supervised by AINUN ROHANAH and NAZIF ICHWAN.
Manual molding shrimp paste was considered not attractive because the
shape of the paste was not the same and reduced the price of shrimp paste. The
purpose of this research was to design, build, test and analyze the economic value
of shrimp paste molder. This research was conducted in April and August 2015 in
the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of
North Sumatra, Medan, by literature study, equipment tests and parameters
observation. The parameters observed were effective capacity, yield and economic
analysis.
Based on this research, it was summarized that the effective capacity of
the equipment was 51,54 kg/hour and the yield was 71,33%. Economic analysis
was as follows: basic costs for the first to the fifth year was Rp.224,59/kg,
Rp.225,16/kg, Rp.225,38/kg, Rp.226,45/kg, Rp.227,16/kg respectively. Break even
point (BEP) was at 5540,27 kg/year of shrimp paste molded. Net present value
(NPV) was Rp.128.931.698. Internal rate of return (IRR) was 42.2% | en_US |
