“…Currently, its manufacturing is mostly practiced in small scale industry [1]. In Malaysia, the keropok keping industry is widely operated in coastal areas in the state of Terengganu, Kelantan, Johor, Kedah and some parts of Pahang due to high seafood supply, high temperature and windy area that contribute to the sustainability of the industries [3].…”

“…In existing method, the keropok is arranged and dried on a drying board called pemidai under the sunlight. The keropok keping is exposed to the heat and surrounding wind to be dried [3]. In order to improve the drying process, new rotary type of keropok keping drying machine was invented as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Air generated by the fan is flowing to vaporize the water from the keropok keping inside the rotary drum. The process is continuously performed until the moisture level in the keropok keping is considered low and suitable for packaging [3] Figure 1: Rotary type of keropok keping drying machine [3] However, the machine does not have any special system to control the dryer operation. All tools and machines need an appropriate control system to work.…”

Abstract. This research is focused on the development of a control system for the keropok keping drying machine by using programmable logic controller (PLC) as the controller. The control panel and human machine interface (HMI) were developed for the machine. Experimental study was conducted to validate the HMI speed data by the control panel speed display. The evaluation of the duty cycle (%) and current flow (amp) effect to the motor and fan speed were also conducted. The results showed that around 1 -30 % and 1 -3 % differences of the speed readings were recorded by the HMI for the motor and fan respectively. The percentage difference needs to be controlled as small as possible to ensure the HMI speed readings are more accurate. The linearity of the current flow curve to all duty cycle can be observed. The flow (amp) increases when the speed of dryer motor and fan increases. The development of the control system is expected to improve the operation of the keropok keping drying machine.
