| dc.description.abstract | ROBERT TIO HUTAGALUNG : Design and construction of onion chips molder,
supervised by AINUN ROHANAH and NAZIF ICHWAN.
Manual molding of onion chips was considered not effective because the
molding process have many steps. The purpose of this research was to design,
build, test and analyze the economic value of onion chips molder. This research
was conducted in October until December 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 30,63 kg/hour and the yield was 97,83%. Economic analysis
was as follows: basic costs for the first to the fifth year were Rp.323,48/kg,
Rp.323,66/kg, Rp.323,86/kg, Rp.324,07/kg, Rp.324,29/kg respectively. Break even
point (BEP) was at 11,42 kg/year of onion chips molded. Net present value (NPV)
was Rp.1.995.379.192. Internal rate of return (IRR) was 48,72%. | en_US |
