Uji Variasi Bentuk Mata Pisau Pada Alat Sawut Singkong (Manihot eskulenta) Model Vertikal

Abstract

Cassava grown in Indonesia is known by the Latin name Manihot. Esculenta can be processed into various food products where cassava is widely used as cassava chips by cutting or thinly sliced manually or by using a cutting machine. The purpose of this study is to test the variation of the shape of ordinary blades, sawut blades, and wave blades on a vertical model cassava sauting machine against the observed parameters such as the effective capacity of the tool, the percentage of material left behind, and the yield. The results showed that the average effective capacity of the tool in the experiment using the blade was 42.65 kg/hour, on the wave blade 95.97 kg/hour, and on the ordinary blade 116.66 kg/hour. The average yield value on the blade was 18.4 %, on the wave blade 25.63 %, and on the ordinary blade 64.13 %. The average percentage of material left behind on the blade is 79.7 %, on the wave blade 72.73 %, and on the ordinary blade 78.06 %.
