Peningkatan Produktivitas Pengupasan Kulit Melinjo menggunakan mesin Pengupas (Studi Kasus di Pengrajin Emping Melinjo “Roso Eco “ Dusun Ngambah Mulyodadi Bambanglipuro Bantul)

Abstract

Currently, the demand of Emping melinjo continues to increase and cannot be fulfilled by “Roso Eco” Emping craftsmen in Ngambah Mulyodadi Hamlet, Bambanglipuro Bantul. This is due to insufficient production capacity. There are several factors causing the current low production capacity, one of which is during the peeling process outside the melinjo. The stripping process is still done manually so it has many weaknesses, including taking a long time, being tiring and often causing injuries. Based on these problems, a solution is needed to enable the manual stripping process to be more effective. The solution is to make a tool that can facilitate the process of peeling melinjo skin, so as to increase the production capacity of chips in Ngambah Hamlet, Muloyodadi Bambanglipuro Bantul. In this activity, the melinjo peeler machine product has been designed and manufactured to increase production capacity in Ngambah Hamlet, Muloyodadi Bambanglipuro Bantul and has many advantages compared to conventional processes, including: reducing the time of the stripping process by ± 500%, reducing injuries, and reducing physical fatigue experienced by workers during the peeling process
