Uji Kinerja Mata Pisau pada Mesin Pengiris Lobak Putih (Raphanus sativus L.)

Abstract

Radish are one of the agricultural commodities that are popular with Indonesian people. White radish slicing is usually done traditionally, which has high work risks, small capacity and requires a relatively long time, so technological improvements are needed, one of which is the slicing process. The aim of the research is to obtain The right blade distance (mm) to produce the best white radish slices using a radish slicer. This research used a non-factorial completely randomized design. The blade distance used in the tool was 1mm (P1), 2mm (P2), and 3mm (P3). The parameters tested were the effective capacity of the tool, yield, percentage of wasted material. The results showed that the smallest effective tool capacity in the 3mm blade distance treatment (P3) is 55.73 kg/hour, the largest tool effective capacity in the 1mm blade distance treatment (P1) is 87.053.
