Designing Pepper Peeler Machine with Crusher System to Support Pepper Processing in Archipelago

Abstract

Designing pepper peeler machine with crusher system is the steps of designing tool to assist the process of peeling pepper to replace the system pepper peeler manually at Bangka Belitung. This system uses 2 dishes mounted horizontally with a certain distance and slope of a particular dishes. The design uses the Pahl and Beitz method with the distance of two dishes can be adjusted. The top of the dishes is fixed where the lower dish slow rotates and the peel process be quickly without decay process of the skin of pepper with low power. The design results obtained 600 x 600 x 800 mm in dimension engine, 400 mm dimeter dish with distance settings, rotation speed of 15 rpm, peeling peeper skin without decay process, the peeling process uses water, engine power 735 Watt with 1:60 reducer. Test results, this machine can reduce the process of peeling skin pepper with the input capacity of 1 kg/hour.
