Chili-based products are increasingly in demand. Realizing this demand, many companies are taking the opportunity to run a chili processing business including turning it into a grind chili and instant chili paste in bottle packaging. The processing of this product goes through several stages, including the process of separating the chilies from the stalks, the cleaning process, grinding the chilies, and ending with the packing work. The main problem is during the process of separating the chilies from the stalks as it is still traditionally practiced by manually separating the stalks from the chilies by workers. It takes a lot of workforce and takes a long time to complete in large quantities. The researchers have carried out a prototype study by designing and building a machine that has been tested and has the ability to separate the chilies from the stalks. The sample of this research was the Sri Azwani Company which had successfully passed the screening by a panel of selected evaluators to obtain the PPRN grant award. The company had encountered problems during the process of separating the bird’s eye chilies from the stalks because it took a while to process 30kg-50kg of chilies for a mass production to produce 530-550 bottles at a time. The machine has a cylindrical main chamber that rotates according to the pre-determined resolution. The machine can process a maximum of 75kg-100kg per day of operation and it will impact the industry in terms of increased production volume, time savings, and cost.
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.
