Prarancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Teh dari Daun Kelor (Moringa Oleifera L.) melalui Proses Ekstraksi Maserasi dengan Kapasitas Produksi 220 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

Moringa Leaf Tea is a plant rich in nutrients as it contains a high nutritional value, including phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and amino acids. The production of moringa leaf tea typically involves a natural brewing process; however, this method is less effective as it results in poor quality. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the processing technique by using the maceration extraction process.The maceration extraction process is a method of processing moringa leaves by soaking them to produce tea leaf extract with superior taste, aroma, color, and quality. This factory is designed with a production capacity of 220 tons/year. The planned factory location is in Tegalsari Timur, Pemalang Regency, Central Java, with a land area of 19,467.6 m² and a workforce of 100 employees. The company is structured as a Limited Liability Company (PT), led by a director with a line organizational system.The results of the economic analysis of this moringa leaf tea production plant are as follows: investment capital of IDR 72,925,304,776.07, production costs of IDR 52,130,613,683.75, net profit of IDR 17,291,435,292.86, profit margin (PM) of 23.19%, break-even point (BEP) of 69.08%. Based on the economic analysis, it can be concluded that the preliminary design of the moringa leaf tea production plant using the maceration extraction process is feasible to establish.
