| dc.description.abstract | The handling of pineapple after harvest in skin peeling on farmer level generally are
done manually by knife. Therefore, to overcome this weaknesses and disadvantages, a semi
mechanic pineapple skin peeler was design that could peels the pineapple skin faster than
manually, so it could made the work capacity increased, more neat peeling results, reducing
the labor and can be used by anyone. The research was done by study of literature and
observing the pineapple skin peeler with press manual system. Then designing the shape and
coupling the components of the pineapple skin peeler. The pineapple skin peeler capacity for
11 cm, 10 cm and 7,5 cm blades diametre before honed were 139,76; 143,26; 149,25
pineapples per hour respectively. The pineapple skin peeler capacity for 11 cm, 10 cm, 7,5
cm blade diametre after honed were 143,47; 144,57; and 150,76 pineapples per hour
respectively. | en_US |
