hour, basic chopping costs of IDR 260.84/kg and a break-even point of 10,002.60 kg/year. Productive working hours are 6 hours per day and the price for chopped banana stems is IDR 500/kg, the potential profit is IDR 309,531,548.00/year.Keywords : Banana stem waste, chopping machine, economic analysis, feasibility analysis]]>
