Abstract

The MyFord 254S lathe in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Politeknik Negeri Manado (Polimdo) will be retrofitted with new technology or features into the old system, becoming semi-automatic, combining PLC and SCADA technology. This research uses the experimental method, where the author designs by creating a ladder diagram in CX-Programmer software and uploading it to the Omron PLC, whose output will be connected to the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to control and drive a 3-phase induction motor as a spindle driver with a single-phase AC input voltage on the VFD. It creates a control design in NB-Designer software to be uploaded to the Omron HMI as a SCADA control display. The ladder diagram programming on the Omron PLC designed with CX-Programmer software includes motor frequency options of 15 Hz (602 rpm), 20 Hz (802 rpm), 25 Hz (1003 rpm), 30 Hz (1204 rpm), 35 Hz (1404 rpm), 40 Hz (1605 rpm), 45 Hz (1806 rpm), and 50 Hz (2006 rpm). As a result of the addition of PLC and SCADA to this lathe machine, the spindle speed can be easily adjusted compared to manual settings, as it only requires pressing on the HMI.

Abstract

The use of machines that shred coconut fiber and are powered by diesel engines in the market has not yet enhanced consumer comfort and efficiency. This is because its combustion results in CO? and NOx, causing air and noise pollution. It is relatively large and requires regular maintenance, which demands space and incurs significant costs. Therefore, an efficient and optimal machine for shredding coconut fiber is needed, one that reduces noise to avoid being loud and is pollution-free. The coconut fiber shredder, powered by an electric motor, is an innovation that offers a solution for producing household products and agricultural fertilizers aimed at enhancing comfort and efficiency for consumers, thereby increasing economic value in the community. This study aims to develop an environmentally friendly machine for shredding coconut fiber, powered by a 3-phase 7.5 hp electric motor for low noise, minimal vibration, and improved time efficiency. The resulting machine facilitates the production of coconut coir and powder, which can be utilized for household and agricultural products.

Abstract

Instant powder drinks are practical, water-soluble beverage products with a long shelf life. This study developed a functional instant powder drink from sambung nyawa (Gynura procumbens) leaf extract, enriched with cinnamon bark extract to enhance flavor and antioxidant properties. The goal was to see how different amounts of cinnamon bark powder (0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) affected the physical, microbial, and taste qualities of the final drink and to find the best recipe. A completely randomized design with three replications was used. We analyzed the data using ANOVA and DNMRT at a 5% significance level. Results showed that cinnamon addition significantly affected total polyphenols, antioxidant activity (IC50), titratable acidity, dissolving time, taste, and aroma, but had no significant effect on moisture content, ash content, water-insoluble fraction, total plate count, or color. The best mix included 30% cinnamon, which resulted in 2.11% moisture, 0.33% ash, 0.99% total acidity, 201.45 mg GAE/g total polyphenols, 78.75 mg/L IC50, 33.44 seconds to dissolve, 0.93% insoluble part, 2.37×10³ CFU/g total plate count, and good ratings for color (3.7, liked), taste (3.33, neutral), and aroma (3.67, liked).

Abstract

Wax is mostly produced using paraffin as its formulation, but nowadays, for food safety and environmental reasons, edible wax has become highly possible as a substitute. The hydrogenation process has been carried out on several derivatives of palm oil, namely refined palm stearine (RPS), refined palm oil (RPO), palm soft stearin (SST), Palm mid-olein (MOL), and Palm Mid Fraction (PMF) through 3 types of hydrogenation processes, namely: (1) complete hydrogenation with a target iodine value <1, (2) partial hydrogenation with limiting hydrogen gas consumption, and (3) partial hydrogenation with limiting reaction time. The hydrogenated products were characterized and compared to commercial paraffin and wax according to several parameters such as Solid Fat Content, crystallization rate, melting rate, melting point, smoke point, and flash point. Furthermore, we applied the hydrogenated products to both the wax products and a mixture of hydrogenated and paraffin products. The wax produced was then evaluated based on several parameters, such as hardness, combustion flame, melting diameter, and combustion time. The findings concluded that all hydrogenated products can be used as raw materials for wax, either their self or hydrogenated and paraffin formulation products. Waxes made from Refined Hydrogenated Palm Stearin (RHPS)-1 and Refined Hydrogenated Palm Oil (RHPO)-1 are the hardest wax in terms of texture. In contrast, in the case of flame, the waxes made from hydrogenated products formulated with paraffin and paraffin itself have brighter flame than the others and Refined Hydrogenated Soft Stearin (RHSST)-1 and Refined Hydrogenated Palm Mid Fraction (RHPMF)-1 waxes are the waxes that burn the longest. Each wax has certain characteristics that can be related to the hydrogenated product used.

Abstract

Sodium hydrogen sulfite or sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) is a common anti-browning agent to preserve fresh produce. We can maintain the color of fruits and vegetables by inhibiting certain enzymes involved in the browning process. The study evaluates different concentrations (50, 100, 150, and 200 ppm) and immersion time (three and five minutes) of NaHSO3 applied to fresh-cut apples. Sliced apples (n=189 slices) were grouped into nine groups: N50I3 (50 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for three minutes),  N100I3 (100 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for three minutes),  N150I3 (150 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for three minutes),  N200I3 (200 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for three minutes), N50I5 (50 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for five minutes), N100I5 (100 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for five minutes),  N150I5 (150 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for five minutes), N200I5 (200 ppm NaHSO3 immersion for five minutes) and control group. The samples were compared between groups for peroxidase activity (unit/min), polyphenol oxidase activity (unit/min), phenolic content (ppm), total antioxidant activity (%), and discoloration (hue) every three days for 15 days. The results showed that immersing freshly cut fruit of Manalagi apples in NaHSO3 50 ppm for three minutes was the best treatment for inhibiting the enzymatic browning process compared to other treatments.
