Design and training of rice thresher machines for the farming group communities in Besar II Terjun Village

Abstract

Most of the Besar II Terjun Village residents live in agriculture. So far, people still use conventional methods to separate rice by hitting the harvested rice. In this community service activity, a rice threshing machine was designed. The rice thresher machine has power = 5.5 HP with engine type = Air Cooled 4 Stroke OHV Single Cylinder; maximum torque = 1.1 Kg.m / 3600 rpm; and maximum output = 4 KW / 4000 rpm. This machine has a capacity of 300 kg/minute. This community service activity aims to help the Sukapura Village community maximize its potential and provide insight for SMEs regarding effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, and safety in carrying out the catfish production process. The methods used include observation methods to determine the needs of SMEs for processed catfish food, design methods, presentation methods, and discussion methods as a form of assistance in starting a catfish product processing business.
