Garam merupakan salah satu komoditas yang strategis karena sangat dibutuhkan oleh orang banyak. Peningkatan kebutuhan terhadap garam di Indonesia semakin meningkat berbanding lurus dengan meningkatnya jumlah penduduk dan jumlah industri besar pengolahan garam di Indonesia. Terjadinya impor garam karena peningkatan kebutuhan dan kegunaan garam pada industri dan rumah tangga. Salah satu kota/kabupaten yang menjadi sentra penghasil garam kedua setelah Cirebon adalah Kabupaten Indramayu. Kabupaten ini mampu mensuplai kebutuhan garam nasional. Perancangan alat bantu pengerik garam yang diperuntukkan untuk petani garam di Kabupaten Indramayu diharapkan mampu menggantikan alat konvensional yang saat ini sering digunakan digunakan petani garam. Sistem kerja alat ini adalah dengan menggunakan mekanisme roda gigi payung dan lurus sehingga mampu secara axial memutar alat pengerik yang dirancang seperti sikat. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, roda gigi yang dibuat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan alat bantu ini adalah roda gigi dengan modul 2, jumlah roda gigi 20 dengan ketebalan roda gigi adalah 40 mm. Tenaga dan beban yang dikeluarkan oleh petani bisa berkurang hingga 50% dari alat konvensional yang biasa digunakan saat ini. Analisis kekuatan dan safety factor terhadap alat ini telah dilakukan menggunakan FEA (Finite Element Analysis) dengan bantuan software solidworks. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa roda gigi payung yang digunakan cukup kuat untuk mengerik garam untuk kedalaman 50 mm.
A press tool is used to cut or form a thin plate into the desired shape with a pressing process or a press machine. One of the main things in the design of the press tool is the calculation for determining the type, size and, material of the spring. The spring in the press tool design is placed on the stripper as a pressure plate material before it is formed. The problem that often occurs in the design of the press tool is the initial force of the spring and the number of springs often have high values. This has an impact on the difficulty of the operator in installing the spring during assembly. The installation on the press machine requires more energy that exceeds the operator's power. This problem is often a challenge in itself both in terms of designing and manufacturing press tools. Assumptions and limitations of the problem of the design is 12,64 kN. This force is used for the educational practicum materials. Based on the design calculations the number of springs needed are 4 springs. While the hydraulic required is 10 tons. The results obtained based on simulation analysis using Solidworks software, show that with the number of springs and hydraulics calculated and based on the design form of the stripper installation tool, it is in the safe category.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
