Engineering of potatoes cleaning and peeling machineChips can be produced from varieties of raw materials including potatoes. To make potato chips on a large scale requires a machine that can facilitate all or one of the manufacturing processes. Therefore, research on the design of potatoes cleaning and peeler machine and its performance tests were required. The research method used was engineering method. The stages of this research were problem identification, data collection, designing, manufacturing and testing machine. This machine consisted of several components, namely frame unit, cleaning unit and peeler, and transmission unit. The mechanism of this machine was to put the water in and then turn on the motor connected to the brush and put the potato in. The potato will rotate and will hit the brush so that the skin peeled off. When the motor turned off, the faucet can be opened to remove the water. The lid on the tube can be opened to take the potato out. The engine design have a total dimension (1000 x 400 x 400) mm, height and diameter of the tube of 330 mm and 380 mm, using two cleaning brushes on one axis. with theoretical capacity of 152 kg/hour, actual capacity of 60 kg/hour.Keywords: cleaning and peeler machine, potato, cleaning brushABSTRAKKeripik dapat diproduksi dari berbagai macam bahan baku diantaranya kentang. Untuk membuat keripik kentang dalam skala yang besar dibutuhkan sebuah mesin yang dapat memudahkan semua atau salah satu proses pembuatannya. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan penelitian mengenai rancang bangun mesin pembersih dan pengupas kentang serta uji kinerja mesin tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode rekayasa. Tahapan penelitian ini yaitu identifikasi masalah, pengumpulan data, perancangan, pembuatan dan pengujian mesin. Mesin ini terdiri dari beberapa komponen yaitu unit rangka, unit pembersih dan pengupas, dan unit transmisi. Mekanisme kerja dari mesin ini yaitu memasukkan air lalu menyalakan motor yang terhubung dengan sikat lalu memasukkan kentang dimana kentang itu akan beruputar dan akan mengenai sikat sehingga kulit terkupas lalu motor dimatikan. Kran dapat dibuka sehingga air akan keluar, lalu jika tutup pada tabung dibuka, kentang dapat keluar. Hasil dari rancang bangun mesin memiliki total dimensi (1000 x 400 x 400) mm, tinggi dan diameter tabung masing-masing adalah 330 mm dan 380 mm, menggunakan dua buah sikat pembersih pada satu poros dengan kapasitas teoritis sebesar 152 kg/jam, kapasitas aktual sebesar 60 kg/jam,Kata kunci: Mesin pembersih, mesin pengupas kentang, sikat pembersih
