Abstract

HARRIS MAULANA HARAHAP : Design of Manual Press Durian Fruit Peeler, supervised by ACHWIL PUTRA MUNIR and AINUN ROHANAH. Developments in science and technology is very rapiding pushing the development of equipment and agricultural machinery to improve post-harvest production. This research was aimed to design, create, test an analyze the economic value of manual press durian fruit peeler. The observed parameters that were effective capacity and economic analyze.The results showed that the effective capacity of the equipment was 633.015 pieces/hour. Basic cost incurred in stripping fruit durian was Rp. 619.2 kg/day. This equipment would achieve the break even point when it peeled durian fruit as much as 14704.37 kg. Net present value of this iinstrument with an interest ret of 6% was Rp. 113,749,581.19 which means that the business was feasible to run. The internal rate of return on this equipment was 45.59%.
