| dc.description.abstract | A study of the pulley diameter of mechanical banana
slicer, supervised by SAIPUL BAHRI DAULAY and AINUN ROHANAH. The
manufacturing process of agricultural produce into food stuffs is interesting to be
known. In fact many of agricultural crops become more economics after heaving
additional process. One of the manufacturing process is slicing. The aim of this
research was to test the distance of pulley diameter, conducted in Februari 2012
to March 2012 at the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of
Agriculture, North Sumatera University, Medan, by literature study, experiment,
observation, and testing of the equipment. The parameters observed were effective
capacity, percentage of material left on the equipment, percentage of material
which is not grated.
The results of the research showed that the pulley diameter had highly
significant effect on capacity, percentage of material which is not grated and
percentage of material left on the equipment. The best pulley diameter was 8
