ALVARIO KESTURI : Design and construction of asam gelugur slicer, supervised by SAIPUL BAHRI DAULAY and LUKMAN ADLIN HARAHAP Asam gelugur (Garcinia atrovirdis Griff ), or asam keping is a type of nadir tree from Malaysia peninsula. Asam gelugur ( Garcinia atrovirdis Griff) is a dikotiledon type but without kotiledon. Asam gelugur fruit is used by people to make candied fruit, potion, and flavor. This research has been done since September 2014 to april 2015 in Laboratorium Keteknikan Pertanian, Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan by literature study, construction testing and equipment observation. The parameters observed were effective capacity, economic value analysis. BEP, NPV and IRR. It was summarized that the effective capacity of the equipment was 708,11 kg/hour, basic costs were Rp. 16,55/kg for the first year,Rp 15,54 for the second year, Rp. 15,19 for the third year, Rp 15,03 for the fourth year, and Rp. 14,93 for the fifth year. Break event point was 20.438,74 kg/year for the first year, 11.018,63 kg/year for the second year, 7882,98 kg/year for the third year, 6317,82 kg/year for the fourth year and 5380,71 kg/year for the fifth year. Net present value was Rp. 1.317.158.537,9. Internal rate of return was 43,56 %, It means that this equipment was worthy to made
