Singkong merupakan salah satu hasil perkebunan Indonesia yang banyak dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat. Salah satu hasil pengolahan singkong adalah keripik singkong. Produsen pengolahan keripik singkong mulai dari produsen skala besar (pabrik), industri rumah tangga, atau kelompok masyarakat kecil (desa). Pada saat ini kebanyakan produsen keripik singkong skala menengah dan kecil masih menggunakan proses pemotongan atau perajangan singkong secara manual. Proses perajangan manual tersebut menyebabkan waktu produksi yang lama. Pembuatan mesin perajang singkong merupakan salah satu alternatif untuk menambah efisiensi dan produktivitas pengolahan keripik singkong. Oleh karena itu, desain mesin perajang singkong dibuat guna mengatasi masalah produksi yang lama pada produsen keripik singkong skala menengah dan kecil. Desain perajang singkong ini menggunakan cakram 4 mata pisau pemotong dan tenaga penggerak motor listrik. Selanjutnya, merencanakan dan menghitung gaya pada komponen elemen mesin, besar daya motor yang digunakan, serta kapasitas yang dihasilkan oleh mesin perajang singkong. Hasil dari perencanaan dan perhitungan, didapatkan mesin perajang dengan menggunakan daya 1 Hp, putaran 180 rpm dengan satu cakram putar menghasilkan kapasitas 64,8 kg/jam.

Recycling plastic waste can help reduce plastic waste, which is the world’s largest problem. The first solution is a plastic crusher machine, which converts plastic packaging into pellets, especially for plastics made from polyester, which is often used in bottle packaging. An integral part of the crushing machine is the crushing blade, which determines the design and analysis of the blade. The finite element analysis method is widely used in engineering analysis. Its results can provide useful information for the analysis of manufacturing processes. A rectangular blade and a star-shaped blade are the two types to consider. The analytical results obtained on the blade of the crusher machine in the rectangular shape that was given loads by 200 N, 400 N, and 600 N are 1.285 × 103 N/m2, 2.570 × 103 N/m2, and 3.855 × 103 N/m2, respectively. We obtained the displacements are 1.080 × 10-6 mm, 2.160 × 10-6 mm, and 3.241 × 10-6 mm, respectively. The maximum von mises stress result on consecutive star-shaped blades are 8.890 × 102 N/m2, 1.778 × 103 N/m2, and 2.667 × 103 N/m2. The displacement obtained are 1.211 × 10-6 mm, 2.422 × 10-6 mm, and 3.633 × 10-6 mm. The results of this analysis indicate that for the star blade, the shape is better than for the rectangular blade at the same time, and for the star blade, the stress is smaller than for the rectangular blade. Based on this simulation, the safety factor is 15, which means that it is more than 1, which means that it is safe.

In chicken farm, the biggest cost is from chicken feed. The feed cost is too expensive because it uses factory feed, which makes operational costs high, then  the profits obtained are very small. The idea is to make the design of a chicken feed processing machine to increase the efficiency of chicken feed costs. The owner of chicken farm can produce chicken feed itself. This chicken feed processing machine is equipped with a corn grinder, dough mixer, and chicken feed mold. This chicken feed processing machine in chicken feed printing has a screw conveyor working principle that utilizes the threads of the screw as a material carrier and presses towards the end of the mold and is cut using 2 rotating blades following the screw conveyor rotation. The chicken feed processing machine uses an electric motor that has a power of 1.5 Hp with a rotation of 140 rpm and can produce 20.16 kg/hour of chicken feed. This machine has dimensions of 125 cm x 40 cm x 80 cm, the chicken feed processing machine designed using Autodesk Inventor software.
