Peningkatan produksi keripik pisang oleh suatu industri tidak lepas dari permintaan proses. Proses pengirisan pisang merupakan proses penentu untuk meningkatkan kapasitas produksi keripik pisang. Permasalahan terjadi pada stasiun pengirisan yang masih sederhana dan dilakukan secara manual. Penggunaan mesin perajang pisang bermaksud untuk agar proses pengirisan pisang lebih mudah dan dapat mempersingkat waktu kerja dengan hasil yang optimum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang bangun dan menguji mesin perajang pisang dengan empat pisau horizontal. Perancangan mesin terdiri atas pembuatan model, pemilihan material, perakitan, dan pengujian. Mesin perajang yang berdimensi 480 x 360 x 600 mm dan berat kosong mesin 12 kg memiliki lima komponen utama yaitu unit pemasukan, unit pemotongan, unit pengeluaran, kerangka mesin, sumber dan transmisi daya. Pengujian pada mesin dengan pisang kepok ditetapkan variasi tegangan input motor penggerak antara 75 – 250 volts. Rata-rata slip putaran yang terjadi adalah 3.7%. Putaran pisau dengan kecepatan rendah meningkatkan terjadinya slip. Kapasitas kerja yang dihasilkan untuk merajang pisang adalah 14.2 kg/jam pada tegangan 220 V. Potongan pisang dengan kualitas baik sebesar 77.6% memiliki bentuk bulat dengan tebal rata-rata 2.2 mm, sisanya merupakan potongan pisang yang rusak, berbentuk tidak beraturan, dan hilang karena lengket di dalam mesin. Mesin yang dikembangkan dapat dimanfaatkan oleh industri rumahan yang memproduksi keripik pisang.
Indonesia's food needs continue to increase along with population growth. Land development for supporting the cassava food estate is one of the priority programs of the central and regional governments. The purpose of this study was aimed at determining the need for power tiller for land management based on land area. This research was carried out at the planned location of the cassava plantation in Gunung Mas Regency, Central Kalimantan in 2020. The data on the land area planned was determined from a topographic map, while the tractor needs were obtained from the calculation of field capacity. The area of land suitable for cassava cultivation is 1227.57 ha which is divided into 25 blocks. The basis for the number of tractors as power tiller needed is determined from the time of tillage work so that it requires working capacity variables, including data on land area, work speed, and width of the plow implement. The plow studied in this study used 2, 3, 4, and 5 blades of disc plows. The need for a tractor with a 5-blade disc plow is 2 tractors that work fully and take turns cultivating an area of 1227.57 ha in the span of one cassava cultivation period (7-8 months). If the disc plow used is less than five blades, it will affect the working width of tillage, so the work time will be longer and the need for power tiller will increase.
