Abstract

There are many agricultural communities, one of which is taro, because the season is suitable for the territory of Indonesia. With the development of appropriate technological advances, technological tools that can process agricultural products can be found, so thinking about how to improve and ease work or process crops or process taro products to increase the selling price even better. The purpose of the research in general is to make it easier to slice taro for chip entrepreneurs, especially taro chips, and can also be operated for cutting or slicing such as tempeh, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc. The specific purpose for making this tool is to know the capacity of the taro chopper, to know the components in the taro chopper and to analyze the results of the taro chopper cut. From the manufacture of the tool, it can be concluded that this taro chopper is operated semi-automatically using an electric motor. This machine display method is a single display with 1 type of blade that cuts the taro continuously. The design of this taro chopper machine requires power from an electric motor of 0.54 HP with a rotation of 2800 rpm. The production capacity of the taro machine every 60 minutes is able to stretch as much as 1536 kg.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a greenhouse solar dryer with a vertical rotating rack system (GHSD-VRR), integrated with an air recirculation system and a biomass furnace with air preheater. This GHSD-VRR was able to reduce the weight of fish from 88.6 kg with a wet basis moisture content of 68.5% (2.18% on a dry basis) to 34.4 kg with a wet basis moisture content of 20% (0.21% on a dry basis) at an average air temperature of about 57.0°C and an average sunlight of 629 W/m² in 10.8 hours. The average drying rate (DR) and specific moisture extraction rate (SMER) reached 4.44 kg/s and 0.211 kg/kWh, respectively. The average specific energy consumption (SEC), specific thermal energy consumption (STEC), and specific electrical energy consumption (SEEC) were 7.724 kWh/kg, 6.408 kWh/kg, and 1.315 kWh/kg, respectively. The efficiency of biomass furnace, dryer, and exergy were recorded at 66.9%, 38.7%, and 80.5%, respectively. The contribution of heat energy from sunlight and biomass to the dryer system was 19.18% and 64.7%, respectively.
