| dc.description.abstract | HAYADO TAMBUNAN: Design of Mechanical Corn Sheller Equipment.
Supervised by ACHWIL PUTRA MUNIR and SUMONO.
The use of corn sheller is one of post-harvest handling to increase maize
production. To support this, we need a corn sheller driven by electricity. The
study was conducted with literature study and observationon corn sheller. Then
design the coupling components of the equipment corn sheller. Effective capacity
was115,632 kg / h. The value of the effective capacity of the equipmentwas larger
than corn sheller driven by human power. Basic cost to be incurred in releasing
corn with this tool was Rp. 78,855/kg in the 1st
year, Rp. 73,474/kg in the 2nd
year,
Rp. 71,683/kg in the 3rd
year, Rp. 70,789/kg in the 4th
year, and
Rp. 70,254/kg in the 5th
year. Thisequipment will reach break even point if it has
been releasing cornat 5.645,97 kg/year. Net present value of the equipment with
6% interest rate was Rp. 127.291.705,59 which meant that the business was
feasible to run. The internal rate of return was 45,02 %. | en_US |
